"NSF is being asked to make science racist again - which contradicts evidence that shows that diversity of ideas is good for science and good for innovation. We are missing things when only white males do science," said one program officer.
That statement seems to suggest something that was correctly left unsaid. So which is it?
- Why is it assumed that only white males will submit proposals?
or..
- What makes it a foregone conclusion that white males do better science?
or..
- Other? (no ambiguous bullshit, be specific)
BTW: I do not agree with any of these ideas. I find them to be very disrespectful and I would say technically racist .
