Yes. The scientific method is white, as a way to interpret the world around us. Other cultures interpret the world from a more spiritual way, like for example, Chinese medicine doesn't involve drugs but rather keeping energies in balance. Other cultures might seek information by appointing some wise members of their community, and seek their opinions when making decisions. Rather than, creating experiments or aligning data.
How about when your mom needs a heart bypass you send her to your woke herb spiritualist and I'll send mine to a medical school trained surgeon, deal?
Not to hijack this thread but I wanted to address this:
Aegean and Egyptian societies had functional knowledge of poisons and medicines, probably from trial and error-type experiments. Egyptian papyrus scrolls written 1000-1500 years B.C. included significant knowledge of anatomy and medicine that could only have come from trial-and-error type experiments.
Ancient Greeks advanced mathematics significantly. They did not have the Scientific Method as we know it, but had concepts of what they called 'natural philosophy', which was the integration of science (as existing knowledge) with philosophy. Therefore, while they didn't have the experimentation piece, much of what they understood was established by deductive reasoning.
When Ancient Greece fell, and Rome fell, and Europe fell into the Dark Ages, much of the knowledge from Ancient Greece was adopted and perpetuated by Muslim scientists during the height of the Islamic Empire. This includes the foundation of the Scientific Method. Muslim scientists also made many contributions to mathematics, medicine and astronomy.
To be clear, it was Muslim scientists (see Al-Hazen) who structured the Scientific Method as we understand it today.
Once the Renaissance occurred and scientific endeavors were awakened in Europe again, the textbook Scientific Method was established, but it is not solely European and it is not "White".
In truth, the Scientific Method is not white, brown, black, Muslim, or Asian. It is a structured, step-by-step process of discovery through structured experiment, and is the evolution of a very natural process of questioning and testing, something that everyone does every day with menial tasks in every culture, we just don't realize it (and that was attributed to mammals in the quoted post).

Can you even be for real?
All the while having food in the refrigerator, a lawn to mow, likely a wonderful family, a temperature controlled living space, indoor plumbing, reliable electricity, clean water, and no immediate threats looking to kill you and rip all of that from your grasp. And a couple of dollars for a beer or a soda with friends.
This unprecedented time of human safety and abundance, for anyone willing to work for the next generation to do a little better, is so awful that I can't stand it.
Even our poor largely have apartments, televisions, food, and federal college loan availability to fund their way to "not poor".
But let's deconstruct all of it because ???
I can't identify a single real product of anyone else that would be a compelling argument for adopting different values.
We will see this more and more as those educated for their entire lives of the evilness of white culture start hitting the age where they are in charge and running things. We as a nation raised them, or allowed the schools to do it. We will now reap what we have sown.
Interesting you would put it that way, as presently the counter culture drugged out freaks for the 1960's, have infiltrated much of academia, and have been brainwashing our youth for a few decades now.
All one needs to do is look at what are roaming our streets these days, not knowing if a statue is of a great American hero or an evil Confederate Democrat.
And what is wrong with having 2.3 (gotta love the .3) children per family? I thought that was the responsible thing to do.

I assume you two already know this, but the .3 is the bare minimum needed to maintain a family tree. If two people who are a couple only have 2.0 kids, it is unsustainable.
The 2.3 has been determined necessary at bare minimum to maintain current population levels.
Not growing the population/culture mind you, just to maintain working age population to take over for those who retire into their golden years.
