Is Homework Racist?

In this week’s episode of The Glenn Show, I sat down with physicist Sylvester “Jim” Gates to talk about diversity in the sciences. In this clip from the end of our conversation, I ask him what he thinks about the DEI industry and cancelation. Short answer: He’s a fan of neither.

It's only racist if you actually do it.

I used the word white supremacy, not racist. Racism is a competitive relationship between groups for ownership and control of resources for wealth and power - not about getting along. Racism is prejudice is power. Blacks aren't in the position of being racists, having only owning less than 2% of this country's wealth which hasn't changed since the eve of the American Civil War. Europeans got the affirmative action and headstart programs through billions of acres of free indigenous land (genocide), Black chattel slavery, colonization, and structural racism. Europeans created the the social construct of race and the racial hierarchy in this world. For example, the Vietnamese will not sun bathe at China Beach for fear of getting dark per my guide.
