Sometimes I think white astronomers are the most sensitive of all the sciences, they seem to have this idea that astronomy is apolitical and free from white supremacy but it's very much not
I mean I don't expect white astronomers to constantly be talking about the colonialism and white supremacy in astronomy but I feel like so many of them don't even realize it exists

#xambles #the problem is astronomy is even less racially diverse than general physics #astronomy #there's a reason so many other countries hate western astronomers #this is related to something off this site I'm not specifically calling out the astronomers on cohost or anything
