There was like zero substance to that article. If they were trying to effectively convince someone how a school subject can somehow be racist, they did a terrible job.

Nonetheless, Math is not racist. That is impossible. Maybe there are some racist mathematicians out there, idk maybe there are some racist college professors out there. Those individuals do not make the entire subject racist

That link in the OP really ticks me off. So let's start calling things as they really are.

When Blacks fail, rewrite History like the 1619 project
When Blacks fail, get rid of Math
When Blacks fail, get rid of the SAT
When Blacks fail, reimagine entertainment
When Blacks fail, pretend cultural values don't exist
When Blacks fail, give them affirmative action
When Blacks fail, force companies to hire them with quotas
When Blacks fail, reconstruct the narrative
When Blacks fail, blame it on Whitey
When Blacks fail, don't punish them for bad behavior
When Blacks fail, don't hold them accountable for anything
When Blacks fail, make Whitey subsidize them
When Blacks fail, ignore the truth and blame racism
When Blacks fail, it's cause Science too is racist
When Blacks fail, simply lower the standards
When Blacks fail, get rid of ALL standards
When Blacks fail, defund the police
When Blacks fail, let them riot, loot, and destroy
When Blacks fail, browbeat Whites into taking diversity training
When Blacks fail, ....ad infinitum

then they could probably argue everything in the world is racist by some bullshite logic.

They kind of do argue that. They also say using logic and critical thinking is racist and privileged. Probably so you can’t criticize them.

So now is it racist to say your company is in the black with its finances?

I agree. I did shitty in math. Hated my math teacher(s). They were all bad people.Evil. So I'm with the SJWs on this. Horrible terrible math teachers. All of them are racist too. Even the black ones.


So ridiculous....but it explains my shitty grades

Math has to be the least racist subject. So many cultures contributed to what we know

There seems to be a common denominator here. Perhaps that is where the real issue lies

The Mathematical Association of America (MAA) recently asserted that math “inherently carries human biases” in a recent statement from its “Committee on Minority Participation in Mathematics.”


How does that equate to “math is racist”? It doesn’t mention race bias. Just a human bias. Is it because a minority committee released the statement?
