Eh, not the best example. I would certainly expect a doctor to know that some things are genes. And siblings you know, share genetrics. He just fucked up the statistics of something within his field of expertise. This was his lane and he rear ended this lady.

But the irony of having this topic broached on /r/philosophy of all places. Do you know how how often people here pretend they're experts on anything scientific? As soon as science enters the discussion, this place goes to pot.

This is clearly related to the concept of epistemic justice, which, while many black and feminist scholars have talked about this since at least the 60’s, picked up steam when Miranda Fricker’s book, Epistemic Injustice, came out in 2007. Following Fricker, Jose Medina has also done some incredible work.

What I am saying is this conversation has been important for scholars for decades, and just because you didn’t know that doesn’t mean it hasn’t been happening.

No, nothing about that is clear. Your obsession is showing. Not everything revolves around your personal pet topic of interest.
