Recently leaked emails have revealed that the Royal Air Force (RAF) had referred to white men as “useless white male pilots,” which reflects the pressure on recruitment officers to specifically enlist non-white men to improve diversity, per Sky News. As a result, the RAF paid out nearly $200,000 to 31 white men who claimed they were discriminated against in the recruitment process.
The report noted that there were a number of selection boards meant to place new recruits on various courses, and that these were canceled if they failed to include enough ethnic minorities and women. It was also revealed that the RAF had paid out just £5,000 to 31 white men, totaling £155,000, who were found to be discriminated against under Air Chief Marshal Sir Mike Wigston, the head of the RAF.
According to a further review, hundreds more people were also disadvantaged in the diversity effort. And these recent revelations seem to go against Wigston’s claim that there would be no discrimination against white men in the process of diversifying the RAF, according to two defense sources.
However, the RAF does not believe that there is any contradiction, with a spokesperson saying: “Selection standards were not and have not been altered and there was no compromise of entry standards and no impact on the frontline or operational effectiveness.”
But Sky News reported that a source within the defense said that the leaked emails represent a “smoking gun,” seeming to suggest that there was, in fact, discrimination against white men. The emails are dated between 2020 and 2021, when the recruitment process was taken on by Group Captain William Dole.
The emails in question have reportedly been used as evidence in an internal inquiry that was apparently launched in 2022 by the Ministry of Defense. The inquiry concerns what may have led to the resignation of Group Captain Lizzy Nicholl.

Race or gender should NOT have anything to do with qualifications.
In Jacksonville Florida it was thought that there not enough black EMT in the fire department, so they tried to recruit more black emergency medical technicians, but the blacks that applied could not pass the qualifications. So the city lowered the qualifications just to hire more blacks.
So now Jacksonville has less qualified EMTs’.
SHOULDN’T is the operative word. TO US.. TO the left, it’s in the way of diversity/equity/inclusion.
We are liberals, let us recruit the most incompetent people, so we can endanger the lives of the innocent, by being incompetent. We liberals should not have to compete against people that are more competent than we are, so we will have our diversity / inclusion / equity government by lowering standards, recruit and hire us!!!!!
Leftists judge according to intent, not results. And Leftists uncritically impute good intentions to their Fellow Travelers no matter how abhorrent their behavior, and bad intentions to conservatives no matter how saintly their behavior.
While its good they got smacked.. MERELY 5 grand per person in damages, is imo a SLAP IN THE FACE..
Yeah, they must’ve forgotten about all those “useless white male pilots” who saved Britain’s butt during WW2. These same fools would be speaking German right now if not for all those useless white male pilots in the RAF.
THere’s days i would love to split off the earth into 2+ realities.. AND SHOW the left, what the world would look like, if there WERE NO white males around, to reigin in all the others.. WE SEE exactly what blacks do, when they’re on their own, in Africa.. NOW imagine that world wide.
