RAF accused of “artificially inflating” diversity numbers

[Blue Maverick]

Changed my turn of phraseregarding white male, if you want carry in reading upto you now.

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

How soon before they lower the selection criteria and start training chimps to fly?

The answer is ‘yes’ to questions 1 & 2

The answer is ‘it never did’ to question 3

When it comes to RAF pilots they are overwhelming white. So, the main criteria to become a pilot is to be white. Your ethnicity is the starting point for being a pilot. Your ability is a secondary consideration.

In times of crisis the ethnicity rule will be relaxed, ie ability and willingness becomes more important.

The idea no one cares about ethnicity, race or gender and that ability is the most important criteria is absolute bollocks and always has been.

But they are white females and males so that doesn’t fit your narrative. If the % of minorities is low then it stands to reason that % of pilots will also reflect this. You certainly can’t pass someone to be a pilot in a fast jet based on a quota, these targets will be fir the admin etc.

This country is being run by wankers and people with an agenda of social engineering which IMHO is an enemy to us all.

Agree with this. The issue is people tend to misunderstand what they’re actually socially engineering, this story and the reaction to it being a prime case in point.

Cloud cuckoo land if you think an agenda isn't in play.

Of course there’s an agenda. I’ll give it forty eight hours before the topic comes up in a hustings debate…
