I feel like this study should have been named "White Folks Be Crazy."

Why does Shark Week primarily focus on Great White Sharks? Is this also racism?

I could give a rats arse what color the people working with the sharks are on these shows. I’m watching to confirm my fears of something that could eat me while swimming in the water. Does anyone even know how many black marine biologists focusing on sharks exist? I assumed there weren’t that many scientists regardless of race. And the show features plenty of women.

Imagine saying that you couldn't aspire to be something because the people that do the thing you want to be don't look like you.

This has been the latest trend in the "we need to get rid of white people" game.

Why is it in this instance that it is ok to judge someone by their appearance?

White people account for an overwhelmingly disproportionate majority of shark attacks. In the name of Diversity, Inclusion & Equity, I demand we increase our number of minority shark attacks as a small step in our endless journey to repent for our country's sins of systemic racism:

But in the commercial there was a 500 lb black woman “surfing.”

Then again, perhaps that was...

Is she a minority? Tell her to get her minority arse in the water and make good grades and she can be whatever type of marine scientist she wants.

That’s too easy and ridiculous at the same time so I’ll just leave it at that.

The programming featured more White experts and commentators named “Mike” than women, said David Shiffman, a conservationist at Arizona State University who was a co-author of the study.
