>A citation can’t somehow “prove” a moral statement. A moral statement doesn't prove itself. Someone has to prove it, either by providing an argument themselves, which the poster didn't do, or citing an external source of proof. >ethnicity/gender/etc. should not affect one’s opportunities in science, and then claiming that there is still work to be done in achieving that goal. That claim still requires a supporting argument: evidence to support that ethnicity/gender/etc. is affecting peoples' opportunities in science.
