Yes, it is. But the story focus and headline was about skin color. If the focus was on NASA and the first black women were secondary, it’s newsworthy. The angle was stirring up anger at racism as if it’s the first time it happened.
But, in retrospect, if I were black, I’d want the focus on their color. As a female, I want that prominent. As a white female, I’m proud of the women and proud the black women were recognized. So I can see why stories come from different angles.
I guess the story angle can be considered racism to some but not to all. It depends how you look at it.
