The overspeed condition was the proximate cause of the accident because it increased aerodynamic forces on the horizontal stabilizer that prevented the crew from manually overcoming the AND (aircraft nose-down) trim applied by the MCAS and also resulted in a terminal dive.
Turns out that it's hard to build an aircraft that is resistant to abuse by pilots with grossly inadequate flying skills.
Maybe Boeing should have taken the Airbus approach and have three independent flight computers vote on whether the pilot is an idiot. Oh, no, wait! They keep managing to crash those as well.
This red herring has been thoroughly refuted and discredited. It saddens me how some people keep parroting this nonsense hoping to brush off Boeing's gross negligence, specially when they resort to thinly veiled racism.
Not racism. Air France 447 came to grief by the exact same process. It wasn't a Boeing and it was flown by equally incompetent white men.
Likely Russian assets discrediting the second largest US defence contractor by fostering the torches-and-pitchforks motif among the ignorant.
There is no room for opinion here. If you do not understand the aerodynamics of this accident, you have no right or proper place in commenting.
And if anything, it's sexism, not racism. Men designed a system that values money over all else. That system put ill-trained male pilots in the cockpit without the flying skills to manage a simple runaway trim situation. It actively excluded women for the same reason: it was built to entrench male wealth.
There's also more than a few contradictory sections. If you're trying to send a message, it's not succeeding.

Furthermore, stow the elitism. No one got to a place of expertise without first being able to participate in the fundamental exchange of ideas. Something you're currently having some difficulty in doing.
