Is math racist?

[Anonymous No.9806978]

IQ is a social construct that cishet white men devised that defines “intelligence” on the basis of culture. Sadly, there is a direct correlation between high IQ and “earning” a PhD in a STEM discipline, which is all too reflective of how white cishet men have designed disciplinary concepts to reinforce their own power structures.

It is fundamentally unfair and marginalizing for IQ tests and mathematics curriculum to be designed around the same white supremacist, cisheteronormative standards, thus marginalizing women of color. What we need isn’t just “fair hiring;” we need a radical reconceptualization of mathematics in a decolonizing framework.

We have allowed white cishet men (nearly all of whom had utterly disgusting views about race and gender) to define “mathematics,” “logic” and “proof” for us? there are many kinds of math, many kinds of logic, and many kinds of proof, and assemble a new concept of math from the mosaic of cultural expression that humanity affords.

Even if you restrict to "classical" logic, mathematics education is problematic. For example, "All players can't hit home runs" could mean that most players can not hit home runs in some dialects, meaning points would be lost when answering questions which rely on the interpretation "No player can hit a home run."

Furthermore, the math programs largely help privileged people get jobs in technology and finance through nepotism (aka "networking").

Why the homophobia?

Is it because you are also sexist and therefore believe that a marriage must have a ruler (man) and a ruled person (woman)

At this point the people pushing this line of tripe, such as yourself, are starting to give ammo to the people saying that life was better, for everyone, before feminism happened.

Memes are exclusionary and serve to perpetuate the patriarchy; the creators of memes are almost exclusively young white men , who then act as the gatekeepers of what is cool and funny. That movie is also problematic.

Then you are what's wrong with society. Cis wh*te males such as yourself have been the oppressors for far too long. The patriarchy must be smashed, along with outdated concepts such as "objective reality" and "truth", which wh*te men have had a monopoly on for millennia.

this post isn't provocative at all. this is just the average opinion of every humanities undergrad. if you want to post a spicy idea/troll, try something original.

1. A very bad troll 2. No one fucking cares 3. Why the Mandelbrot set? Is that racist also, or do you have problems with it being painted black, or that it has an imaginary axis that is just as unreal as your bullshit?

racism = prejudice + power, so minorities can never be racist

Such a meaningless question.

Even if all of this is true, there is no problem with it. If anyone doesnt like the "white power structure" just leave and make up your own logic, and math, and science. Ofc dont expect white societies to pay for it.

I find it sad that I've become completely desensitized to this sort of rhetoric and grown used to the fact that these intellectual currents have become a defining trait of our timeline, despite being so blatantly outrageous.
How crazy can society get /sci/? I don't even want to think about what the future might hold.
