A recent video featuring a Black pilot named Yung Mula YNOM has ignited a heated debate on social media platforms. 

In the video, Yung Mula, adorned with dreadlocks and grills, expresses gratitude for a successful flight, the Sports Grail reports. While many viewers praised his achievements and representation in a predominantly white industry, others criticized his appearance, suggesting it was unprofessional.

One critic commented, “I can assure his grill, Ebonics and ‘swagger’ doesn’t instill confidence in his passengers; I wouldn’t feel comfortable with my pilot wearing braids.”  

In contrast, supporters highlighted the significance of diversity in aviation. 

A Twitter user remarked, “If your pilot looks like this in a white male-dominated field, please believe he’s the best of the bunch… They wouldn’t even hire him unless he was perfect in every way as a pilot.”  

Clique, does his appearance bother you?
