The Mathematical Association of America released a statement Friday claiming both that mathematicians should engage in “uncomfortable conversations” about race, and that policies of from the Trump administration, like the lack of a mask mandate in the United States, are somehow an affront to mathematics. The group concludes with a call for a “pursuit of justice” within math.

Babylon Bee?

I wish.

[yoe]

Oh for the Lord’s sake....is talking out one side of your mouth and then the other racist?

[SunkenCiv]

Dox 'em, break their tenure, fire and blackball the members of this "association".

[zeugma]

LOL — can’t wait to hear the initial proposals, and of course the reasoning.

Sorry buddy. Reason is racist, as is logic.

[Vendome]

We know math is rascist.

That’s why you never hear about any of the great architectural achievements in Africa

Stupid article

[zeugma]

I guess math is racist because it is too hard for most Blacks, is that right?

Right. It would seem to be similar to the idea that blacks are just too damned stupid to be capable of obtaining an I.D.

I mean really? Who the hell really thinks that? Liberals. And I am the racist?

[MuttTheHoople]

Isn’t this like the Babylon Bee or the Onion?

2 + 2 = 5. According to Fr. Spadaro, Vatican theologian.

Now you know why Aliens won’t talk to us...

[SuperLuminal]

Million-Man-March math forever...

[Phil DiBasquette]

This comment doesn’t add up

But

What do we call ebonicly infused math?

Slide Ja Rule?
Afrhomboids?
Pecan Pi?

Someone told me, Algebro

>> Reality is racist

Haven’t said this in a while... existence is intrinsically evil — our ability to survive and live peacefully is an extremely delicate matter. And virtually every aspect of our surroundings puts our well being at risk — including the behavior of others. Peace is the anomaly.

Don’t know about you, but I’ve grown to believe that Christ represents/is the divine lifeline for humanity. Otherwise, absolute suffering is imminent.

There’s nothing about the BLM agenda that’s peaceful — to the contrary, it’s divisive, irrational, destructive, invasive, parasitic. And it has nothing to do with the well being of Blacks — it’s about national destruction — just another aspect of existence working against Peace.

Leftists do divide by Zero.

Math became racist the first day it was used to count black crimes....

[magooey]

The educationists can muck up STEM teaching in the US since big business and government labs have been looting the rest of the planet of intellectual resources.

[cranked]

Actually, the panel or whatever that judged that math was racist are racists.....

[Phil DiBasquette]

You’re assuming purchase

[doorgunner69]

Like, you know, Dude...
Math is HARD!!

Got to be racist, only those white people and Asians are any good at it.

[blueplum]

now this is a peachy argument - Math is racist so Islam is racist, China is racist, Egyptians are racist and so are Assyrians/Sumarians/Canaanites/Phoenicians - who all used math

[Fred Hayek]

I don’t think the author agrees with it, instead he is describing the insanity infecting academia.

This is way too absurd for even the Babylon Bee. But then when you have academics in mathematics education departments publishing screeds like “logic and reason is the perpetuation of white cishet patriarchy”, the so-called intellectuals have gone ‘round the bend. We are surely headed toward Idiocracy, but not like that in the movie. It will be more like everyone except the self appointed elite afraid to think a thought. Imagine the Chinese Cultural Revolution on steroids and meth. How much further to Pol Pot territory?
