ZMythos 10/29/19 11:00:50 PM #11:	I'm a math teacher. Yes, math has its share of history rooted in racism and sexism. Many of history's greatest mathematicians were women and people of color. Today a disproportionate number of math (and STEM in general) majors are held by white men because it was less than a century ago that we even began to consider letting women and minorities have access to a quality education. Much of how math was historically taught lends itself to western culture, which further keeps other groups from learning math. Nowadays we try to offer more equitable practices. We can use math as a teaching tool to analyze social injustices through data analysis and drawing conclusions, allowing students a way to facilitate conversations that include thorough reasoning and problem solving. --- Rainbow Dashing: "it's just star wars" AutumnEspirit: kissu <cite>ZMythos posted [p:929412776] in Math is ra...

You couldn't have created star charts without access to advanced mathematics. Mayans and Indians both invented the concept of 0. Which is fascinating. Millions and millions of cultures all over the world, throughout history.

Mistere Man 10/30/19 12:08:16 AM #34:	ZMythos posted... Mistere Man posted... Again if the math was sound it was sound it was the mathematicians that were racist not math. Math is a tool, or even a universal language that can be learned and used by anyone. If those that know it are racist that doesnt change what math is. As with any tool or language it can be used for good or bad but that is the user will not the subject. You contradicted yourself. Despite its beauty math is only a construct, a system, made by people. 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. It's not the fault of the system itself, but then again most racist institutions aren't self-defined that way either. The prison system is racist because it enables the incarceration of a disproportionate number of black males. Math has racist roots because of the exclusion of women and people of color for centuries. The people in power once thought the world was flat, they even went as far as to ostracize (or worse) those that thought differently. This didnt change the truth just the truth as people knew it or were taught, but the universal truth was unaffected. Math is a universal truth our limited understanding of it doesnt change what it truly is just how we perceive it. People in power saying math is (blank) just like those saying the world is (blank) doesnt effect the truth. Math is math it doesnt discriminate or hate it isnt good or evil it just is. The history of our understanding of math may be riddled with racism and discrimination, but that doesnt mean math was the instigator, and it doesnt make math racist just the history of our understanding of it. --- Water+Fall=Radiation. <cite>Mistere Man posted [p:929414984] in Math is ra...
