"Racism"
With regard to all the comments about people being posting racially offensive comments, aviation is not a place for semantics or political correctness. The only thing that should be considered is the truth.
It is absolute fact that social hierarchy and a steep authority gradient played a part in several major accidents in Asia and the middle east. This is NOT to say these accidents are exclusive to these places and do not happen in the west, but for the most part this lesson has already been hard learned here, and use of CRM gives FO's the conviction to challenge the thankfully rare overbearing captain.
When the social settings of a cockpit contribute to an accident you must stand up and make people aware of it. (As you should any other contributing factor) Not because of the colour of their skin or the place they live, but because the communication and teamwork of a safe cockpit does not come naturally in a culture like that. This is not a problem as a culture, but when it comes to having lives sitting behind you this is a problem. You cannot shy away from discussing and addressing and issue of SAFETY just because you don't want to offend people.
It is far too early to determine if this had ANY involvement in this particular accident, but that doesn't seem to have stopped 40 pages of wild speculation and about 3 pages worth of useful contribution. However the message should be; if there is a safety problem, there needs to proactive re-education and retraining in the aviation community. Regardless of the sensitivities of doing so.
