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.

Also, primacy is offensive to Decepticons.

“Professor Ian” may be brilliant at his trade, but he is clearly mentally ill ... at least he is emotionally unbalanced. There simply is no doubt.

Considering where he teaches the only way he could have something accepted at “Scientific America” is by this wokeness.

Well, with all the violence and destruction that they caused over the past year or so, I can hardly blame him for not wanting to promote in any way the cause of the white supremacists. Oh, wait... It was communist organizations who instigated and led all that. Sorry, I forgot.

".... The piece suggested the use of 'quantum primacy' instead...."More like quantum stupidity.
Seriously, are these professors real adults with college degrees in physics?
Because it sure seems like they are still immature juveniles in P.E. class in middle school.
I'm just sayin'....

St. Anselm College in Manchester, New Hampshire They aren’t going to compete in physics, so its better to compete in "Wokeness."

In related news, Wall Street traders will no longer be able to issue “buy” or “sell” orders, because that’s a reminder of the buying and selling of blacks into slavery. /s

My son-in-law is a physicist working in quantum stuff. All races are working on it. The "supremacy" is actually the fact that the Americans are "supreme" over the CCP. Skin color has NOTHING TO DO WITH IT.
Geez Louise.

The dingbat prof better start worrying about Chinese supremacy.
The Chinese secret—diversity is a weakness, not a strength.

On the hit list:... I think we should help push this along. We need to start telling every liberal that fractions are racist, because of the idea that blacks were "2/3rds" a person back in the day.
