Asking a White male personality for attention & recognition is very different than demanding professional Black male scientist for the same

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 this thread. This whole situation also highlighted the need for our system to better distribute responsibilities of
#scicomm. -
Instead of demanding that one science figure, esp a POC professional scientist, do all the
#scicomm, we need to cultivate an environment... -
...that better enables all minority groups to access the same kind of opportunities. Journalists also need to do their part in promoting...
-
...this change & actively seek out other science experts to better distribute the public
#scicomm responsibility.

Thanks for your insightful threads today. I will continue trying to learn and get better - reminders like this help hugely to keep on track.

one resource I keep coming back to is the book "What it means to be white" (anti-racist explainer of race issues for a white audience)
-
such resources leave no excuse for white folks to ask explanations of racism from POC - though when given freely, these insights are valued

Back in grad school, I was told "we're not here for that" - hearing about my experience as woc. 1/2

I'm very sorry this happened to you! It's all to common and unacceptable to think gender equity can happen without racial equality.
