Topic	56% of Americans don't want Arabic numbers to be taught in schools
ParanoidObsessive 05/23/19 2:02:46 AM #6:	I'd be against teaching Arabic numerals in American schools, because it's a historical mistake and classical ethnocentrism to call them Arabic numerals in the first place. They were invented in India. We only call them Arabic numerals because that's who the Europeans were killing when they stole them. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family <cite>ParanoidObsessive posted [p:922256535] in 56% of Ame...
