There is a long history of flawed research that claims white people are more intelligent, etc.
We knew this over 40 years ago to my knowledge. Why are they still getting away with it?

‘Exhausted and insulted’: how harsh visa-application policies are hobbling global research

Institutions and individuals from low- and middle-income countries are wasting time, effort and money trying to get visas for research travel, only to be rejected. A new approach is needed.

#JuelTaylor’s #TheyClonedTyrone (Netflix 2023) is a #ScienceFiction movie good enough to call a #FutureClassic.
#JohnBoyega is grim & touching in the lead. #JamieFoxx is sharp & funny af. And #TeyonahParris’s Yo-Yo both fulfills & deconstructs the burden placed on Black women to save the world. All that, and #KieferSutherland is a wonderfully menacing villain!

Countless analyses collected across decades demonstrate unequivocally that bias and inequity based on race (i.e., racism) have occurred and still occur throughout the United States. Racism has been, and still is, well documented again and again and again in American higher ed. Six of the nine justices on the US Supreme Court chose to disregard these facts & argue for a “race neutral” approach in college admissions.
