I always suspected algebra was racist, and this report confirms my suspicion.

Burn algebra to the ground, baby!

“I hearded grass.” and that is all that needs to be said about the mentality.

As I said before...time to give them some land and no cash..let them live in the jungle by jungle law.

"Math has traditionally been seen as the domain of old, White men"

Spoken like the racist trash that make up the leftist self-styled "Culturally Responsive Teaching Teach For America."

Asian countries don’t have the anchor of 60 million Blacks and Mexicans.

[gorush]

Forget the “war on Women”, this is the “War on Logic”.

[Rides_A_Red_Horse]

Right. If the premise is true then why do we hire so many mathemeticians from India and China?

If I’m not mistaken, much of our modern day “math” came from the Greeks.

Math is ‘the domain of old, white men’

So?

What is the domain of professional basketball?

Hmmmmm.....the domain of old, white men, you say? Well, why then do so many Chinese and Asian Indians excel at it? Ever look into an engineering program at the college and masters programs level? I need an interpreter to understand what the students are asking. Just sayin’.

[sagar]

The irony is that the white kids are also pretty dumb when it comes to math, scuence, and engineering. Those fields are asian now.

Like, you know Dude, math is HARD!

And millenials don't like us making fun of them....

[sagar]

Just zero, numerals and al jabr.

[HandyDandy]

Yes, the concept of “zero” was originally Arabic. I think the word itself is Arabic. That is why it was ironic to me that the site of the World Trade Center came to be called “Ground Zero”. Just my opinion.

[samtheman]

the premise that 2 + 2 = 4 is “naive.”

George Orwell was possibly the greatest visionary who ever lived. He predicted this in 1984 (as he predicted so much else about the insanity that is liberalism) when Winston Smith was taught to "see" that if the party says 2+2=5, then indeed, 2+2=5. After the appropriate amount of torture, Winston Smith actually "saw" 5 fingers when his "teacher" held up 2 on each hand.

0 comes via the Arab world from India.
