My bad
I had been taught in school that folks in Africa gave us arithmetic the concept of zero and oth math ideas
According to an idiot prof, one Rochelle Gutierrez, at U of I.
Quoting here, "On many levels, mathematics itself operates as Whiteness. Who gets credit for doing and developing mathematics, who is capable in mathematics, and who is seen as part of the mathematical community is generally viewed as White."
Even I can't be this stupid and racist.
