A quick look around has less than 3% of physics represented by black Americans. Glance at mathematicians and we get around 100:1—pretty lean. The probability of such under representation in the heart of STEM without a racism component are damn low. Yes, to be woke today is to mostly trade in feel-good and dogma, yet there's something there. Society needs more ideas, especially the dangerous and innovative. More sincere music, better sound and better parties. And more science and the prerequisite skepticism anti authoritarianism that go along with it.
