One-way video interviews make me feel like I’m being judged on what I look like and that my questions aren’t important

Im recently in the job searching process, and I applied for a job that required a resume, a full application, an assessment, a personality screening and then a one-way video interview. It feels so humiliating. I feel like I’m jumping through hoops and to top off the fact that I have to prove I’m qualified to do the job, now I have to pass an age/race/sex/attractiveness inspection. Aren’t interviews supposed to be a two-way streets? I’m always full of questions because my quality of life matters to me and I have to be sure they are right for me too. On top of all this, there is no mention of how much the position even pays. The message being communicated to me is that my questions aren’t important and what I bring to the table is ultimately decided based on what I look like. It feels so dehumanizing and disrespectful.
