"I seem to hear repeatedly today that science is somehow disreputable because it is the province of European white bourgeois males (or something such). Mendel was such, he was even an Augustinian monk, but he got it right about the wrinkled peas; and it would not have mattered if he had been a black handicapped Spanish-speaking lesbian atheist." - Robin Fox, Rutgers
