All those White women & men using #NDTMeetScienceTwitter ignore their #WhitePrivilege & used this as opportunity to let race go unexamined.
-
1/2 Black scientists have at least twice the emotional labour: mentoring Black junior scholars above their usual supervision workload...
2/2 ...And the emotional "#POC of colour tax" of having to educate White people on racism at the same time as dealing with racism in life.
-
-
1/2 Black men *should* give back; & they have relatively* less to deal with than Black women & femmes & other Black gender minorities.
-
2/2 *Relatively less meaning cisgender Black men to other Black people NOT White women: that's where this NDT tag has gone very wrong.
-
Black men have male privilege; but White women who think WW are most disadvantaged are deploying
#WhitePrivilege & thus contribute to racism -
Finally, I see some
#POC using the#NDTMeetScienceTwitter tag. Please stop modelling yourselves on White people's sci interests &#scicomm. -
You don't have to like NDT to see how
#NDTMeetScienceTwitter feeds#WhitePrivilege & anti-Blackness by sheer ignorace of what he said. -
English-speaking
#SciComm has many probs with equity & diversity; chiefly White scientists are only aware of, & care for, other White scis. -
Now you know more about
#WhitePrivilege & how it confers dominance whether you're consciously benefiting or not. What will you do about it? -
Thank you for sharing insights how
#BillMeetScienceTwitter &#NDTMeetScienceTwitter differ&how our actions help/hurt#POCsci
