Times change but there is a subset of “leaders” who willfully don’t get it. There are many many humorous call signs possibilities that are not overtly racist or sexist. The senior officers in the room had an opportunity to redirect the conversation of junior personnel in a positive way and chose not to. They failed as leaders because they are supposed to value every member of their organization equally, not just white males.

The truly maddening thing is this is a perfect example of shooting yourselves in the foot. The RCAF, indeed the whole CAF, has a huge recruiting problem. Thanks to a few troglodytes we now get an avalanche of bad press. Great job there guys 🙄
