You should read this article link for yourself, I won't try to summarize it. What do you think?

I've made it a poll, and you can vote for more than one choice. If you're a citizen of this forum, it is your duty to vote, especially on this issue. lol.

I don't know about math, but the word is priv·i·lege.


P.S. Math is just something else to think about. And, there are many ways to think about the same things.
Never make a bet that you wouldn't take, yourself.

My error, I agree. Once you type in the title of a thread, it is a little difficult to actually see the last few words of what you've typed in.

Where is the choice for not trusting Clinton News Network?? Poll is Bi-Assed right from the start.

But reading the comments (below the article) is a hoot, well worth your time.

That's the best thing about reading articles like this.

And where's the "bigot" option in the poll? Seems very appropriate here.
DUHHIIIIIIIII HEARD THAT!

Aren't Arabs responsible for a large portion of the math we use today?

This professor is wrong on so many levels. I know so many Indians (from India), Asians and Iranians who are very strong at mathematics and computer programming and who will be laughing at this woman if they ever hear of this.

I would love to see university mathematics departments denounce this nonsense in the strongest terms possible.

This is one stupid professor who apparently has stupid opinions. I highly doubt she has a large number of her academic peers backing up this nonsense.

Right wing media/political groups love to latch on to this once-off garbage, or outright fabricate it in an attempt to perpetuate the idea that there's some sort of concerted effort from the left to shame and take away rights from white males for being white and male. As a white male, I do not think that is the case at all.

I hope I don't have to pay royalties to Fox News for saying that. They might have it trademarked at this point.
