Original: ‘Even the Rat Was White’: This San Diego psychologist’s 1976 book on scientific racism reverberates today
Robert V. Guthrie, a San Diego-based psychologist, published 'Even the Rat Was White' in 1976, examining how racism shaped American psychology and the historical exclusion of Black scholars from the field. A San Diego Union-Tribune feature highlights how the book remains influential decades later, as debates over bias in science and the treatment of minority researchers continue.
Why now: Ongoing debates about racism and bias in science have renewed interest in Guthrie's classic critique of scientific racism.
