    I’d bet most people can probably think of three words for superior. If you’re in the same field that shares some unfortunate history with eugenics then it’s definitely better to be a little more intentional with specifically words like that. I’m just surprised that’s still vernacular in genetics research still is all I’m saying.

      At first I wasn’t convinced but your right. They should be more sensitive to the history of it than anyone else being it’s their field.

        Right? Not to mention more out spoken white supremacy these days and all the misquoting and misinformation that emboldens it.
