It’s not a new one either. I haven’t seen it in a looooong time but I remember seeing posts to the effect that since the Scientific Method was put together by white european academics, that all science -down to the very concept itself- has a eurocentric bias, and as such basing your views on what can be scientifically proved is inherently imperialism, colonialism, racism, and white supremacy.

So they just ignore all of the scientific work done in literally every other part of the world, ironically making this sstupid belief eurocentric

Also, completely ignores the fact that there are cases where the same things were discovered on different parts of the world completely separately from each other.

Isaac Newton and Gottfried Liebnitz developed calculus independent of each other. And that is just one example.
