Sullied?

Isn't that the act of landing a plane in the Hudson River?

Yes, but because of our societal norms and persistent discrimination against Black pilots in the airline industry which as existed since the days of our founding, such a term, though used w/Sullenberger as indicative of admiration of his skills, could only be used in the context of Blacks as a dumb stupid move, accidentally or incompetently driving an airplane into a river.

In short: racist. I rest my case.
