Here’s Charlie’s response.

Now here’s the unedited interview. Notice how they edit the original and some very key data they leave out. Sorry FB is the only place this exists without reaction commentators. Notice it’s from 2021, right after BLM 2020. DEI blew up for all employers that year. Also note, he mentions all employees, not just pilots and C-suite.

So here’s where we put our thinking caps on. Why did they edit out the diversity data they discussed? Doesn’t fit the narrative right? Both sides do this. But why dig up this old clip and comment 3 years after the fact? Because he wants to blame and justify why he thinks white pilots are better than black pilots. He’s not saying that, but dances as close as he can get. It’s liberals fault I have racist thoughts. No Charlie, you let racist thoughts control your world view and you need to blame it on others to justify it. He’s a victim. We all are! Just sad misunderstood victims. No, you’re just dumb.
Anyone who’s involved in hiring and training employees knows no one is picking under repped people who are not qualified. Period. If they do they just get fired or leave eventually. Like all other bad hires.
At my job, we need a diverse staff to do the work we do. Since I work with the general public, you need cultural expertise in order to work with some communities. Many don’t trust the government, white people, and authority in general. And unlike Charlie Kirk, they have good reason not to trust these people. They’ve been burned over and over again. We can’t serve the whole community if we don’t understand how to work with them. I’m a white dude, many people don’t want to talk or trust me, I have to develop a deeper relationship with each person. It’s tough, it takes time, and I’m not the one they want to work with. I don’t blame them and don’t take offense. I get it. My colleagues who speak Spanish or are South American, African, etc have the skills to work immediately with these communities. We need these skills and cultural knowledge to serve the whole community effectively and efficiently.
I work great with the rich white guys. It really kinda sucks, but it’s the job. Most of the older city power players are old, white LDS dudes who ignore my female, Latina boss and seriously talk to me when they answer her questions. It’s so gross. But hey, we need to address their issues just like everyone else. And they’ll only talk to me because I’m a white male. This is not just an anecdote. I’ve been doing this and working with these people for 13 years in Utah. This is how power is structured in Utah.
