Universities Fight Racism in the Redneck Realm of Nuclear Science – Opinion

Racism: As it turns out, it’s all around. The aberrant notion emerges even in places you might assume to be safe.

There are colleges all across the country that are trying to whack white wickedness.

In the middle of their pleading of prejudice: An assault on nuclear science’s nefariousness.

As relayed by The College Fix, a triumvirate of universities is attempting to right the field’s racial wrongs.

Princeton University is offering a class titled “Nuclear Princeton: An Indigenous Approach to Science and the Environment.”

Curiously, the Ivy League icon refers to a group which allegedly isn’t indigenous — historians believe American Indians arrived to the North American continent from Asia by way of the Bering Strait.

Still, since they didn’t exactly erect steel mills once they arrived, it isn’t difficult to imagine an association with environmentalism. They were also manipulating the atomic nuclei.

Either way — courtesy of the course’s official description — Princeton aims to conk colonialism:

[S]tudents will use perspectives from Indigenous studies to critically approach the intersection of Princeton’s history, nuclear science, settler colonialism, and environmental racism to collectively imagine a more holistic approach to studying science and the environment.

The school itself’s been shady, too.

“What lessons can we learn,” the webpage asks, “from the university’s past to conduct morally sound research and generate culturally inclusive knowledge?”

Meanwhile, George Washington University is injecting antiracism — an ideology, as defined by CNN, which demands no one be colorblind — at the cellular level. In November, it hosted the seminar “A Call for Antiracist Action in the U.S. Nuclear Community.”

It was announced:

Recently, nuclear scientists published an appeal for anti-racist actions in the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. The call urged researchers and colleagues to address a long history of injustices and racial disparities in the history of the nucleus.

It might seem that engineers who are interested in atom splitting might be better than those involved with something as stupid and racist. Evidently, that isn’t the case.

Presumably, that’s why the University of Michigan castigated the nuclear engineering arena in the summer of 2020. According to its proclamation

In military and classified programs, the foundations of nuclear engineering were made. They had a male-dominated, hierarchical and white worldview, which has remained constant. It became very closed-off, and was unable to welcome many talented people. To date, the nuclear sector has failed to create a culture where Black people can thrive and have an impact,” the department stated at the time.

And MIT researcher Katlyn Turner — who served on January’s “Overcoming the Ecological and Humanitarian Threats of the Nuclear Fuel Trajectory and Nuclear Weapons” panel — relayed the following in a previous interview:

“[Ecological]People of color and those in lower socioeconomic status tend to be affected by decisions. And yet those people are not given a seat at the table, so they can’t even help shape the conversation in most cases. … I think the story of the nuclear field is similar to the story of most of America. … The nuclear field developed during a time when racist and colonialist ideas were very normalized. … So when you have a system like the nuclear enterprise developing during the time where these sorts of ideas are prevalent, you’re going to get a nuclear field that is infused with those norms and as a result systematically erases or dismisses the contributions and concerns of people of color.”

Of course, racism’s been fingered in other fields as well.

The R-word has been mentioned in headlines for the last couple of years, including general science, technology and mathematics.

And in geological circles, they’re really trying to hammer it out.

Last June, a crew of scientists published “An Actionable Anti-Racism Plan for Geoscience Organizations.”

It was argued that those with darker skin would be prevented from entering geology due to their fear of holding mallets.

According to the experts, black people fear someone may call the cops — who will immediately murder them because they’re grasping a dangerous tool.

Back to Princeton, the institution’s trying to fix America’s ills in a myriad of ways:

Princeton Introduces a New Study Focus on ‘Race and Identity’

Seminary Student Refuses to Take Segregated ‘Antiracism’ Training Where He Can ‘Grapple’ With His ‘Whiteness’

Princeton Points Students to National Condom Day, Hosts Contraceptive Arts and Crafts

It’s unfortunate everyone is so racist. One can only imagine all the productivity that’s being prevented due to folks focusing on KKK-ish activities.

Our efforts to eliminate the illness will cause even greater productivity.

However, productivity may not be what nuclear science requires given current circumstances.
