The comments to the tweet seemed to show that scientists preferred their science to be based on science, but now Oxford University has announced its intention to “decolonize” its science and math degrees, as well as offer lenient grading to anyone affected by the Black Lives Matter movement.
"Oxford University has revealed plans to “decolonise” its maths and science degrees and will allow students of any subject who have been affected by the Black Lives Matter furore to seek lenient marking."

That's the way to bet. HRs with federal contracts are REQUIRED to hire a ratio of blacks, women, handicapped. Ability comes a LOOOONG way second. Color, gender, "differently abled" is the criteria. You ever seen a temporary scaffold with 12% ramps, because there was a useless mandate? Had to design them, per OSHA.
And now in the US, they won’t even have taken the SAT.
That’s okay genuinely smart people will find a way to succeed, and those given a free ride regardless of their brain power, will eventaully flop in the real world. Unless they become professors.
Translation: They can’t pass the real exams.
Real engineers don’t need fake diplomas.
Take up the White Man’s burden—
Send forth the best ye breed—
Go bind your sons to exile
To serve your captives’ need;
To wait in heavy harness
On fluttered folk and wild—
Your new-caught, sullen peoples,
Half devil and half child.
Take up the White Man’s burden—
In patience to abide,
To veil the threat of terror
And check the show of pride;
By open speech and simple,
An hundred times made plain.
To seek another’s profit,
And work another’s gain.
Take up the White Man’s burden—
The savage wars of peace—
Fill full the mouth of Famine
And bid the sickness cease;
And when your goal is nearest
The end for others sought,
Watch Sloth and heathen Folly
Bring all your hopes to nought.
Take up the White Man’s burden—
No tawdry rule of kings,
But toil of serf and sweeper—
The tale of common things.
The ports ye shall not enter,
The roads ye shall not tread,
Go make them with your living,
And mark them with your dead!
Take up the White Man’s burden—
And reap his old reward:
The blame of those ye better,
The hate of those ye guard—
The cry of hosts ye humour
(Ah, slowly!) toward the light:—
“Why brought ye us from bondage,
Our loved Egyptian night?”
Take up the White Man’s burden—
Ye dare not stoop to less—
Nor call too loud on Freedom
To cloak your weariness;
By all ye cry or whisper,
By all ye leave or do,
The silent, sullen peoples
Shall weigh your Gods and you.
Take up the White Man’s burden—
Have done with childish days—
The lightly profferred laurel,
The easy, ungrudged praise.
Comes now, to search your manhood
Through all the thankless years,
Cold-edged with dear-bought wisdom,
The judgment of your peers!
- Rudyard Kipling 1899
NASA and the private space corporations need to hire more unqualified minorities.
Nothing could possibly go wrong in space.
I'd like an A.
When I worked with black folks I always made sure to ask them lots of questions about the specific subject matter (very politely of course, like I was seeking their input).
In less than five minutes I could tell whether they were an affirmative action faker or the real deal.
This will end well. People will love it when bridge fails, planes fall out of the sky, that sort of thing. Reality is a cruel b****, doesn’t care about all this intersectionality happy horse apples.
I assume decolonizing science means rejecting the scientific method and or the discoveries of whites. In other words removing science from science. This anti-racism mania is out of control and is only intensifying as white cowards surrender to hordes of melanin poisoned fanatics.
So STEM is racist and must somehow be “decolonized”. How do you do that? Maybe their can be separate decolonized set of products and services that have been produced with certified decolonized STEM employees. They probably won’t work right, but expecting things to work is just racist.
Talk about institutional racism....this calls into question any minority who has a STEM degree from this place. The ones who earned their degree will automatically be considered affirmative action cases.
I’m so old I remember when colleges were mostly run by smart people.

Great more stupid kids
Since you have "Decolonized" your STEM programs and are, by way of lenient grading, allowing substandard students to graduate with higerh marks than they deserve, we will no longer be accepting applications for employment or internships from your University.
Love,
Jet Propulsion Laboratories, N.A.S.A., and any other sensible employer of STEM graduates!
Thus, demonstrating the most wickedly evil racism of all, a liberal specialty, the racism of low expectations.
Bonus: Now every “person of color” from schools that do this will just be assumed to be inferior, thus reinforcing the vicious cycle. Another victory for liberals! I hope that they thoroughly enjoy congratulating each other for their moral superiority-and for ensuring that racism has a future far into the 21st Century!
For being so “smart” and bragging to be elite and smarter than all, “decolonise” is asinine on its face and makes no sense and actually hurts so many especially those non white.
Even if something does goo wrong, they can’t hear you scream!
