Professor Denounces Math (It Promotes Whiteness)

[Thordis]

Math is totally colorblind, one can even make it if one hails from a ghetto in India, to give an extreme example. And Algebra is an Arab word because back then, the Arabs developed and understood it, while the Greeks didn’t... they described the same thoughts much less elegantly geometrically because they were obsessed with Geometry, and that’s why it is a Greek word. There are few black mathematicians, admittedly, but that’s not because math is “racist”, it’s rather an IQ thing.

Of course discussions and evaluations in relation to IQ cannot be held without accusations of racism and discrimination. So what should typically happen to a “racist” math professor who “doesn’t allow blacks to pass?” How would they explain it, if only 20% of their White/Asian students failed in comparison to 80% of their black students? So they tend to let them pass instead of fail, give them C’s instead of D’s or A’s instead of B’s, etc., so that they are considered fair, balanced and objective in their review. And then those students who have been favored, being “equally qualified”, will get the job, even without the need for affirmative action... There was actually a case in South Africa where a female Indian all-A student brought her case to the Constitutional Court because her local university (in Natal) was forced to prefer male black C-students (due to racial quotas; the racial makeup of students at the university has to match the racial distribution in the province). Not sure whether her case was granted or dismissed, but it doesn’t make any sense, of course. If anything, it fosters reverse discrimination.

Due to this type of affirmative action, whites are the only group which is severely underrepresented at Ivy League universities. But the mainstream media will, of course, complain about “white privilege” and too few Asians, “because Asians are more gifted, so should be higher represented”. Typical...

Most of the current research in modern algebra is actually done by Chinese or Chinese Americans, most of the recent articles in my field are written by them. Meanwhile, Indians are slowly taking over theoretical computer science, which can easily be considered as a subset of mathematics.

Babylonians were solving algebraic equations before the Greeks. As I said before, no one person discovered or invented it.

However, no civilization before the Greeks used definition-theorem-proof approach in their proto-mathematics. In fact, I consider Euklides’ Elements to be the most influential mathematical publication ever written, and not because of it’s content, but because of it’s form, which barely differs from modern articles.

Nothing as masculine as math. Professor is an enemy versus honour and dignity. Now you're a PhD you are weaponised to put a counterweight versus frauds like that woman. Fight the good fight, Vya!

Who else would it be? Mexicans, Blacks?

I looked at a few published research papers on the subject, and had no idea what any of it was, its VERY math intensive.
