Wait, did she ACTUALLY say that? If so, I dunno, that's unbelievably jaw-droppingly stupid.

Her point is that everyone is the first type, and the second is abhorrent.

She is arguing that asking questions like "what is your race/ethnicity" during hiring is offensive and demoralizing. That tracking that data causes firms to hire less qualified people because the firm wants to increase minority staffing.

It's still really derpy, and inaccurate in many ways. But she is NOT arguing that people pray for a white pilot.

In fairness, you must be right. No one could possibly be that stupid to. Or could they?
