So your assertion is that racism was not common in, for example, the US? Or that, as a separate example, all Nazi scientists documented poorly?
There is a very strange modern trend, where if someone is racist, or a murderer, or some other horrid thing, that be interference everything they did was wrong, and incorrect, and has zero value.
The assessment of a person(eg racist) is a valid act and required, but this does not invalidate any positives. It merely means that said person is a racist, and that action/punishment on that front should occur.
Pretending otherwise is a lie, and true scientific fallacy.
- cyphar 4y agoProbably not a good idea to do a whataboutism when we're talking about the actual Nazis. I don't have anything more to say on the topic -- you're completely ignoring the fact that the data that we got from the one Nazi experiment that was once thought to be useful is bad data, partially because of bad experiment design (including not caring whether their "test subjects" died due to mistreatment) and partially due to outright fabrications. If you disagree with the conclusion of the peer-reviewed report I linked (as opposed to having a general issue with the fact that it turns out that the Nazis were shit scientists -- something I can't sympathise with sadly) you can write it up as a paper and get it published in a peer reviewed journal.
