UK: Men trying to join the RAF were branded 'useless' by recruitment officers in leaked emails set to renew row over diversity quotas

Over 40% of the UK's population are white males. And there are no places for them?

Good enough to be conscripted, not good enough to be hired

Gjaukulf407 · 2023-05-31T17:42:36+00:00

Branded "useless" because they were white and men. AKA racism and sexism.

Oh wait I forgot white men can't be victims of racism and sexism. /s

niko_xf · 2023-05-31T20:36:55+00:00

Hmm, interesting. I wonder why isn't Ukraine forced to apply the same standards. I am sure white Ukrainian men will be more than happy to oblige. Once conflict ensues I really hope all white men try to escape subscription in UK. Some countries have completely lost the plot.

He succeeded Group Captain Elizabeth Nicholl, who resigned in protest at what she deemed to be an 'unlawful order' to effectively pause the selection of white men in an effort to hit 'impossible' diversity targets, according to defence sources.

The order was never implemented because of her resignation.

Seems like it could have been even worse but for this principled leader.

Well I feel a lot safer know the brave people serving in our RAF ticked the correct diversity boxes!

F'ing huge /S

Men should stop enrolling in the military en masse.

Group Captain Elizabeth Nicholl ... resigned in protest at what she deemed to be an 'unlawful order' to effectively pause the selection of white men in an effort to hit 'impossible' diversity targets, according to defence sources.

One of the good ones!

Some women really are on our side, even if they have to quit their jobs.

icedragon71 · 2023-05-31T21:26:15+00:00

I have to admit,tho,it was sad that a woman Group Captain resigned in protest because even she knew it was unrealistic,but a man simp sent the Useless white males email.

reeeegert · 2023-06-01T01:42:25+00:00

Why don’t we decide who gets into the counties defence force on merit and character rather than gender or race just a thought

mathruinedmylife · 2023-06-01T03:42:40+00:00

now just imagine how quickly they’d throw these men out for slaughter if the UK’s security were ever really threatened. disgusting

lewandisney69 · 2023-05-31T20:04:49+00:00

UK is such a shit show man. My condolences to all the young men out there.

Litmus44 · 2023-05-31T21:35:43+00:00

50,000 airmen from Bomber Command who died flying sorties to Germany in the Second World War are spinning their graves.All their deceased comrades who flew the spitfires and hurricanes join in too. Once on active service their life expectancy was about 3 weeks.

Halafax · 2023-05-31T22:44:58+00:00

Oh course they were.

You know, the institutions that are so fucking sick of useless males should do without them.

LifeAndReality85 · 2023-06-01T02:30:14+00:00

I guess the UK’s military wants to get it’s ass kicked. Well; this should be interesting. They must be getting ready for China to be the world power. That’s what all this diversity stuff really is going to accomplish. They’ll be able to walk right into power while we’re trying to figure out what pronoun to address them with so we don’t go to jail when we speak.

They’ve already emptied the prisons into the big cities, like during Covid. Let that simmer for a while and see what happens. There was a woman assaulted in my city this week where a random homeless woman walked up to another woman who was sitting outside a cafe enjoying a coffee and just hit her over the head with a bat. This is in a well to do college town. I grew up here and it was always so safe you never had a care in the world. The only place I’ve ever been to that truly felt and was like that. Now it’s going down the tubes with this institutional capture that has happened. It’s not a democrat thing, it’s an ideological thing. They’ve mixed a bunch of progressive values into democratic politics, and this progressive stuff is brand new, despite what the television says.

Ah yes the classic "White men are being discriminated and treated unfairly by the RAF solely because of their skin color and gender, ethnic minorities most affected"

TracyMorganFreeman · 2023-05-31T18:52:29+00:00

Well duh. Recruiters have metrics for success and white men aren't worth many points.

Spare_Development615 · 2023-05-31T23:02:13+00:00

White men shouldn't serve in the military.

They're too valuable to waste on worthless countries and their chickendick agendas.

woadhyl · 2023-06-01T01:12:20+00:00

Honestly, this is unintentionally a good thing. Since before recorded history, men's lives have been thrown away because they aren't considered valuable to society. Finally, after tens of thousands of years, lets let the women die in meaningless foreign wars while the men sit safe at home.

Royal_IDunno · 2023-05-31T21:13:30+00:00

diversity quotas? smh all for the current thing aye? bloody woketards.

Sewblon · 2023-06-01T05:54:08+00:00

It was specifically white men, and "useless" specifically in regards to diversity quotas. Not useless in a professional context.

Strontium_9T · 2023-06-01T20:20:22+00:00

Someday this will be illegal.

stellfox-x · 2023-06-01T06:56:33+00:00

It's happening across the UK. I am a hiring manager and as soon as a female CV comes in we move heaven and earth in the organisation to find a position for them to meet our published target of % women by a certain date.

We pay double to recruiters for bringing us female hires.

I am not questioning that diverse teams perform better but recruiting loads of well educated posh white women is not diverse at all.

SodaBoBomb · 2023-06-01T17:50:55+00:00

Oh sure they're selecting based on merit, but if one person is a minority and the other person is a white man and they're relatively equal in merit, guess who gets it?

Lightning77Plus · 2023-06-02T18:01:35+00:00

Cause that's what I care about as a soldier requesting air support: the colour of their skin or their genitals, not say, their aptitude as pilots.

The West deserves whatever it gets at this point.

I honestly hope the majority of white men turn their backs on these countries that see them as 'useless'.

"Unacceptable behavior. The leaked emails revealing derogatory comments towards aspiring RAF recruits is deeply concerning and raises serious questions about inclusivity and fairness in the recruitment process. It is crucial that diversity and merit-based selection go hand in hand to ensure equal opportunities for all.
