The disciplinary actions came in the wake of the company’s “diversity equity plan” and the creation of a Diversity Equity Task Force which began last year, the report said.

Were there any specific examples of what they meant? The article didn't mention any.

Probably the usual.... 'He wore a T-shirt that said 'Born In The U.S.A.' on it, he must be racist'...

What did he say that they dug up? Was it a social media post or someone accusing him of saying something in the office?

Well, i have almost 25 years there and i don't believe that is true. As a matter of fact, i would say if you are a person of color you have an advantage there.
Just my experience.

That has been both my wife’s, and one of my best friend’s experience as well...

One’s an office worker, and one a machinist...

Same....my experience is if you're doing the work assigned to you and doing it without rework, everybody gets along well. and honestly I have seen zero overt racism towards any minority at Boeing.

Boeing HR is pretty risk adverse. They won’t fire anybody without a shit ton of documentation.
