He was using an example in the context of affirmative policy over meritocracy
Charlie Kirk made the statement on the January 3, 2024, episode of The Charlie Kirk Show, streamed on Rumble, during a discussion with guest Heather Mac Donald. The context was a conversation about affirmative action and its perceived impact on hiring practices. Kirk expressed concern that affirmative action policies might lead to hiring decisions based on race rather than merit, specifically questioning whether a "moronic Black woman" in a customer service role was employed due to her qualifications or because of affirmative action. He suggested that such policies could foster resentment and create "unwholesome thought patterns" by prompting doubts about individuals' competence based on their race. Mac Donald responded by criticizing what she called the "race hustle" and arguing that racial proportionality in hiring cannot coexist with excellence, citing statistics about academic performance among Black 12th graders to support her point. The discussion framed affirmative action as undermining meritocracy, with Kirk’s comment reflecting his skepticism about the qualifications of certain individuals in professional roles.
