Personally I wouldn't have removed your video as some people just need a big beautiful slap in the face from reality, but I may have missed later edits or changes that prompted the feedback.
Given how you stated your point, you clearly had something you wanted to say. For my part, I've been working through your links and chewing on the ideas in them. Lots of interesting info, but not sure how to weave them into the existing tracks, and I feel I've spent more than my fair share of time doing solos, duos, and dueling riffs so wouldn't mind sitting down and strumming along in the background for a bit while someone else steps up and takes the spotlight.
What is there to circle back on? I answered your question about my prior statement of "How would all of humanity be inherently discriminatory?"
In that answer I provided several links to sources that substantiate my statement and then in a relative short paragraph that brings the discussion back to Hawaii and a personal experience, "waxed nostalgically" about the number of times my husband and I flew from Hawaii on board a jet piloted by at least one female, and on more times than one would think, two females.
Of course, the Dude finds that impossible to believe, well, because he is the Dude. A WOMAN pilot???? No effing way!
So I replied to the Dude about the "black chick" United Airlines Captain that my husband and I have personally been on several flights she herself was the Captain of and posted 2 short 1 minute long videos about her. That also apparently turns into posting reams of "black chicks" flying.
Now, as to further supplement my claim, as well as my response to you as to "How would all of humanity be inherently discriminatory?" I submit the following two responses. Can you pick out the performatively spritzed discriminatory words? Maybe see a dash of bigotry? A pinch of intolerance? And a whole lot of exaggeration used?

Doubtful. The longer flights on the big planes are awarded based upon seniority (ask the union on that) and since women pilots were not that numerous they would not have had the flight hours needed to bump their way to those flights. I will ask my friend, captain mark who is now flying semi-retired for American and who flew trip7's for years from DFW to HNL, KOA, OGG and LIH his thoughts. He currently flies 787's twice a month from DFW to various South American cities on contract, for $820 an hour. Nice gig if you can get it!

Seems to me reams of waxing nostalgically about black chicks flying planes is a hard stretch. In fact, going on about flying to and fro ain't really got anything to do with Puna, Hawaii either, does it? Though start a thread of its own and see if it flies.. in fact maybe try that whenever the itch strikes. It certainly would make it easier for those that don't use the blocking function to navigate..
As for this particular thread it just seemed like oil and water..
