This article is about a government agency that deliberately used race over merit. The documents show that a merit-based test (of cognitive ability) was scrapped because too many black people failed. It was replaced with a point system, based on biographical data, where a lower grade in high school science improved an applicant's odds of being hired.
Regardless of what is true about "most organizations", the FAA engaged in a deliberately racist scheme to exclude the most qualified people if they are an undesirable race.
You seem to be responding to a specific example of a federal agency engaging in racism by saying that most organizations are not that way. How does that make this instance acceptable? Given the long period of time the government has been getting away with it, how do you know most organizations are not quietly doing the same thing?
