I like how you are noting the major white supremacy culture characteristic: sense of urgency. I noticed it was the biggest theme that other students pointed out as well from the reading, and it makes me wonder what other white supremacy culture characteristics are also included from the reading. When you stated that the scientists are under extreme stress and exhaustion, it made me think whether the "quantity over quality" characteristic would apply too. We don't necessarily know how much better the physicists at the time can work on the atomic bomb, but it definitely allows them to be less stressed and under pressure. However, I'm not sure if working on a bomb is something that isn't stressful to scientists.
