Moses Rifkin of University Prep in Seattle has decided that his Physics students do not know enough about white privilege.
Mr. Rifkin’s lesson will ask students to look at African American scientists of the past. The assignment asks the question, “Why, percentage-wise, are there dramatically fewer black physicists than black Americans? Is it because black students are not interested in physics? Not capable? Something else?”
Oddly, Rifkin’s curriculum specifically bans studying any other minorities but African Americans.
“We do this,” the lesson explains, “because it’s a particularly illustrative example; we aren’t going to directly address other scientific minorities, and there are many: women, other races, the economically disadvantaged, the physically disabled, etc.”

According to the Jewish Virtual Library, since the Nobel was first awarded in 1901 approximately 193 of the 855 honorees have been Jewish (22%). Jews make up less than 0.2% of the global population.
If you want to succeed like them, do what they do!
This is something the left absolutely rejects.
It is as old as Genesis--the technique I mean. Almost all mischievous promoters throughout history have used the same technique. You focus the attention of the susceptible on imaginary grievances; never on actual Blessings or opportunities. It is the key to the success of every corrupt "ism"; to almost every destructive change in social direction.
No, it never ends. It will not end so long as evil men seek to mislead the susceptible, for their own purposes.

Yet another reason why “chrome won’t get you home”?
Ahhhh, thank you.
Old eyes play'n tricks on me again.
“Why, percentage-wise, are there dramatically fewer black physicists than black Americans?”
Because they prefer basketball. Maybe if they didn’t insist on being distinctly black by rejecting education and civilization, there would be more blacks doing all sorts of things.
I think Mr. Rifkin should teach about Jewish paternalism to the rest of mankind.
It’s high time to return to the “Melting Pot” concept. We are all Americans.
Case in point: There are no black people in any of my Intro to Programming/Engineering/Comp Sci classes...
The only minorities in said classes (in order of frequency): Oriental, Hindu, Arab, Hispanic (Native American/White)
I have the privilege to bust my hump everyday to pay for self-determined wards of the state to sit on their a$$es daily and receive their EBT card deposits monthly.
When I read the title, I thought it was going to be a black/white differences demonstration in physics.
For example, we put an ice cube in a white cup and another ice cube in a black cup. Then we put both cups onto a sunny window shelf.
“Class, what do you see? Which ice cube melted faster?”
The white glass kept cool longer—that’s white privilege at work.
All this stems from a collective neurosis. Unfortunately it seems to be getting worse.
That's not a physics question. It's a sociology or anthropology question. Two words:
"Bell Curve".
"...they can't dumb down medical school tests/training..."
Physicists, not Physicians.
( It's still early, grab another cup of coffee :-) )
“We do this,” the lesson explains, “because it’s a particularly illustrative example; we aren’t going to directly address other scientific minorities, and there are many: women, other races, the economically disadvantaged, the physically disabled, etc.”
YOU...do this in order to stifle real scientific research done by REAL Scientists who are more than capable of doing the work.
But since you libs are in dire need of golden calf racial “scientists” you must lower that bar ever more to include your aggrieved groups.
LOL. Please reference post #24
Um, you really want to post links from a white supremacist site?
You can’t dumb down the Physics curriculum, either. Not if you want to graduate competent physicists and engineers.
1) Dude’s awesome.
2) That took a lot of practice to get it right.
