Human-created science carries human biases and so does engineering and even math which is supposed to be pure and objective. James Burke presented this idea really well in episode 10 of The Day The Universe Changed. Biases sneak in when you decide what you're studying, how you're studying it, how you collect data, how you interpret the data, etc. The process itself might be unbiased, but that doesn't mean the application of that process is devoid of bias. Anyone remember the stanford prison experiment, the machine learning chatbot that 4chan turned to racism, or however many AIs people have designed that have looked at data and drawn racist conclusions? Are these things racist because racial stereotypes are objective immutable facts, or because the bots don't understand the context of those stereotypes? It's probably prudent to figure out the answer to that question before publishing. At least present a few hypotheses to explain the results.
