#1 People always talk about how racist math is. IMO, why they ignore how sexist it is?

#2 Teachers in the US must have it so tough. I mean real educationists, not recognition hungry idiots. And my wife complains about difficult parents too interested in their kid's progress, and incessant reports and activities they must organize.

#4 Ah, so THAT'S why there is such a high incarceration rate. They can't understand what "10 to 20" means.

#6 The only way you. can logically follow this line of reasoning is to accept the underlying assumption that people of color are less intelligent and therefore can’t as easily grasp non contextual data. In other words, they are limited to reasoning only in the context of their sub-culture. A damning admission if you accept the premise.

#7 Algebra was invented by Arabs so this is racist!

Also, STEM jobs are higher paying jobs so these idiots are pushing people of color away from good jobs. That's also racist!

#8 But the drug dealers are good at math, how else can they figure out the cost per weight and cash flow and all that?

#12 Algebra was invented by Arabs so this is racist!

According to a long and detailed Wikipedia post on the subject, neither the Arabs nor the Muslims invented algebra, which dates back to the Babylonians, but they did name it. So that’s something.

Add it to the long list of inventions and discoveries claimed by the Muslims — like the discovery of America — to which their connection came very late in the game.

#13 Aren't the Babylonians basically Arabs before Islam?
