If you work in IT, be careful you don't run into one of these black
"computer science" students:

https://courses.cs.duke.edu/fall21/compsci240/schedule.html

I don't see that this course was taught after 2021, but the woke and
diversity and inclusivity sickness is still rampant in academia.


For instance, make sure you practice inclusive database design, such
that your databases and tables don't have oppressive "Anglocentric"
characteristics that may harm people, such as:

* full name columns < 300 characters (so Ikponmwosa
Kamiolakamioluwalamibe from Nigeria won't feel slighted)

* first, middle, last name columns < 100 characters each

* sex constraints of only (M,F), 'cause "sex isn't binary"

* mother and father columns (should be parent1 and parent2)


This sickness is actually taught at Duke University. They call it
"ethical design".

I just looked at the first link. Absolutely none of what they put into
Computer Science has to do with either a computer or science.
