It's the number one trick up the sleeves of conservative shitposters. Take a stupid thing that *some guy* said somewhere. Post a link to it. Then dance around it like it's a fucking lit-ass bonfire signalling liberal fragility, the daily racial oppression endured by white men, whatever. They chant how persecuted they are, dance, and wave their spears long into the night, frothing with OUTRAGE.
This is my topic documenting all the stupid fucking conservative outrage pickles I see on GameFAQs. Whenever I see a dumbass topic dedicated to this brand of pathological pathos, I'm gonna quote the op, @ the tc, and link to it.
A math education professor at the University of Illinois argued in a newly published book that algebraic and geometry skills perpetuate unearned privilege among whites.
Rochelle Gutierrez, a professor at the University of Illinois, made the claim in a new anthology for math teachers, arguing that teachers must be aware of the politics that mathematics brings in society.
On many levels, mathematics itself operates as Whiteness. Who gets credit for doing and developing mathematics, who is capable in mathematics, and who is seen as part of the mathematical community is generally viewed as White, Gutierrez argued.
Gutierrez also worries that algebra and geometry perpetuate privilege, fretting that curricula emphasizing terms like Pythagorean theorem and pi perpetuate a perception that mathematics was largely developed by Greeks and other Europeans."
Math also helps actively perpetuate white privilege too, since the way our economy places a premium on math skills gives math a form of unearned privilege for math professors, who are disproportionately white.
Are we really that smart just because we do mathematics? she asks, further wondering why math professors get more research grants than social studies or English professors.
