Just for transparency, what did Tate say or publish about racial inequality in Math?

My vote is for the weather guy, but I'd like to see what Tate said.

Inequity, non inequality.

And there are a lot of themes in his research, which is all essentially race-based. One of the ones that is particularly troublesome is his theory that performance in math is correlated to geography and if we force integrate neighborhoods, one method of which would be expansion of public housing in affluent areas (e.g. Section 8), the black kids will become better at math.

His entire career is based on the idea that we need to provide extra advantages to minorities in every facet of life for them to succeed in STEM. He focuses a lot of that on just mathematics too. It is affirmative action of steroids. It is essentially reparations in the form of giving minorities more advantages than white students.

It is pure racism to me.
