A new opinion editorial published by the Scientific American, co-authored by physics professor Ian Durham of St. Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire, argued that the term "quantum supremacy" should be abandoned because it shares a word with the term "white supremacy."
Durham wrote that given the lack of diversity in physics and computing, the use of "'quantum supremacy' can come across as adding insult to injury."
The piece suggested the use of "quantum primacy" instead.

The term “black hole” is not only racist, but borderline obscene.
#7 those guys are not so smart. They could have rotated the chalkboard so they would not need ladders.... : )
I heard they had two black holes at the “Grammies”.

but, but, STEM students and teachers are only interested in facts and empirical truths...
Ian Durham is a clear case of “Stupidity Supremacy” newest member of the you like me now club.
More and more when reading the titles I have to check and make sure it isn’t the Bee.🙄

“Physics prof wants to ban the term ‘quantum supremacy.’ Can you guess why?”
Because quantums are racists????
It is my understanding that term “black hole” in Russian is an obscenity, so they call them “frozen stars” instead.
You Left one thing off the “hit list” - Prof. Durham, “Ahole”.
Next he’ll want the Disney movie “The Black Hole” changed to “The Hole Without Light” movie because not only is it “racist” in his mind, but it could be associated with Michelle Obama, Maxine Waters, Kameltoe Harris and/or Stacey Abrams, or all of them.
