Apparently Mathematics Is Racist Now Because....White Privilege

This thread got me doing a little web reading on the words"race" and "racism".

Seems much of academia,and the rest of the world, agree the invention and implementation of racism is solely a product of the modern American culture, even though the vast majority of historians agree that the earliest recorded instance of people being persecuted solely based on lineage was the Spanish Inquisition. I have no doubt people were deciding who they were going to not share their roast mammoth haunch with based on appearance predates that.

Also of interest and somewhat ironic were the comments made by many Southeastern Europeans, Middle Easterners and Asians, that although they had somewhat dark skin, they were considered white, and the line that delineated white and non-white actually started in the next town/village/state/country to the east.

I don't doubt your google foo but people have looked down upon other races as subhuman since the beginning of recorded history. See bible.jews for an example

Interestingly enough apparently a few scholars doubt the historical accuracy of the bible as well... see the WIKI article on "Egyptian Jews" for sources


The Book of Genesis and Book of Exodus describe a period of Hebrew servitude in ancient Egypt, during decades of sojourn in Egypt, the escape of well over a million Israelites from the Delta, and the three-month journey through the wilderness to Sinai.[5] The historical evidence does not support this account. [6] Israelites first appear in the archeological record on the Merneptah Stele from between 1208-3 BCE at the end of the Bronze Age.

That is actually fascinating do you have the site you found that on? Also my point being was there's always been racism and distaste for other races. I'd actually argue the last 60 years of history are the anomaly and not the norm.
 
This is why the rest of the world is beating our students in math.....

This is mostly a myth. If you disaggregate US test scores in a, er, politically incorrect way, many of our students are in the top three countries for math.

But then you'd be a racist.

Genesis describes Joseph and his tribe amassing all the wealth of Egypt as agents of the Pharaoh, causing an economic depression. When Joseph was done the people of Egypt had lost all their grain, money, cattle and land and had indentured themselves to the Pharaoh.

Slaves, Hebrews born to serve
To the Pharaoh
Heed to his every word
Live in fear

Faith, of the unknown one
The deliverer

Wait, something must be done
Four hundred years

I "took a knee" in math long before Colon was born.

We were always taking a knee in the army, but not because we hated whitey, it was the giant green tick on our backs sucking the life out of us. All for .27 cents an hour. How dare we keep these millionaire football players down.
 
Quote [FONT=&quot]“Are we really that smart just because we do mathematics?” she asks, further wondering why math professors get more research grants than “social studies or English” professors.

If she can't figure out why this is, she really isn't that smart.[/FONT]

It's not that she can't figure it out, it's that she just, flat doesn't want to figure it out, and as many others in this thread have already pointed out, has nothing to gain by figuring it out.
 
Its not that shes stupid or delusional, its that there is a system in place where people like her can benefit from saying the things that shes saying. Simple as that. Doesnt have to be true. Doesnt have to make sense. Shes a wannabe Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton.
 
Also Azians are smarter than whites, proven fact, can we at least hate on Azians for a change to give us crackers a break?

Don't worry, the libs are already on that. The tolerant, open-minded, diversity-embracing moonbats who run the universities have decided that there's just too many damn Asians and "rectified" that problem by deducting 50 SAT points from Asian college applicants (Blacks get +230, Latinos +185, whites +0, not sure about Native Americans). Many colleges also have internal policies requiring Asian students' GPAs to be higher than a competing non-Asian applicant to be considered. Here's an article talking about it: http://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-adv-asian-race-tutoring-20150222-story,amp.html

Also, the stereotype that Asians have the highest incomes of any race in the US only works if you look at median household income. Asian immigrant families tend to have multi-generational households with three or four plus adults working, as opposed to one or two in non-Asian homes. If you look at individual incomes, Asians still make on average less than whites. We also have to take into account Asians who come from backgrounds of means, like many East Asian groups, who already have money and advanced education and come to the US for their careers, versus poorer immigrants, especially from Southeast Asia, who came as refugees of war or to seek a better life. In fact, Asians are the poorest racial group in NYC, earning less than Blacks and Latinos. Despite this, Asian students make up the majority in that city's test schools like Stuyvesant. There is a great premium placed on education by Asian families, more-so the poor ones, since they want their kids to succeed, and believe the key to success is a good education. Their SJW leftist mayor DiBlasio decided this was a problem, and wanted to "increase diversity" (read: get rid of the Asians) at those test schools by making the admissions process "holistic" rather than exam-based. More on that here: https://nypost.com/2014/07/19/why-nycs-push-to-change-school-admissions-will-punish-poor-asians/amp/

And if that wasn't enough, Asians are often the targets of harassment and violence from other groups who scapegoat us for our "success," like these Philadelphia high school students who were beaten by groups of Black students while being called epithets. Of course the all-Black school admin and teachers looked the other way and even wink-and-nod encouraged it until the Asian students organized a protest and refused to go to school under those conditions: http://www.cnn.com/2010/LIVING/10/22/philly.school.asian.american.attacks/index.html

Then there's also BLM, where many of their members are openly racist toward Asians and incite violence towards us. Here's BLM activist mocking Dr. David Dao being dragged off the United flight. He justifies it by claiming there's an epidemic of Asian men beating up Black women, which was actually just one case in North Carolina where the Asian business owner stopped a Black woman from shoplifting and she attacked him first: https://mobile.twitter.com/tariqnasheed/status/851508292631134208?lang=en

https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_58c80594e4b081a56def82fd

We are also not considered, for practical purposes, a protected class, especially Asian men. If a non-Black person cracked a Black joke in the workplace, the offender would almost certainly be fired and the offended offered counseling. An Asian man in the same situation would be laughed at and told to get over it. I've personally witnessed both scenarios go down.

There's also been a growing contingent of SJWs who are floating the phrase "Asian Privilege" around, and using it as a way to demean Asians and paint us as oppressors, and claim that Asians are inherently racist toward Blacks so to "make reparation" for it we must kowtow via affirmative action among other things. Sadly, there's a ton of college aged, liberal Asians who are jumping on this band wagon and self-flagellating at the SJW altar becaise they've been gas lighted into thinking it's true, despite the obvious bullshit going on if you look at it from more than a superficial level.

I've been called "racist" by liberal white and Asian SJWs for daring to bring up the points I discussed above, complete with citations. I harbor no ill will toward Blacks, Whites, Latinos, any race or ethnicity. All this bullshit is the result of years of liberal progressive policy and social engineering pitting groups against one another and bullying anybody who dares speak against their narrative into silence.

Do these people like this "professor" and others like her actually believe this shit that they say or are they just trying to make headlines?

I find it hard to believe that any person with even a slight bit of ability to think could say these types of things. I mean these people can't possibly be that stupid.... Can they?

It's not about stupid. It's about power. It's about you obeying and doing whatever they damn please.

History lesson - in the USSR every damn textbook - any kind of non fiction book really had to start with a quote from a classic of Marxism-Leninism, preferably Lenin but Marx would do. Lenin was much better though.
Since what we have now some call cultural marxism, only fitting that every texbook starts with a dose of ideology.
