Neil deGrasse Tyson - A Story About Race

submitted by Zifnab

1 decade 3 years 6 months 1 week ago

Neil talks about a time in college where a wrestling teammate made him uneasy about whether he was doing the right thing culturally by becoming an astrophysicist.

Second time sifting, this is part of a larger one and a half hour interview and was called as a dupe four months ago. We have since had the update to what is a dupe and as a result I am re-sifting this gem.

This video has been nominated as a duplicate of this video by chicchorea. If this nomination is seconded with *isdupe, the video will be killed and its votes transferred to the original.

This is one smart man and a credit to his race (The Human Race that is )

This is not a dupe according to the new dupe guidlines.>> ^chicchorea:

@lucky760 Please remove the dupeof invocation on this video, as it has wrongfully been applied.

I just read the title...I really hope he won that race.
