Your argument is an appeal to ignorance. Aka, a logical fallacy, Aka a shit argument.

How so?

I provided a reasonable, possible explanation with circumstantial evidence to support it. All you've done is call it racist, which is simply an appeal to emotion. If anything you're appealing to ignorance by suggesting that this line of inquiry does not merit any further investigation because if proven true, it would offend a lot of people. You're literally making the case that it's better to be ignorant than racist.

You did no such thing.

All you've done is call it racist, which is simply an appeal to emotion.

Ironically, your entire premise provides more circumstantial evidence for you being racist than any particular problem at Boeing.
