No, DEI isn't making airplanes fall apart - Vox

Summary

The article discusses the recent air travel safety incidents with Boeing aircraft and conservative commentators' baseless claims linking DEI (diversity, equity, and inclusion) initiatives to aviation industry problems. Figures like Elon Musk and Donald Trump Jr. are mentioned for their roles in spreading these anti-DEI sentiments, despite aviation experts not identifying DEI as a cause for safety issues. The broader context includes aviation's historical lack of diversity and recent diversity efforts by companies like Boeing, which have not significantly changed demographic data. Critics' claims align with larger right-wing critiques of DEI across various sectors, how it intertwines with social justice principles, and the political framing ahead of the 2024 election, connecting the concept and tags about inclusivity, aviation safety, and public figures.
