WOKE CRAZINESS

If recent reports are to be believed the RAF are now stopping white males from signing up , so they can increase the number of women and ethnic minorities.
Have you ever heard anything more stupid in your life?
IF it's true.
We no longer want white British men in the Royal Air Force.
Dear God, we are ruled by the insane.

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"???

@spjennifer Yes I do. It's totally crazy stopping the recruitment of white males. Absolute woke idiocy.

@LizOwen You forgot to mention "temporarily stopping the recruitment of white males" in your little racist and sexist rant, go back to reading your white supremacist rags 😖

LizOwen · 41-45, F

@spjennifer Neither racist nor sexist, only sensible. At a time when we could be approaching a war, halting the recruitment of volunteers is essentially stupid. Especially the recruitment of the backbone of the RAF purely for PC ends.

@spjennifer Thank you. I meet so many nice people from the UK, I occasionally forget that they have their racists, too; then a post like this reminds me. Especially using Black U.S. slang ("woke") with [b]no[/b] clue as to what it meant. Another bigot to block. 😞

@LizOwen The truly sad thing is you don't even realize that you are a racist:

[quote]halting the recruitment of volunteers[/quote]

So women and ethnic minorities are conscripts then? No, they are volunteers too. All they are doing is seeking to even out the numbers to more closely reflect the society in which they live.

[quote]Especially the recruitment of the backbone of the RAF[/quote]

And this is probably the most racist and sexist statement you've made and yet you don't even realize it. The women and ethnic minorities who also proudly serve are what to you then, dross, just diversity hires, worthless, hired because of "Political Correctness"? No, they are proud Soldiers, Airpersons, Sailors and Marines, just like their white male counterparts are. Like I said, go back to reading your little white supremacist rags and being outraged at every little thing you're told to 😖

@bijouxbroussard I have served alongside many proud women and ethnic minorities who've willingly given their lives so racists and sexists like this person can spew their nonsense and it sickens me that their service is reduced in this manner by someone who's never had the courage. Yes, sadly racism isn't solely reserved to America, they are everywhere and need to be brought out into the light of day and exposed for what they are 😊

@bijouxbroussard They definitely have racists in the UK, which is why Brexit happened. The UK equivalent of hillbillies upset over too many Poles in the country.

@spjennifer You do talk the most useless drivel don't you?
Anything that doesn't agree with your woke 'diversity' nonsense is racist - according to you.
Halting the recruitment of white males is both sexist and racist, as well as completely stupid- or can't you see that?
If not, there is something wrong with your head.

spjennifer · 56-60, T

@LizOwen Awww, poor little muffin is upset at being exposed as the racist she is 🤪C'mon Lizzie own up to it and tell us all about how special all your white males are now 😖

LizOwen · 41-45, F

@spjennifer You missed the point entirely, didn't you?
So tied up with diversity and searching for offence. Pretty typical of the PC people - the whole world revolves around their limited beliefs.
You in the services?
I doubt that very much indeed.

@LeopoldBloom To this say this analysis of the brexit referendum is facile is to insult the word facile. It’s a pathetic remark…and I say that as someone who voted to reskin IN Europe. I just can’t stand this clap trap from either side.

@SW-User Xenophobia was definitely an element.

@LizOwen No, I'm not an armed services member, and even if I was, I'm in the US. I would agree that a rigid quota system only addresses the symptom, not the problem. You would need to address why minorities are not joining at the same rate as whites instead of just keeping whites from joining until the percentages even out. But here we have the opposite where BIPOC have higher representation in the armed forces than they do in the general population.

LizOwen · 41-45, F

@LeopoldBloom Now that is a sensible reply. Thank you!

@spjennifer it really should be about ability to kill not reflecting any statistics
