To imagine that modern science is NOT tainted by the prejudice of white males requires extreme blinkered vision. The mere fact that an overabundance of modern scientists ARE white males means that questions which should be asked, aren't. To get the most progress in science you need as many perspectives as possible - including cultural ones - in order to combat selection bias. The most rigorous hard sciences are fairly immune to prejudice in research results - but nothing is immune to prejudice in selecting what GETS to be researched in the first place. 
In the field of medical research for example, until very recently, white males were the standard patient model. Nobody ever considered whether women's bodies may be different OUTSIDE of the sexual characteristics. A heart is a heart right?
Except it's not. Heart disease treatments for women are STILL less effective because nobody considered that their hearts may be different - and they were.
