Systemic racism in science: Reactions matter

Massive amounts of data and countless analyses collected across decades of scholarly research demonstrate unequivocally that bias and inequity based on race (in other words, racism) have occurred and still occur throughout society in the United States (the same can be said for many other nations). American higher education is one of the places where racism has been, and still is, well documented again and again and again. Not unexpectedly, six of the nine justices on the US Supreme Court recently chose to disregard these facts and argue for a "race neutral" approach in college admissions.
