Doesn’t matter to me whether they’re accepted or not. But the truth of the matter is, the movement has always been a political movement. A racist political movement at that.

I’d like to disagree with you. But to everything man has created from hunting parties to governments, sports, science , military etc we bring our flaws. Distrust or even hatred based on being different, particularly if the difference is visible like race is one of the worst flaws and it finds its way into science as surely as water flows down hill.
But I’d argue that is a flaw of man. not particularly of science, and that science has more checks and balances against racism than most other human endeavors.
You could even argue today that science has gone too far on race for political correctness reasons - we don’t want to acknowledge that different groups may have different abilities - any test that shows that is declared flawed or even racist.
So I disagree that developmental biology (a term I use since “darwinism is long outdated) is racist - while agreeing that it certainly can and has been used that way.
