What happens when diversity, equity, and inclusion trump talent and competence? From Jared Taylor at unz.com:
A “diverse” air traffic controller could kill you.
There hasn’t been a fatal commercial airline accident in the US since 2009. We’re due for one. We’re due for a lot. The New York Times has published the results of its own study that found 300 near-collisions in the most recent year for which there were data.
Over the last 10 years, that number has more than doubled. Incompetent air traffic controllers are a big part of the problem.
Controllers tell pilots which runways to use, when to take off and land, and where to fly. If a controller gets it wrong, he can tell two planes to smash into each other, like a case from New Orleans this summer.

A controller told the green plane coming in from the left to land on the same runway from which the purple plane was about to take off.
The green plane aborted the landing and just avoided crashing into the purple plane.
In July, a controller told an Allegiant Air Flight cruising at 23,000 feet to turn right into the path of another plane.
The pilot had to make such a violent turn than a flight attendant fell and was injured so badly, the pilot had to land so she could get medical treatment. Passengers on board were praying and crying.
