[QUOTE="Willie the Duck, post: 8746389, member: 6799660"] Fundamentally, these types of videos (and there are plenty of 'why more <blacks, or sometimes non-white-men> aren't in ______'-type videos for hobbies as varied as ultimate disc leagues to recreational hunting/camping/fishing to collegiate solar car teams to Lego mechanics) are interesting and the overall interplay of initial historical pastime demographics, current representation, critical mass, and so on are a crazy tough knot to untangle. However, whenever someone of the DHSM ilk post something like this, I always want to respond with, "What, exactly, do you think you have shown?" or "What point do you think you are making?" I say so because, true to this time, they are often just dropped into the social media space without preface as though the very existence of the video proves some larger overarching point (which point exactly not being made clear).
