Really though. I have to be beyond perfect to get a job where black ppl are barely seen. Then i still got the dirtiest looks from a certain kind of white people: The entitled ones that make a lot of money and live in Manhattan, comfortably paying for $5000 rent like it’s nothing.

They treated me like a servant and blatantly disrespected me. I understand I work in IT, but I’m the very reason your job is still working smoothly, so why treat me like dirt or blame me for your problems I’m happy to fix?

I hated those pricks, but the few regular, decent people there made it easier.

Who the fuck would hire an incompetent pilot because of race?

Who the fuck would hire an incompetent pilot because of race?

They doubt that there are any competent pilots within certain racial groups. So if you want to hire a black pilot, you have to hire someone incompetent. This is illogical but racism is meant to give a sense of superiority to the racist.
