This sounds fishy researchers at University of California, Davis have turned to fish for their racism studies.

Published online in late July, the study argues that calling some fish “rough” or “trash” is a racist term that comes from “white males’” dominance of freshwater fisheries in North America for the past three centuries, according to Campus Reform.

Four of the researchers — two from UC California, Davis, one from University of Oklahoma and one from University of Wisconsin-Madison — are paid, six-figure professors at their respective public universities. These four professors received $583,652 in collective annual salaries. Here is how it breaks down: UC Davis paid the two professors a combined $311,123 in wages (FY2019). The Oklahoma and Wisconsin professors were paid a collective $272,529 (FY2020). All pay records are publicly posted online at OpenTheBooks.com and are the latest year available.
