This is just another B.S. made up scenario.

Again, the 100hr was just a random number I threw in. Now, change that to the bare minimum

To become a certified airline pilot in the United States, you need an Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate, which requires a minimum of 1,500 flight hours. This total must include specific types of flights, such as 500 hours of cross-country time, 100 hours of night flying, and 50 hours in multi-engine aircraft

A pilot (regardless of skin color) with that bare minimum requirement vs. a seasoned veteran with 10x of that amount. Who would you rather fly with?
If it was up to me, I could care less if my pilot is black/latino/female or whatever if UA's hiring criteria were "we only hire the best". Instead of "we would have 50% black and/or female pilots as long as they meet the FAA requirement" because diversity matters. Like... what do I care about what skin color is? I want the best pilots, not because the pilot is black or female.
And if you actually care that your pilot is black or female, you are the one who's racist because by definition, you believe that the skin color is better than merit. It just so happen that your preference is black and you don't get called out for. But that's the very essence of racism when you have preference based on skin color/ethinicity.
