I can't be the only person that can't parse wtf is even going on here.

Some alt text anyone?

Some chud account posted that black women are becoming airline pilots, with the implication being that this is because of woke and will result in countless deaths because everyone knows women can't drive [planes].

The Quartering, another chud who hates women, is mad that anyone would ever impeach the abilities of female pilots, because apparently his wife is one.

This probably marks the first time in history that the Quartering has ever defended the equality of women.

Thanks. I couldn't make out that the person in the image was black. Makes more sense now.

Original tweet by Lauren Witzke:
[video of Black woman pilot performing her job normally]
caption: As your silver-haired Maverick pilots retire, meet his new replacement...

Twitter community context:
This pilot is doing nothing wrong in this clip.
[link to FAA regulations]

Quartering reply:
I don't see anything wrong here. Are you made [sic, probably meant mad] because it's a black female? My wife is a pilot and at no point did she get reduced requirements. At no point did she not have to pass the same requirements as any man.

My explanation:
The original tweet was implicitly complaining about diversity, equity, and inclusion policies that may have led to this woman being hired. It belongs to a very common genre of post wherein online reactionaries lament the fall of western society before the... same people that have already been doing lots of jobs for decades or centuries. The Quartering is a political commentator/manchild who often makes videos ranting about the same phenomenon, except when it comes to movie characters. The irony of the situation is that the Quartering is the last person you'd ever expect to call out the blatant racebaiting and misogyny in the original tweet.

Latest frothingfash target is DEI programs that are trying to undo the blantant racism and sexism in hiring practices that maintained certain ingrained industries a supermajority white male. Pilots are like 90% white male.

The CHUDs lean into ugentics in that women and minority are of inferior intellect and also how dare a white male ever be subordinate to a woman or POC. So they fear monger that if you see a woman or POC in the cockpit, the plane's safety is compromised as a DEI hire despite equal meritorious qualification tests.

This also papers over the hyper crap-it-all-ist safety issues currently going on with Boeing's quality control. It projects to protect the patriarchy. It pushes eugenics and white male supremacy.
