    We’re not required to provide evidence lol. You are the one making an assertion, burden of proof is on you.

      If you’re asserting that it can’t POSSIBLY have been a DEI hire, I’d say that requires proof as well.

      All you’re saying is my evidence isn’t good enough to convict someone based on it, which I already know and have admitted. This isn’t a court of law, so speculation is certainly allowed. You don’t have to believe me, but you’re not going to change my mind either unless you can come up with a better theory.

        You haven’t made a compelling argument for anyone to believe you or to rationally justify your own belief.

        unless you can come up with a better theory.

        There are literally thousands of articles being written about systemic problems at Boeing. Your “theory” consists of noticing this one person’s race and saying DEI. You’re literally the guy in the OP.

          Well, Boeing HAS been on a massive project to increase their diversity recently. And as that whistleblower pointed out, it appears that quality of workmanship has taken a backseat to that.

          Which is easily explainable by the fact that managers are incentive-driven creatures. You incentivize quality, you get quality. You incentive profit, you get profit. You incentivize diversity, you get diversity. But try as you might, you can never optimize for all three at the same time without missing some of the targets in any given one of these categories.

          You don’t have to like my theory, but it’s at least logical and consistent. Yours, on the other hand, consists of saying “shit happens, can’t explain that” and calling me racist.
