If the only time you think of me as a scientist is during Black History Month, then I must not be doing my job as a scientist.

One of the greatest features of science is that it doesn't matter where you were born, and it doesn't matter what the belief systems of your parents might have been: If you perform the same experiment that someone else did, at a different time and place, you'll get the same result.

If a scientist is not befuddled by what they're looking at, then they're not a research scientist.
