If we are all equal, then why post news about having 2 black woman pilots in control of the plane?

As the pilots are behind locked doors, they could have space aliens in there for all I know. So long as we touch down in one piece, it's all good.

Have they been keeping track all of these years of the race and sex of the pilots on each flight? Why?

How can the flight cabin be diverse when the flight crew is the same?

Sorry but what is this for strange news. 2 Black pilots is suddenly front page news. We also don't bring it as a news if there are 2 white pilots on a flight.
