What does this mean?

  The US (as a generalisation) seems to be pretty racist. The approaches they've tried for solving this seem to be making the racism problem far worse though, rather than solving it. Hopefully they figure it out and solve the problem in a good way in the near future, though I'm not holding my breath.

    Currently the federal judicial is happily undoing the last 50 years of societal improvement.

  It seems pretty straightforward. The TSA doesn't focus on competence when hiring, resulting in a less competent workforce. They have an entire department dedicated to prioritizing characteristics unrelated to competence, such as skin color, sex, etc.: https://www.tsa.gov/civil-rights-diversity-and-inclusion https://www.tsa.gov/civil-rights-diversity-and-inclusion. This is not the case of most countries and in fact, it's illegal in many places to do so.

    Tbh, I knew what he likely meant. Just prefer people say what they mean. The link you’ve shared doesn’t support the assertion you’ve made.

      It does to me. The goal of achieving a workforce that is phenotypically representative of larger society (a goal of that department) is incompatible with the one of achieving a competent workforce. If the goals were compatible, there would be no need for such a department as it would just occur naturally through hiring the most competent workforce. The department exists because hiring the most competent workforce does not result in a workforce that is phenotypically representative of larger society.

        That goal, as you’ve stated, is nowhere on the website. Thanks for clarifying your position though.
