College cites 'scientific racism,' renames Linnaeus building

October 12, 2021

ST. PETER, Minn. — A private college in Minnesota has renamed its arboretum that honored an 18th-century Swedish botanist who has been criticized for classifying humans in a way now seen as racist, school officials said Tuesday.

The popular greenspace at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, located about 70 miles (110 kilometers) south of the Twin Cities, has been known as the "Linnaeus Arboretum" since 1988. It recognized Carl Linnaeus, who popularized a system of classifying living things and divided them into the animal, plant and mineral kingdoms.

Recently, though, Linnaeus has been criticized for his 18th century book "Systema Naturae," in which he classified four varieties of human, largely based on skin color and geography, which became the basis for scientific racism.

"Gustavus has historically sought to build an inclusive and just community," said Scott Anderson, chairman of the college's board of trustees. "In recent years, and especially since George Floyd's murder, we have strengthened our efforts to pay attention to underrepresented voices and discovered how painful Linnaeus' name and legacy are for some of our students and visitors."

What was it all for? The Scientific/Intellectual Revolution and the genius of these men that created the modern world, that's so sick and determined to undo their achievements. We should have just stuck to rape, pillage and plunder, and smashing anyone in the head who's different, vae victis. We'd be in a healthier situation.

the Samurai used to say there's 2 types of people in the world, The cavalry and those that wait for the cavalry to come. We choose our own path.

Nothing will happen. People are busy watching and discussing soccer (enough to look at this forum), NBA, netflix, playing computer games etc instead of caring about stuff that actually matter. Bread and circus are enough to keep the masses satisfied. Romans knew this 2000 years ago and it is still true today. Then we have the super wealthy like big tech who are pro status quo of course because they have it good.

Yes, it will happen. The Chinese will dominate the world and there's only whites to blame for that. The powers that be want whites in the west, perhaps in East Europe in the future too, to be godless, genderless, childless, depressed, anxious, afraid, fat, drug addicted, lonely, physically weak, mentally weak, in debt, isolated etc The opposite of China.

Ask yourself why China was the only major economy to report economic growth for 2020.
