Mav was still shook up and they weren't sure if he could fly so they sent the only brother in Top Gun up with him.

This is from a documentary I watched recently

The call sign “Viper” is racist.

Maverick was basically his master and it displayed white superiority so of course it was racist.

The only real answer would have been for a black Maverick and a white pilot that wasn’t good

The answer is to destroy all copies of the movie and pretend it never existed, then create a new narrative. Once that is done, force that narrative on everyone and destroy those who do not fully accept the new narrative. Then and only then will you achieve the greatness and Infallibility of groupthink.

Not at all, but the fact that LTJG Marcus Williams’s call sign was “Sundown” , well, now we’re walking that thin line.

We now must cancel the sun, because it is racist.

Sundown was correct, "they could of had em, they coulda had em".

Maverick's rejection of constructive criticism from a minority colleague while also assaulting him is an overt display of white privilege. Further, the fact that Maverick could have taken an effective shot at the Russian enemy and did not is indicative of collusion likely to steal a future election to further oppress the minority colleague.

No this was the polar opposite of racist because ordinarily the black actor is the first to die in the movie. Here Goose died before the black actor could get a chance to die.
