Studying bio in college, not one professor ever had to start a lecture “now I’m not racist but…”. cause they weren’t being. A few explicitly cautioned about Hume’s guillotine, that we cannot determine what ought to be based solely on the study of what is, especially with what we were studying.
And these were 70 year olds at a relatively conservative college as far as colleges go. Not exactly leftist icons, just people who knew enough about the subject and its history to know it’s frequently used to justify illogical and ascientific shit. But maybe that’s just my skull bumps speaking 🤷♂️
