New forms of 'racism' arise in science research

Some people have massive, powerful shoulders. And they need them. To carry that chip on their shoulder for so long.

Whether their personal chip is racism, sexism, or any other -ism, their chip is the real problem. So, how do we stop them foisting their chips onto the rest of civilised society?

Focus on how they got the chip on their shoulder and then make sure it doesn't happen to anyone without one.

Sounds far too simplistic. Some people are born arseholes, some blame the world for their bad lot in life, others still take pleasure in causing problems and generally trolling. Finally a small honest few may derive their chip from personal experience, the most honest experience. I agree we should review what happened in their respective situations, and work to avoid that in the future. But the rest? Not worth the attention they so desperately seek.
