If you needed any more proof that it's still damn hard to be a black professional in 2016, it's right here for all to see. The immediate assumption that "it must have been a mistake and "bigotry and racism sell newspapers" is as good an explanation as any as to why the likes of Trump can potentially become heads of state. Depressing.

You're talking to someone who flew as FO with a top rate black captain over thirty years ago and subsequently had a black head of training in a sister company.
Don't try to stifle comment by playing the race card; that's so passé.
