Look, I am glad that you included a link and clearly meant to attribute rather than steal the writing, but it is simply impolite to reproduce the entirety of the blog post without permission, and it does no service to your fellow redditors. A much better approach would have been to describe and recommend the blog post, illustrating your own words with relevant passages, as follows:
A related issue that bothers me greatly is when redditors parrot Malcom Gladwell's ridiculous and rather racist thesis that Koreans and other Asians are inherently culturally bad at running airlines. This thesis was utterly pulverized by the author of the 'Ask A Korean' blog in 2013, but it persists, perhaps because people love to grab onto stereotypes to justify the sense of unease they feel when dealing with foreign faces and cultures.
To build a case that Korean Air was more accident-prone than other airlines, Gladwell begins with a history of KAL's accidents. Curiously, Gladwell leads off with KAL's 1978 crash of Flight 902.... The plane wandered into the Russian airspace at the height of the Cold War, and a Russian fighter jet shot it down... in fact, although the aircraft was severely damaged, it managed to make a landing, saving the remaining passengers who were not killed by the attack.
Then Gladwell ticks off six more crashes between 1978 and 1997. Here, Gladwell completely neglects to mention that two of the crashes were caused by either military engagement or terrorism. Gladwell simply writes: "Three years after that, the airline another 747 near Sakhalin Island, Russia, followed by a Boeing 707 that went down over the Andaman Sea in 1987[.]"
In the first part of that sentence, Gladwell is referring to KAL Flight 007, which crashed in 1983. Reason for the crash? It traveled into Russian airspace, and the Russian jets shot it down. It is strange that Gladwell does not mention this, because the shoot-down of Flight 007 was one of the most significant events in the history of Cold War.
---- Culturalism, Gladwell, and Airplane Crashes, by T.K. at the Ask A Korean blog. It is an excellent read and I highly recommend it.
