I just looked up calculus on wikipedia and the first image of a person is an arab and it even so says in the underlying image description;
>"Alhazen, 11th century Arab mathematician and physicist"
When continued to scroll down the page you encounter the next person;
>"Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz was the first to state clearly the rules of calculus."
When continued to scroll down the page you encounter the next person;
>"Isaac Newton developed the use of calculus in his laws of motion and gravitation."
When continued to scroll down the page you encounter the next person;
>"Maria Gaetana Agnesi"

Why doesn't the underlying image description of white males and females declare their race and/or national origin?
Why doesn't the female have any underlying image description at all?

Is wikipedia' mathematical department racist?
