I am 100% positive, C6H2(NO2)3CH3 , (C2H4)n or NaOCl or C6H6N6(NO2)6 doesn’t care about race (baiting) in the least.
Not one molecule or nanoparticle takes cRt or DeI into consideration in it’s process.
No surprise. Rice recently relocated (aka disappeared) the remains of founder William Marsh Rice as he was stated to have had ties to slavery.
Have to visit Rice again, just to see if Valhalla, a grad student hangout and beer joint in the basement of the old Keck Hall is still in biz. Used to be cheap beer and lively conversation.
Does that mean that expecting correct answers to chemistry problems is racist as well?
Real life presents problems that must be solved and solved correctly, whether that is considered racist or not.
Here are a couple of examples of what happens if they’re not.
