Portmanteau - this is nothing to do with racism and bigotry. A child of three could figure out that a plane can't land with the wheels UP (two seconds after first touch) nor climb when the engines are on IDLE. All the guff about windshear is all well and good but since they were warned they should have taken it into account. Reading the report gives the impression to ordinary folk that the pilot screwed up which with 'over 7000 hours' should not have happened. If it had been blowing hard with rain at night there might be some excuse. It wasn't, there isn't and if calling out an incompetent local pilot is racism then all is lost..
