SCIENCE & TECH | World | NASA has scrapped its plans to land the first woman and person of colour on the Moon, aligning with Trump's directive against DEI practices.
Well…all in all, imo there should go people qualified to eo the job, not “black, " lgbt” “woman” “white” “hetero” “homo” etc…Just qualified people, no biasing to anyone, just let scientists do the s ience, not politics…
But they ARE qualified, that’s why they were chosen. And now they are being denied simply because of what they look like, that’s kind of the whole issue here.
Yeah that would be a lovely change over the history of rejecting people purely based on being black female etc.
There is a possibility to make an effort to correct a nations shamefully bigoted history. While still choosing qualifying people to do it.
Unless you some how assume they would not be qualified just because they are not white males. Much as 1960s nasa and the whole of the US did during the space race.

Assuming they’re not qualified is a form of implicit racial bias
