Science was based on western principles that were heavily rooted in racism and prejudice. The internet is contaminated with ignorance and foolery so I disagree with you.

People might very easily misinterpret that as you flat out calling science racist.

But there are certain aspects about Science that is racist especially old science that did not have a lot of research on diversity and multiculturalism.

Those anthropological terms such as Caucasoid and Negroid were created in the field of anthropology.

The study of human evolution.

And differences between cultures, biologically and culturally.

And how diverse the human race is.

And to see what those differences and similarities are.

The term was not racist for the time, but anything related to the word negro has gained the capacity to be used as a slur because times have changed. It sounds racist to you because of cultural norms that have stigmatized words relating to racial slurs, regardless of their original use and intent.

So please stop bashing science.

Nice response

But regardless the technical terminology of the word, I still believe science is discriminatory against minorities. I study a social science so I know this.

Also, I am not interpreting the word as "racist"

I have seen it used a racial slur.
