Pearls of Wisdom from a comment section regarding the Naval Academy trial on race-based admissions:
But first, actual headline from Reuters: "US Naval Academy defends race-conscious admissions policies at trial". What a headline, USNA defends being racist. That's what the first "R" in STARRS is: Stand Together Against Racism . . . Turns out the Left has been projecting against you all this time.
“If DEI is so great, why are people unhappy when they are called a DEI hire? Shouldn't they feel honored?”
“It should be a strictly merit-based selection process. People can more likely die when not choosing the best candidates.”
“My friend wants to know if the Chinese have race-based initiatives for their military leaders.”
“When you fight Racism with Racism the end result is Racism.”
“How about we seek the best and brightest without regard for bathrooms, preferences or heritage?”
"Everyone has an equal opportunity to strive to be the best, not a guarantee to get a place on the basis of DEI.”
“Once we pick the most qualified candidates not based on color, sex or religion, then we can begin to call ourselves a racist-free country.”
“As an ex-submarine officer, I wanted the best qualified people on the crew. If one person failed to do a critical job properly, we could have all died together. Race has no place in any selection process.”
“Admission should be on merit and nothing else! Race-based or DEI is a mistake that will get people killed in combat operations.”
“Choosing because of race or gender over skill, intelligence, competency = lower standards = downfall of academies. It's also reverse racism.”
“The attorneys argue that "unlike civilian universities, USNA prepares students for war." As a veteran, I would prefer that the officer leading me into battle got into the service academy because he was smarter than the other applicants. Not because he was black, Latino or some other preferred group. DEI has no place in the military.”
“Ask any enlisted Navy or Marine personnel and they will quickly tell you it’s easy to identify officers who were given preferential treatment in their admission to the Academy.”
“I am a combat veteran, also a woman. When I went into the Army then accepted to flight school, there was none of this crazy DEI "race" stuff. And thank God, because I would have never felt I truly earned it. And while in flight school I had the same requirements as the men to include physical. Yet, the Army was very diversified. A lot of that was thanks to Reagan. Take the best.”
“In 1963, I entered the Naval Academy as 1 of 4 non-white guys in the Class of '67. I, an Asian, was proud that I earned my appointment competitively and would not have wanted otherwise.”
“Without respect to a person's race, I want the best, most competent, and intelligent people leading our armed forces. That is national security.”
