It is the belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, especially so as to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another. it is using racial slurs against others.

I grew up a military brat,I went to DOD Schools, and my formative years were spent in a literal melting pot of cultures and races. I befriended kids who had parents from other countries and cultures. We were taught that we were all equals. I'm tired of this racism infesting everything in our society

[@Chris_yes]

I went to DOD schools in Europe and it was amazing, Canadians, Turkish, Greek, British, etc and all of us were colleagues. Regardless of skin colour. This was in the 90s. I would like to think that things are not this bad, but merely a few bad apples.

There is no wide spread racism. We all know it. But they have to divide and conquer so we don't see what they are really doing.

I spent eight years as a Civilian Contractor at a Naval Air Station. A large percentage of the people who worked in the hangar were not white. There were a lot of workers, both former military and civilian who were of African descent, also Hispanic and Asians. We had workers from India, Pakistan, Cuba, Puerto Rico, South Africa and many other places and most of them had served in the United States military, many of them for twenty years or more, in fact, they had gained their United States citizenship by serving in the military. While in the military, they learned the skills that allowed them to now work as civilian contractors to the military earning outstanding pay and benefits. I can tell you here and now that not one of them would tell you they were “oppressed” or being “kept down by the man”. They simply didn’t have patience for that nonsense. I am now retired and I can say that the crew of people in that squadron were the finest and most patriotic group of Americans I ever worked with.

The straight forward questioning by Stefanik should be the standard on these committees. This woman knows how to keep witnesses on track. Conversely, if the witness refuses or claims not to have knowledge when they're required to in order to hold their position that person should be subjected to immediate review to determine if they are qualified for the position they hold. The basic qualifications of these government positions are to KNOW what is happening under their guidance. Not answering direct questions from a review should be grounds for immediate impeachment/replacement. This lady is probably the best example I have seen to represent the taxpayers/citizens of the country. Kudos to her and may we please have more no nonsense people representing us. Thank you ma'am, you seem to know how to cut through the BS that constantly seems to stink up the swamp. If they won't answer fire them until our questions are answered. It's their obligation!

And really, in most unionized environments there is usually a disciplinary route that can be taken. In my over 40 yrs working exclusively with unionized employees, once you start the process, even though it takes time, the person either corrects their behaviour or they end up firing themselves. It just takes good management and diligence to achieve either result.
