You people clearly don't understand the cultural differences between whites and blacks that translates into one's learning style. And currently the schools adopt a style that it suited towards whites and asians, neglescting the special needs of the Afro-Americaan community.

I was raised in East Oakland.

The problem isn't the schools, or the methods of teaching, it's a problem of culture and motivation among blacks.

The culture punishes intelligence and rewards entitlement attitudes.

Blacks are not special unique snowflakes who needs special teaching methods. They need a cultural revolution not centered around drugs and crime.

If this is truly the case, then African African communities themselves are to blame for the black-white test gap. However no public official would ever make such a comment for fear of "sounding racist".

I think it's about time we adapt a laissez-faire attitude towards education, where help is available to those who actively seek it, and those who fail are shown no sympathy.

racism in maths is a severe problem, just look at the treatment of the non-positive non-zero numbers in america.

in america, the less-than-zero population is called the "negative numbers". this term is typically introduced after the children are already familiar with the counting numbers, which are called positive. thus, the association of strangeness and otherness is attached to the negatives in the formative years of childhood education and thus society at large.

perhaps the most stark display of prejudice against the negatives (hereforth the negs) occurs in formal notation. in america, it is customary to signify a neg by placing a "-" before it, insinuating that negs are always prone to armed violence. this association is further strengthen by the compulsive desire to enclose negs within ()'s at every occasion. in fact, in accounting, the very imprisonment of a number signifies that it is a neg. the mathematical language, with its seemingly crystalline logic and distance from politics, is in fact deeply political. it is another facet of the machinery for the reproduction of social hierarchy and domination.


worse still is the treatment of the "imaginary numbers" community, whose existence has long been marginalized by the incredibly alienating gesture of denying their concrete existence. due to space constraints, we will leave them for the next episode.

Experienced this first hand in UK schooling, maths SATs papers.. literally every written question had a foreign name in order to be politically correct 'Ahmed has 5 red balls and 3 blue balls and puts them in a bag, Mujhibor then takes a ball from the bag what are the odds it was blue' etc.

I like the idea of more focus on math that originated from foreign countries, look back in the past, a lot of math breakthroughs came from Arabs etc,

but, apart from that, I cannot really see how math can be racist.

yea, thousands of years ago.
But, see, the point of math, is that it's true by itself, it's not tied to who discovered what or who invented it. It's objective.

there could be a point that some way of doing math are easier than others(using indian numerals is better than using roman numerals).

But does this belong in a maths lesson, or a history/geography lesson? Anyway, as an anon already pointed out, maths is one of the purest, most universal and culture-free disciplines there is. Of all the fucking subjects, maths is the one where there's no need for the politically-correct brigade to hijack it and inject a good dose of self-hating post-colonial guilt.
