This isn't new or American, it's just yt in general

  • Shibasaburo was denied naming rights for the bubonic plague (which he discovered first) and also denied a Nobel prize for curing diphtheria
  • Bose also faced enormous racism (I haven't read much about him)
  • Kikunae Ikeda discovered and characterized the Umami taste and its responsible Glutamate component back in 1907. It took over 100 years for that to even become vaguely known in the west, and mayos still bitch about the word "umami"
  • entire genuses native to China or India, and known since 3000 BC as medicine there, are named *Xylospongium ursabackenphylloxiphodae" with a common name of "Smith's dildo" because John Smith "discovered" the dildo in the year 1927. Alternatively, you'll have common names like "long apple" vs. "short apple" vs. "China apple" vs. "Himalayan apple", even though actual, much older Indigenous names exist
  • Wikipedia and literal renaming of landmarks, IE: Ram Setu. Imagine unironically calling the Eiffel Tower "Shiva's tower", this is literally what mayos do right now

Also half of the "American" researchers are Chinese or Indian or elsewhere from the Global South
