@athousandyoung saidI don't think that's entirely true, but I get the debt we owe to Arabic numerals, etc.
If math education were white we’d be using Roman numerals.
Thank you for bringing up stuff from 1500 years ago, your comment was very relevant.

@booger saidNo they remain pampered outside of school because they don’t need skills and the skills taught in school aren’t practical anyway
Saying math is racist is a way of avoiding the fact that some people suck at math.
Instead of calling them dumb or less than...
They blame math.
The ironic part is people who are pampered to in school will most certainly fail in life because they haven't been taught valuable knowledge.

@jj-adams saidWhy is this the decade of our lives where all these aberrants, some on this forum, decide to change every aspect of our lives? And note that every one of the their movements is to get in the face of stable Americans, to change the way they will be required to regard things, to view and look at things. We have to discern as we are approached by an individual 'what' they are. Really. are you sniveling libs so insecure as to have to enjoin everyone else around you? Can you just practice your new 'religions' without bothering regular folks, regular folks borne of 250 years of traditionalism?
Seriously?
God help us.:

@athousandyoung saidOnce again, you inject racism into a thread for no reason, while proclaiming how bad racism is.
Indian numerals
Asians score higher than whites in math even today

@booger saidI can't tell you the last time I solved a quadratic or integrated something over three dimensions.
Math isn't practical?
I also can't tell you exactly how the "debit" and "credit" system works in accounting. See THAT math would be useful but they don't teach it in school.
@athousandyoung saidCanada teaches business math and the like/Functional math you need for life.

It's called Basic Math.
No joke. It's called Basic Math.

@athousandyoung saidThank you, so do we all.
I didn't proclaim how bad racism is. I think the assistant mathematics professor in the OP is a nut.
But you injected a couple of things that didn't need to be, especially if you agree that the guy is an SJW doosh.
Why do you have to be so contrary about everything?
