Profs claim scientific objectivity reinforces 'whiteness'
Campus Reform ^ | March 19, 2018 | Nikita Vladimirov

Posted on 03/20/2018 6:27:05 AM PDT by C19fan

A newly published academic journal article argues that science educators must do more to combat “whiteness” and “White ideology” in the classroom.

In their research essay titled “Towards a truer multicultural science education: how whiteness impacts science education,” University of Colorado at Denver scholars Cheryl E. Matias and Paul T. Le seek to “have the field consider the theoretical frames of whiteness and how it might influence how we engage in science education such that our hope for diversity never fully materializes.”

You’d think a science prof would take “whiteness”, put it thru a prism, and see its constituent colors.

Science doesn’t care about privilege or whiteness. It cares about math.
But then, these idiots have been having issues with math being too white or too Asian, haven’t they?

theoretical frames of whiteness

So they just get to make it up.

I suggest they study, "inventive, innovative and productive frames of whiteness".

Diversity (especially Muslims) explains why Nobel Prize for chemistry, medicine, and physics are distributed in the manner they have been for last 100 plus years.

There is a TON of white privilege sitting on the moon. Why don’t you run up there and fetch it.

“"For many scientists, we are convinced that objectivity prevents an oppressive culture because discoveries are independent of identity,” they observe. “Consequently, we unknowingly spread whiteness ideology.”"

After the initial "wth is this gobbledygook" reaction, I believe they're saying:
"Because the scientific method does not consider the individuals race, it is therefore racist.

Diversity doesn’t lift up certain groups of people. Seems it makes liberal white idiots believe we need to dumb ourselves down so they won’t feel so guilty.

our science is out of touch with the experiences of our students of Color and, instead, represent post-colonial discourses of White power and control over people of Color

there was a Jewish way of doing science, which involved spinning webs of abstract theory that lacked any roots in the firm and fertile soil of experimental work. The Jews, he said, turn debates about objective questions into personal disputes.

So Whites can be objective in science, and non-Whites can’t. That’s what it says.

GRAVITY reinforces WHITENESS! Non-whites should either not be subjected to gravity or should be compensated.

East and Southeast Asians get no compensation; Whites & Asians are same-same and benefit from their whiteness.

It sounds like these two pixies think that education and knowledge are a “white” thing that is too difficult for minorities to grasp. Hmmm. Who are the real “racists” here.

Affirmative action with other preferred groups, and the demise of the white, Christian, heterosexual male.

The Chinese must be laughing their asses of.

And, is anyone looking into Chinese students attending school here as money-laundering operations for Chinese government funds going to politically disruptive causes here?

Is not it self-evident that if Putin was trying it the Chinese would most certainly be doing so as well, and with their huge 5th column of students here (the largest contingent of foreign students in the U.S.) would they maybe not see the need to “hack into” American systems to do it - they have their own “social media Army” already here.
