Those are about racist and insular cultures that exist in STEM fields.

Has it ever occurred to you that the n-word was the excuse for banning an anti-racism book?
That maybe it is an ur example of racists trying to use false equivalence to jerk around the system?
Too bad it's black activist and progressive ideologues pushing it.

those movements also include the rejection of "western" philosophies especially when it comes to science and the scientific method.

Are you at least familiar with what radicalism is?

I don't know what this means.
I presuppose that he's talking about the aunt Jemima bottles.
God that is fucking weak.
Also, the 10th? 20th? Instance of false equivalence.
Is that the only arrow in the quiver with these guys?
Just, "What about X!?"
How is it a false equivalency? I plead guilty to whataboutism , but it seems only a false equivalency if you have different standards for different sensitivities.

Not so. Look for the "science must fall" video on YouTube. Or look at the Wikipedia entry for Decolonization of Knowledge: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decolonization_of_knowledge

Always great when the article linked to has a "This article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject." disclaimer right at the top.

And I don't know what to tell you, but decolonization of of epistemology is also about getting rid of racist and insular cultures that exist in STEM.

You can tell by the word "De-Colonization".

From the section on "Theoretical Perspective" (Emphasis added to certain key words)
The concerns of decolonisation of knowledge are that the western knowledge system has become a norm for global knowledge and its methodologies are considered to be the only form of true knowledge. This hegemonic approach towards other knowledge systems has resulted in reduction of epistemic diversity and constituted the center of knowledge which eventually suppressed all other forms of knowledge.

Isn't it more efficient to just assume that we're all sjws that want to put a 3rd and 4th bathroom in every small business in America?

You know, I live in Arlington and if there is one complaint I have about going around DC (before the apocalypse) was a general lack of public bathrooms.
From where I am from in Florida they are everywhere, and businesses are required by law to let anyone use the bathroom (none of that "paying customers only" horseshit). I didn't have to worry about finding somewhere to piss.
I wonder how winning an issue that topic would be in an election?

"I offer you all a pot to piss in!"
