Plane Craziness

Racism the liberal way:

As documented by Rufo and colleague Ryan Thorpe and corroborated by whistleblower accounts, as recently as a few years ago, Lockheed Martin blatantly violated existing civil rights laws to discriminate against white people. The Lockheed case Rufo documented was as open-and-shut as it was remarkable. In 2022, after submitting a carefully calculated list of bonus recipients among their staff — known as the “Comp Adder” list — based on merit, an employee who would become the whistleblower was informed by higher-ups that the list had a problem: it included “too many white employees.” Santiago Bulnes, a Lockheed vice president now leading engineering on the firm’s F-35 program (a program 10 years late and almost 100% over budget), emailed the whistleblower, noting that human resources director La Wanda Moorer was concerned about the “diversity stats” of the bonus list. Moorer’s instructions were clear: increase the number of people of color on the list, even if it meant removing an equal number of “non-minority” (i.e., white) employees. The directive was explicit, as was the demand to disadvantage whites: “Increasing POC for Comp Adder will result in removing equal count of non-minority.” This is, of course, wildly illegal. It is also commonplace in the corporate world, albeit in various guises. For example, in The Unprotected Class I wrote about numerous similar cases, such as senior Google recruiter Arne Wilberg who claimed that he was fired for refusing to discriminate against White and Asian men in his hiring practices. According to Wilberg, “recruiters were given quotas” and “told to cancel interviews with white and Asian male job candidates.”

Only the "right" ones need apply...
