‘No Consideration' of Performance – RAF Told to Hire Women and Minorities over White Men
2022-08-21
[Breitbart] Royal Air Force (RAF) recruiters have allegedly been ordered to hire ethnic minorities and women over white males in an effort to meet government-backed diversity targets, leaks have reportedly revealed.

In an effort to meet race and gender diversity quotas set by the so-called Conservative Party government, recruiters within Britain’s Royal Air Force have been ordered to hire women and "BAME" (Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic) candidates over white men, a report published on Saturday has claimed.

Insiders within the air force had already claimed that an "effective pause" on the hiring of white men had been implemented, according to reports, with diversity targets being cited as having a negative impact on the air force’s operational capabilities.

Such claims have now been given even further backing, with a Sky News report claiming that documents leaked to the broadcaster appear to back up the charges.

According to the news organisation, one document explicitly stated that the "Recruitment Force continues to prioritise female candidates" for what is described as "customer relationship management".

Another document said that recruiters were prioritising ethnic minorities, saying the "[t]he Recruitment Force continues to prioritise BAME candidates from the VA for CRM, whilst Rec Ops [recruitment operations] prioritises its loading onto BRTC [basic training course," according to Sky.

Meanwhile, an internal email seen by Sky News reportedly showed the organisation ditching suitability interviews for proposed candidates — a move at least one insider has claimed was to decrease the number of women and ethnic minority candidates filtered out by the process.

#10  ^ Then softy men lead to hard times, which leads to hard men. Circle of life. Pussies suffer worst, but they like it.

I think that was Plato

#9   - # 7, I've heard that stated as "Hard men lead to good times, and good times lead to soft men."

#8  /\ That's the convenient thing about men like Donald Trump, they can be bashed in good times and in bad.

Starns writes in Odette, Chap 6, Fallen Heroine, page 180:

Criticisms leveled...., Historically the British press were in the habit of extolling the virtues of heroes and heroines then knocking them off their pedestal the next. In Australia the process was called the tall poppy syndrone, a peculier feature of all societies, where nobody was allowed to be considered better than the rest of the population for too long since heroic people made the rest feel inadequate.


Some food for thought if nothing else.

#7  When times are good, you can indulge in nonsense like this. If times turn bad, as they always seem to, you will find yourself looking out from under the rubble at your new flag.

While it may seem blindly obvious, there is no use pointing it out since the "woke" are entirely unable to see the connections between things.

#6  RAF told to hire women and minorities over white men.

If you put selected members of the targeted audience in charge of hiring, there is little they must be "told."

#4  .Com (Absent friends!) talked about the Saudi government forcing them to 'employ' Saudi nationals. Like the old joke by a contract programmer: "Better code and more work would be accomplished if you paid them to stay home." Once you elevate ethnicity, or nepotism, over competence the system rots from within.

...and Silentbrick, I expect that soon the US Military will start turning into a joke as all of the "affirmative action promotion" NCOs gain seniority and start promoting the next generation by tribal criteria.

#3  Britain should thank its lucky stars that Hitler faced the RAF of the 1940s, not the RAF of the 2020s.

#2  What should happen next is all the white guys just retire, leave, etc. Then they will have their 'dream' RAF, which should be pretty hilarious.
