Think this is in reference to Trump suggesting the recent airline disaster was caused by DEI hiring practices

The stupid thing is everyone makes mistakes, and unfortunately sooner or later a disaster will happen, and it will not be caused by any terrorists, and it will be tragic.

It is just who is left holding the bag. It could be any race, religion and sexual orientation holding it. While I do agree that the best person should always be hired for the job, that doesn't mean there isn't a benefit to hiring specific minorities (for example male teachers can be good male role models for kids, male nurses to help male patients, female officers to do pat down on female suspects etc). It only becomes an issue like in the gaming industry where many consultation companies gone too far, pushing DEI in a way that is clearly overboard and detrimental to the product. Hell, I like the idea of more women in the game industries to provide a fresh view of certain topics, but some places just straight out discriminate in the opposite direction (which is still discrimination) and then blame the populace for them not succeeding (when they made a shitty product).
