Race and Racism Redux

By gregladen on March 11, 2008.

I had a plan, to get on board with Sciencwoman, who is putting out a series of posts on Racial Diversity, Race and Racism, with a post on this topic. However, Friday was a tough day, Saturday was a no-blogger (because of something else I was doing that I'll tell you about later), I don't remember a thing about Sunday, I had a late meeting Monday, and I'm teaching tonight. So I have not had time to spend the effort this post needed. (Aren't you glad I don't usually write blog posts telling you what I had for breakfast and why I blogged more or less on a given day?)

But I still want to get on board and help make this a topic of broader interest right now, so I've assembled a bunch of related links.

To start with, here are Sciencewoman's posts:

Why are my students so white?

Race, ethnicity, diversity - the saga continues
On Monday, I posted two parts to my ethnic story as a white person in the US, and they prompted a variety of comments. Rather than respond in the comments, I thought I'd write another post. First, I want to thank the people who took up the challenge to write their own stories. DH, grad student,…
Parsing the Reactions to the Watson Imbroglio
The latest Watson news is that Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory has "suspended [his] administrative responsibilities...pending further deliberation by the board." Watson, meanwhile, has begun the "Did I say that? No! I didn't mean it!" apologia that usually follows when some noted figure catches…
Will the ID cranks ever tire of the appeal to consequences?
Short answer, no. The latest is Dembski laughing with glee at the latest bigoted ramblings of James Watson who apparently has gone and said Africans are stupid and that's why Africa suffers. This is not the first, or last time that Watson will say something dumb, offensive, and backwards. Like…
Watson to Africa: You're All Dumb
Spitting on Rosalind Franklin's grave is apparently not satisfying enough for Jim Watson. When you are a largemouth ass, you have to do much, much more. So now he's maligned all of Africa and everyone of African descent. Here's a quote: he was "inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa"…
