University of Oregon: Black thought can help us free science from the white supremacist traditions of scientists
It is so far beyond ridiculous, the Chinese don't even have to work any more to outpace us. They just have to sit back and wait & laugh. Just read over at quillette, that the Dean of Social Sciences at the University of Oregon wants the faculty to attend an "exiting presentation", with the title "Scientists vs. Science: Race, Gender, and Anti-Intellectualism in Science".

Black thought can help us free science from the white supremacist traditions of scientists. Scientists vs. Science will use Black feminist and anti-colonialist analyses to show that white supremacy is a total epistemic system that affects even our most “objective” areas of knowledge production. The talk hinges on the development of the concept of white empiricism, which I introduced to give a name to the way that anti-intellectual white supremacy plays a role in physicists’ analysis of when empirical data is important and what counts as empirical data. This white empiricism shapes both Black women’s (and other) experiences in physics and the actual knowledge produced about physics. Until this is understood and addressed directly, systems of domination will continue to play a major role in the practice of physics.
Holy f. hell!! Of course I know lefties are massively into drugs, but still! That?! Lets niggerize science, because who on earth needs physics. Or math, or electricity, or ...
