Do you find being called "black" offensive?

ONCE again, you don't have to learn this in a classroom setting BUT sometimes it does help to get some type of exposure to these issues.

Wh...What? Do you learn about concepts taught in psychology classes in a history course? Or the same things taught in a criminology course as a sociology course? What about linguistics and economics? Yet all of these things are social sciences.

Social science is an umbrella term, don't push a study into the rain just because it's not identical to the ones that you're the most familiar with.

I'm still wondering why you brought it up as a way to prove that science is racist though. Before you say "oh I didn't say that", you did not directly say this but rather implied it quite strongly (implying something is saying it without bluntly stating it).
