I’d guess she’d easily qualify as much as a former president.

He looked 50/50. She looks 25/75. Not knocking her. I'm knocking the pc/tribalist article that refers to her as an African American woman. Here's an example;

At the time, you were one of two African-American women among only 50 total female pilots. How did that impact your early career?

I think the impact was that female pilots were so new that there were logistical-type challenges. But as far as fitting in socially, I was very surprised. I think a lot of female pilots will say the same thing, that the guys accepted us. And there were maybe some guys who were opposed, but I didn’t see that. Our challenge was equipment, making sure that our equipment could be personalized for females.

Notice her reply speaks to being a female but not AA. She probably doesn't think of herself as an AA but the interviewer had to get that in there.
