We do the same thing with similar people throughout all of history. People have a stick up their ass about nazis because they're vaguely recent. It's almost a century ago though. People need to get over muh holocaust. The people are long dead. They're part of history. They're not any worse than plenty other historical figures from fucked up societies that we honor. Hell, we even respect tons of them like Genghis Khan and I'd argue he's as bad as Hitler.

Does the same thing apply to communists? They have explicitly attached their identity to a murderous ideology (one that objectively killed more people than Nazism). By using the name of Gentzen or Teichmuller, you are not attaching your identity to Nazism, let alone doing so explicitly.

You have no argument against this because your position is completely biased and disingenuous. If you claim that accurately giving credit to Gentzen for his work amounts to endorsing a murderous ideology, then explicitly and openly supporting communism in the way that many anti-white SJW types do, is even more of an endorsement of a murderous ideology.

I honestly don't understand why this is controversial. Doesn't everyone want to be taught by people they can ethnically and culturally identify with? Doesn't everyone want role models that they can ethnically and culturally identify with?

We often hear about the need for black, Hispanic, etc. teachers and role models for students in the black community, and I fully support this. But shouldn't the same also apply to white students?

Identity is an important component of human culture and psychology. There is nothing wrong with it. Pretending that identity doesn't exist does us no good. If you want to reduce racial tension and conflict, then you need to learn to accept the reality of race and be open and honest about it. I wish no harm on the black or muslim or Jewish communities, or any other community, but I just want whites to be free to embrace our identity in the same way as any other races.

In short, I do not think it's a good idea to start renaming concepts.
It is not supposed to honor people for being Nazis, but rather to honor work that characterizes original ideas in mathematics.
I think if these names for concepts have been good enough for 50+ years now, then they should also be good enough for us today. Furthermore keeping names the same reduces headache when reading old articles.
Finally, I doubt the sincerity of the outrage in OP's screenshot. The pictured twitter user may be honest about it, but on the other hand maybe not. It's difficult to tell as long as you live in a culture which socially rewards acting like you're more 'tough on Nazism' than others.

>I am not concerned with making difficulties for you as a Jew, but only with protecting – above all – German students of the second semester from being taught differential and integral calculus by a teacher of a race quite foreign to them. I, like everyone else, do not doubt your ability to instruct suitable students of whatever origin in the purely abstract aspects of mathematics. But I know that many academic courses, especially the differential and integral calculus, have at the same time educative value, inducting the pupil not only to a conceptual world but also to a different frame of mind. But since the latter depends very substantially on the racial composition of the individual, it follows that a German student should not be allowed to be trained by a Jewish teacher.

Dare I say, quite based.
Along the same lines, quote by Bieberbach:
>"… the spatial imagination is a characteristic of the Germanic races, while pure logical reasoning has a richer development among Romanic and Hebraic races. … In the intellectual sphere the race shows in the manner of creation, the evaluation of the results, and I guess also in the standpoint considering foundational questions. … Formalism wants to build a realm of mathematical truths which is independent of man, whereas Intuitionism is based on the idea that mathematical thinking is a human endeavor and thus cannot be separated from man."

Censorship is more relevant in other domains than mathematics. Nobody really thinks about cancelling whole concepts unless you're an ancient Greek named Pythagoras.
