re: Racism in our curriculums isn’t limited to history. It’s in math, too.

quote:

---

The Greek scholar Euclid (300 B.C.) gets his name attached to an algorithm, while a Chinese scholar’s identity is erased, his work reduced to his nationality. This dichotomy reveals the racial assumptions hidden in seemingly apolitical subjects and how the biases of the past are embedded in the present.

Oh for fricks sake, like that black kid in inner city Chicago getting shot at every night gives a frick who the guy was that created an algorithm. Whether he's Greek or Chineese isn't going to save his life or make a difference in his education. If he's made it that far, someone not woke probably saved his arse, and he's probably called dad.
