So when enough people (with power/privilege) dictate how that system is approached, written, defined, etc. and exclude certain groups from that system, then the system is flawed. So... it's racist because we're using a system that originated in India and migrated through the mideast, then somehow got peppered full of the Greek alphabet? "White People" math was DCCCLXXXIX and stuff, and I don't think division was really practical in that sort of system. <cite>Questionmarktarius posted [p:929413854] in Math is ra...
