True scientists understand it’s never proof, always evidence. Mathematics has proofs. Science has theories and laws that are subject to change with new evidence. Technically, all science would be ‘soft’ by the standard of those critics.
Modern medicine is just as riddled with racism.

There’s bigotry present in many sciences. Anthropology, biology, even computer science.

Don’t forget sexism! Ask the nearest woman how many times she’s been told her pains were fake or period related.
My sister got told her fucking knee pain was period related. Fucking knee pain. And the doctor was a woman
Incredible.🙄 That’s true. People forget that all research is compounded, and white men ran the show for centuries.
