I'm wondering what "racist and discriminatory conduct" includes, and what was used for evidence? This sure sounds like some kind of virtue signaling agenda. It occurred over nearly a year's time, but was apparently initiated right after George Floyd, so I can't help but think there were a good number of sacrificial lambs in the 65 count.
Boeing said on Friday it fired 65 employees over the last year for engaging in or being part of racist, discriminatory or hateful conduct.
In a company-wide report that reveals the first demographic breakdown of its workforce, the planemaker said the employees were terminated between June 2020 and April 21, 2021.
American companies have come under pressure from investors to publicly disclose information about diversity among employees in the wake of movements such as Black Lives Matter.
Boeing said about 69 percent of its U.S. workforce was made of white employees and 31 percent from other races, including about 6.4 percent black employees. Boeing has previously said it aims to take the number of black employees up by 20 percent.

Let me guess...
Being white, conservative, and Christian is terms for dismissal?

US Racial Breakdown: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_United_States#Race_and_ethnicity
So since it's race uber alles these days, and Whites are already underrepresented in Boeing's work force can we assume they will be firing Hispanics and/or Asians to free up space for the black quota?
Also, are we going to go ahead and repeal the laws that say you can't give hiring preference due to race, or just continue to ignore them when convenient?

Here is the article in the Seattle Times about it. I find it interesting that the Times did not do an article themselves, but rather used an article from Bloomberg.

Diversity Inclusion Equity

I guess I would also have to ask what the demographic breakdown of the fired employees was? I know that we are supposed to accept that only white people can be racist, but certainly any demographic can be "hateful", no?

Probably much like any other large, multi-state employer, Boeing does have the occasional racist problems crop up: https://www.kuow.org/stories/boeing-says-racism-will-not-be-tolerated-will-it-be-driven-off-the-shop-floor

Boeing needs to fire the clowns that caused Starliner to fail its mission by neglecting to sync its mission clock to the launch vehicle clock, and the other clowns that didn't program the service module to eject properly from the capsule on reentry. Their views on race/politics being irrelevant, they failed in a spectacular manner that could have cost lives if Boeing was allowed to fly their first capsule with actual crew.

With Kamala Harris now chairing the National Space Council I'm sure all this will be straighten out quick. :rofl: :'(

The one-finger signal, which represents the desire for one race to reign supreme

Entire Water Polo Team Drowns Kneeling For National Anthem
https://babylonbee.com/news/entire-water-polo-team-drowns-kneeling-for-national-anthem
As soon as the flag was unfurled and the national anthem started to play, all the polo players swam to the bottom of the pool and took a knee. The anthem lasted a long time, as the singer decided to add all those weird vocal fills to change things up. Unfortunately, it lasted so long that the entire team took in too much water and died.
