I wonder if she has actual control. It's probably like a disney ride with a fske control board and blinky lights. Who would ever want an Afirmative Action pilot, doctor, engineer, chemist, nurse, etc?
I'm leaning towards Disney ride. You know those old time gas cars you can drive at amusement parks where the tires are made so they can't cross the center bump along the road, but they let children feel like they're driving. I'm guessing no matter how much diversity hire cranked the wheel and fucked with the throttle, it'll stay on course and the worst thing that would happen would be some warning messages from HAL9000 telling the nigger to step away from the controls for making him waste half an ounce of fuel on wasted thrust corrections. Then computer will remind her to put on her culturally appropriated white wig and fix her makeup for the selfie camera because the (((press))) will need these photos when they pretend she drove the fucking thing.
SpaceX's passenger spacecraft is derived from its earlier unmanned cargo spacecraft. The current cargo craft is just the passenger one without seats and stuff. It's all highly automated; the pilot is a glorified babysitter. You could probably put a literal monkey in charge and everything would be fine.
Piloting isn't that difficult. All you do is follow the checklist. In this situation she's going to have an entire team of people on call instructing her what to do at every moment.
The only time it's difficult is when something unexpected occurs and you're required to perform a correction quickly.
My point is, don't get your hopes up. I doubt they would put any one person in a position where they can fuck things up that badly.

I hadn't followed that enough to know who was pilot. This makes it more exciting.
