If they were not good, why would the USA allow them to fly million dollar planes? BNI can't distinguish when there is a deliberate pick for something by color and others ending up in places not due to color, but merit. He doesn't understand that when someone says I want a black woman for SCOTUS and picks one, that there never was an attempt to get the best person possible and as a result will have her decisions questioned more so than had there been an attempt to be color AND sex blind and just picked the best person.
When you openly suggest that you are picking someone on anything outside of merit, right or wrong when things don't work out the qualifications will always be questioned. Of course someone can point to someone being hired due to a connection, but ALL those individual examples are completely different than when a "demographic" is chosen. By choosing a demographic, the choice ignores the individual! Those that have children or are close to families with children all know that each child is different, even if the environment was as similar as possible. Intersectionality is a cancer on society and the hallmark of the democrat party. I can't think of anything more destructive and illogical if a desire for unity and procurement of an advanced ideal is desired.
