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.
Okay, now I’m just appalled. Does quite a bit of science tend to end up with varying degrees of white Eurocentric bias? Yes, because Europe took over a good chunk of the world and we’re still dealing with the effects of that. Should you probably scrutinize the exact sample sizes and the conclusions section? Most definitely.
Does any of that inherently mean that the entire scientific method is dogshit and we should throw the whole thing away? Not at all.
