It's worse than that. The pilot was actually white.

Trump thought the pilot must have been black just because they crashed. When asked why he thought DEI caused the crash, he said, "Because I have common sense." He claimed without any source that the Obama administration "actually came out with a directive, too white" on aviation agency standards.

Incredible. I wasn't aware of that detail.

This, my friends, is the behavior of the supreme leader of the right-wing political party of the US.

'Racism from the political right is a boogeyman' indeed.
