When I talk about "racist bridges", I'm talking about the well known case of Robert Moses. Most people who have studied the ethics of engineering should be familiar with him.
- brodouevencode 4y agoCorrect, but not everyone knows this case. So to put an even finer point to it - context matters a helluva lot.
- dragontamer 4y agoFair. Its a bit of a controversial topic, and I expect that historians will continue to revisit the issue of Robert Moses as the decades go on.
