For science to be socially transformative it must be anti-deficit, meaning it must oppose efforts aimed at correcting perceived deficiencies in individuals. Instead, asset-based approaches are needed that recognize and value cultural strengths instead of framing them as deficits to be masked. Such approaches foster inclusive and innovative research that better yields equitable solutions for populations burdened by structural racism.
为了使科学具有社会变革性，它必须反对缺陷论，也就是说，它必须反对旨在纠正人们所认为的个人缺陷的努力。相反，需要采取基于资产的方法，这种方法承认并重视文化优势，而不是将其框定为需要掩盖的缺陷。这样的方法促进包容性和创新性研究，从而更好地为受结构性种族主义困扰的人群产生公平的解决方案。
