No we're not. Quite frankly, given how many times already science and technology has failed to work for all kinds of people given the narrow view of the people that practice and create it, this kind of response is incredibly flippant.
Just to name a few:
* heart attack research failing to distinguish between different warning signs for males and females
* sensors failing to detect darker skin
* sensors at TSA being unable to scan the hair of black people because it's thicker
- externalreality 8y agoI agree with you but just one point - I didn't know African hair is thicker. Do you mean that African's tend to have more hair follicles on their head, or do you mean that the hairs themselves are thicker? I'm not sure if either is true. Do you have a reference.
- thereare5lights 8y agoNot sure if they mean their hair styles tend to be thicker or if their hair itself is thicker. https://www.propublica.org/article/tsa-not-discriminating-against-black-women-but-their-body-scanners-might-be https://www.propublica.org/article/tsa-not-discriminating-ag...
