=== Affirmative Action ===
{{BQ}}
Affirmative action President Kennedy tried to push the best but still underqualified Black pilot to be an Astronaut. All others were the elite top gun fliers, which "happened" to be white. {{Pc}} would blame racism, [[slavery]], [[colonialism]], [[institutional racism]].
Equally the Navy Seals that shot Osama Bin Laden were all white. The top of the top elite is usually white. In spite of meritocracy, {{Pc}} cries racism. Hollywood of course, in best [[lying press]] fashion [[falsification|falsified]] history and put a Black man in a leading role into the team.

Never mind that, unlike more than 1200 white Army Air Force pilots in World War II, not one Tuskegee Airmen earned the honorific of “ace” (five or more confirmed enemy kills).
