WOKE CRAZINESS

I dunno what's happening over there but it sounds like outrage bait

I’ll send this to my mate for a laugh - he’s a recruitment officer.

Repeat after me:

«Before getting outraged at random things I find on the internet, I'll make sure the source is legit»

Having served alongside our UK counterparts in both Iraq and Afghanistan, I can tell you that this article is wrong and is spreading BS. If your Military's recruitment is primarily targeted at white males, it will recruit primarily white males. Candidates should not be judged based on gender or race but on their ability to complete the training and to get the job done, that being said, if all you've recruited for the last 30 years are white males, there WILL be an inherent bias towards recruiting and promoting white males and preference will be given to them ahead of ethnic minorities and women. Your military overall only has 11% female service members yet they represent 50% of your population. Ethnic minorities represent 14% of your population yet less than 10% of your Military are Ethnic Minorities. White males comprise 93% of your military, there is definitely something wrong with this. The RAF all by itself has 2.5% ethnic minorities and 15% women yet you state that recruiting only ethnic minorities and women temporarily is "Woke"???

I loved reading through these replies…well don’t you, you can certainly fight your corner against some snide and arrogant replies. The problem with this site is that some not very clever people think they are very clever in their answers. I love the fact you don’t back down!

you know so called minorities should be given a chance but it should be level playing field for all no matter of your gender or creed [lizowen]

It is true, and hopefully this will mark the end of the RAF. These places don't need an attacking enemy to cause their demise because they are achieving that all on their own. I don't know how something (i.e wokeism) so profoundly strange and irrational could be so incredibly popular among people, especially those we depend on to be sensible and make sane decisions. Now, instead of choosing someone solely on their qualifications, experience, and character they will choose you because of their obsession with what your sex and your ethnic heritage is.

On a separate note, I hope the RAF stays out of Russian airspace in the future.

Sounds about right... It would be absolutely terrible to qualify people on characteristics that actually lead to them being good at their jobs. Instead, let's focus on the things that don't matter, like sex and skin color.

It's true and is in the news.A woman recruitment officer resigned over it then reported it to the media.She said that she was being told to reject white male applications.It's a self destructive approach by the RAF.Recruitment should be to select the best people for job roles regardless of race religion or gender.Anything else dilutes the quality of employees.

Everything is becoming woke. The same thing is happening with males in general. They want more women in the forces to be more diverse, as if women deserve a place in the front lines. This woke feminism BS needs to stop

When ever I come across stories like this I am reminded of Chief Hurnst from original Police Academy movie. Here is what he has to say about quotas.

Chief Hurnst: [Lamenting the newly relaxed admission requirements for the Academy] They all used to be the right color, the right height, the right weight. And they all had Johnsons, Lassard!

Cmndt. Eric Lassard: Johnsons?

Chief Hurnst: You know...

[motions to his groin]

Cmndt. Eric Lassard: Oh, yes.

Chief Hurnst: There were Johnsons as far as the eye can see.

Cmndt. Eric Lassard: Yes. And what a lovely sight it was.

Hiring should always be on the basis of superior ability- period.

What recent reports?

A woke military is truly dangerous.

I agree. I do watch Simon Webb's Youtube channel where he discusses with wonderful clarity and insight such matters.

I have given a link to the video homepage - well worth a watch.

That must be false information but don’t get me wrong, I believe you. Some of the things going on in this beautiful but sadly unhealthy world are mind blowing

I don't think that's quite the case. What happened was that the head of recruitment resigned from the role because she felt under pressure to do that.

WOKE = bullshit

We are not allowed to select people on ability

RAF selection policy - no whites need apply

I wouldn't feel safe unless the guy flying the plane has a dick.

I totally disagree with that decision, but you used the word "woke," so you're wrong.

Nonsense

It’s absolute madness, so stupid!

Interesting thread

Insanity.

But the question is, [b]is[/b] it true ? Or is it just race-baiting ?

Can't bat,,,,, Can't bowl
