Dear First Felon:

Sadly, it doesn’t surprise me in the least that you would – without a shred of evidence – accuse DEI programs as the cause of yesterday’s fatal plane crash near National Airport.

Let’s put aside for the moment that you have no idea how this accident occurred. Your assumptions about the cause of the accident itself are hateful.

But, as to DEI, since you are willfully ignorant there, too, I will explain the truth: DEI programs increase safety and responsibility. They help ensure that people who are actually qualified for a job have a chance to find the jobs commensurate with their talents. What deceases safety is white privilege, which puts unqualified white people ahead of others more qualified, simply because of their skin color. Yes, I know you have a strong preference for those descended from Northern European countries, but – mark this! – aviation accidents happened long before anyone ever conceived of idea of DEI.

I could give you a long list of aviation accidents associated only with Caucasians, but let’s just refer, for example, to the Hindenburg disaster.

You have managed to insult every person of color in the United States, every woman, every gay person, every minority. How presidential of you, sir!

Very truly yours,

Bruce J. Berger
