Delta Airlines stopped saying "ladies and gentlemen" in announcements for inclusion. The speaker questions who was actually excluded by the phrase and argues the change signals ideological conformity rather than solving a real problem.
Hi everybody, which is now what they'll say, by the way, in the US on Delta Airlines, one of the 3 biggest airlines. They have now announced that in the name of inclusion, they won't say ladies and gentlemen any longer at the, in the boarding process or on the airplane. The argument is that if we say ladies and gentlemen, we're not inclusive, but of whom exactly? Are we not inclusive? Ladies are females, gentlemen are males. So even if you're trans, even if you're both, you're still male or female or both. So whom is Delta Airlines not being inclusive of? It shows you the force that DEI, diversity, equity, inclusion, is.
