I didn't see the original post but this is ridiculous. The external world is black and white. Color only exists after the light has passed thru the eye and into the brain.
There is no way to prove what I see as red is the same shade and hue that Andy' s sees. In fact Andy might be seeing what I call green every where I see red.
There is no way to prove one human sees the wave lengths of a color as the same hue as others.

Subject: [PhotoForum] Re: Color film was built for white people.... Video explanation
I seem to remember another similar video that labeled film as sexist but I don’t remember the reason. Maybe it was related to Shirley. This piece is making misleading statements about the technology. Our (or human) eyes have the same limitations (except that we have dynamic “auto” exposure capability). The piece refers to dynamic range and then color fidelity by a “professor” that seems to know very little about the technology. And mentions one film as being superior. That well may be but should advances film characteristics be ignored as being worthy of mention. And history? What was B&W film built for? Note that before color it was a B&W world. Did the makers of B&W materials deliberately choose to invent such a system?
This piece is inflammatory at best. Disappointing.
