OK, so the idea here is that if we have more smart, black, scientists on TV, then racist people will not be able to say that black people are dumb. Now, in light of women's lib, what do the large number of images, on the internet, of white, half-naked, women, tell us? ;)

I completely agree with the idea. Like Tyson said, when someone racist sees a black person after having seen a black scientist, they experience cognitive dissonance and have to reconcile two contradictory notions. And although you have half-trolled with the image provided, your definitely bringing up an equally important topic. Women are represented very poorly on the internet and in the media in general, and it does help reinforce the stereotypes. Side: Yup.
