In fact, the entire idea of "white male science" reminds me, I'm afraid, of "Jewish physics." Perhaps it is another inadequacy of mine, but when I read a scientific paper, I can't tell whether the author is white or is male. The same is true of discussion of work in class, the office, or somewhere else. I rather doubt that the non-white, non-male students, friends, and colleagues with whom I work would be much impressed with the doctrine that their thinking and understanding differ from "white male science" because of their "culture or gender and race." I suspect that "surprise" would not be quite the proper word for their reaction.
does your opinion get more important the more minority boxes you tick
on some issues, yes, of course. for example, i am going to hold a gay person's opinion on gay rights in far higher regard (and be a harsher critic of) than a straight person's. the straight person is coming from a position of privilege and will have nothing new to ever add to any discussion.
Relatively no longer exists cause Einstein figured out that shit and the only things we know about nuclear physics comes from Curie.
The idea - as I understand it - is not that 'white male science' is wrong, per se, but rather that it is irrevocably tarred by the sociological background from which it emerged.
I mean, it's still a stupid idea, but it's not quite that stupid.

whoa shit
fuck them allies, am i right teefs
i, again, never said the straight person's opinion is WITHOUT value, it just certainly has LESS value.

teefs you argue in extremes and absolutes and then it bites you in the ass and you're like 'whoa, i didn't mean that, i meant this more moderate view' and everyone's like ' '
People that aren't cis-gendered straight white males are not qualified to give relevant opinions on cis-gendered straight white males opinions of people that aren't cis-gendered straight white males because they are not cis-gendered straight white males.

i agree
Therefore Pirates of the Caribbean 2 is a notoriously racist movie as they took some of their design ideas from him.

except that I think that the idea of 'white male science' is maybe the dumbest thing that academia has ever spat out

I once tried to read some Lovecraft
