Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Charlie Kirk said he would ask a Black pilot if he is qualified when he sees one.
Charlie Kirk, founder and president of the conservative Turning Point USA, faced online backlash after he admitted he would question the qualifications of Black pilots.
“If I see a Black pilot, I’m gonna be like ‘boy, I hope he is qualified,'” the activist and host of the The Charlie Kirk Show said.
Removing this rule leads to more qualified candidates applying and being considered. Even the Republican controlled state of Texas passed a ban on Black hair discrimination. Companies are removing barriers like this as well as challenges attitudes and biases toward diverse candidates.
He later added it was “not who I am, that’s not what I believe,” but said he was being made to react that way because he felt policies adopted by major companies regarding ethnic minorities meant less-qualified people were being given jobs with significant responsibility, including airline pilots.
Kirk’s producer, Blake Neff, blamed left-wing politics for Kirk’s comments, saying it was the “reality the left has created.”
One example to a barrier being removed for more diverse candidates is corporate hair standards. Some companies had restrictive hair standards that didn’t allow Black hair styles. This limited the hiring pool.
