I'd say this is at least a hint:

>>> this peer reviewed published research from Stanford University establishes the fact that racism and bias are alive and well in the STEM fields:

I have rather lengthy counterpoint to this "research".  Ditto the claim that proper
ordinarily use of English is prima facie evidence of "White Supremacy".  Ditto
the claim that any reference to age is inherently bigoted and cannot be taken
in good spirit.  But ... I don't think this is the place you'd like to see
my disquisitions on the matter.*

My larger point holds:  You cannot allow one worldview in and then expect
other worldviews to keeps still  ... and that's true irrespective of WHICH
worldview first got in the door.

to disagree.
