The Chit-Chat Thread v3: Electric Potpourri

So I found out that months ago people in the U.S were debating wheter math was racist or not. Yes, math. Because people of color struggle with it.

I'm still in disbelief that such a debate is even a thing. Holy shit. Americans really see everything as a race issue.

Also, isn't saying that math is racist... racist? Because saying stuff like that implies only people of color are bad at math. The truth is that ANYONE, regardless of race, can be bad at math.

EDIT: so it turns out this has been a thing since five years ago or so. However the debate recently came back. My point still stands, tho. "Math is racist" is one of the most idiotic things I've ever heard.
