Cause you know when you think of a contribution to science and progress you must think of the sex and skin color of the inventor not the contribution. This in case there was someone on this planet who did not realize how racist washington post is.
And it's not even "Wow, non-whites and women suck!" racism. They discover that white men have done more than their fair share for scientific progress, and they think the problem is white men.
That's the problem with pursuing "equality" eventually you'll find that one group is more effective than others. Even if you tip the scales against them they might be better on average than other groups. In that case, the only way to make them "equal" in outcome is handicapping their success.
Diana Moon Glampers when?
Spiteful mutants.
I'm sure in their solipsistic mind every great scientific achievement and invention has some super secret genius minority, or woman, behind the scenes who was the real brains that made it happen.
As if this crap is ever going to make me feel ashamed of being the born the way I am, or that I'll somehow feel guilty for shit I had nothing to do with. It's all so fucking silly.
Also, when you think of a contribution to science and progress, you think of journalists. Thank you bloggers and liberal art flunkies for your valuable input about the hard sciences
Most contributors to math and science are Europeans or descendants of Europeans. Some aren't, but most who made the fundamentals are, and that's fine.
Here's a hint: no two classrooms are the same. A classroom in New York City, Nebraska, and near the Mexican border are all going to be different. Unless you're going to have different textbooks for different racial makeups, making the textbook reflect racial makeup of the classroom is a fool's errand.
I'm courious which way they will go. Rewrite history and pretend every progress was actual thanks to a minority or rewrite history and pretend these things just happened out of nowhere
Start a religion where different technologies, like writing and stuff, was handed down to Man by gods that looked like humans-of-colour. Maybe the gods will be colour-coded for convenience, just like the Egyptians used animal heads for to make it easier to tell who was whom.
They've already started with Kangzian theory
