This is what we’re up against.
Also, all authors are women.
My takeaway is that, despite billions of dollars being thrown at the issue, they’re mad about POCs performing poorly in math and know that it’s not going to change. Therefore, they want to shift the focus from the shortcomings of minorities to ‘minorities are the victim’.

Mathematics fields in the United States (US) were developed to preserve the elite status of White, upper-middle–class men (Castro, 2014; Leyva, 2017; McGee, 2016). Mainstream mathematics education plays a central role in this preservation and, consequently, in the marginalization of people of color (Battey & Leyva, 2016). Consistent racial ordering of mathematical achievement reifies a racialized hierarchy of mathematical ability, maintaining this status and effectively marginalizing Black, Indigenous, and Latinx students. We see this appear in White-normed measures such as the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) and college readiness exams (e.g., SAT) with little to no change across decades of school reform efforts. This hierarchy squarely places Black, Latinx, and Indigenous students on the bottom, and White and Asian students at the top (Deyhle & Swisher, 1997;

How do they explain the fact that Asian people of color are better at math than white people of color?
Or they just ignore that to fit their "we are racists against white people narrative"?

I want to know how they would explain how an airplane stays in the air, a suspension bridge stays intact, or a smartphone works without using math.

This country is finished. It cannot be pulled out of the Bolshevist muck at this point.
Let it collapse, and we shall rebuild from its ashes. We were made for a time such as this.

I blame this on the white men who invented household appliances freeing women to become bored.

It's social marxism. They think unequal outcomes are bad and therefore if there are any groups that are disproportionately faring poorly in any part of life, it must be due to some sort of oppressive measures put in place that need to be torn down.
Math isn't racist; these women are.

Wasn’t math kinda developed by the Egyptians? I mean white people weren’t around when math was invented.
