"Belief" that there's something wrong with the fact that you might spend your entire career in academia and never see a Black mathematics professor who was born and educated in the US.

It's a very radical concept for many people, including Scott Adams.

that's just basic human decency, no? are we now to respect someone who believes it's completely normal not to see any black professors in a country that's 15% balck?

Yes, it's decent human decency.

And yet, most commentors here would want you to respect such a person.

You should update your assumptions. This is the current composition of the Ivy League: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30339041

You can take a guess how good your chances of passing the diversity filter are, if your main contribution is trying to reduce the discrimination against non-Jewish whites, by which they are 12-times less likely to be admitted to the Ivy League than their Jewish counterparts.
