Strange article. Why give Watson, who most people forgot about anyway, publicity in this way? Seems to me that this kind of articles fuels racism by introducing bigots to a great bigot they can look up to, more than it actually fights racism. The fact that it mixes emotions, ideology, and science in the same pot is also problematic.
Then comes the "Black scientists are" part. This is a ridiculous and dangerous construction. Again it fuels racism more than it fights it. What's special about black scientists? Nothing. If we don't see race. A better phrasing is to express culture/feeling/history "Black people are"
