I had no idea that math was written in cursive.

Science is racist too, as are the laws of physics. All human advances are racist.

A real SJW paradise would be people living in caves, eating each other.

“If the data drives “bad” decisions, then take away the data.”

This gives a whole new meaning to bad data.... LOL

Math isn’t hard.

Arithmetic, that’s hard. Just because it’s so easy to make a computational error.

Hand-held calculators were teh greatest invention since fire.

Mathematics, geometry, trigonometry and calculus are white racist fabrications designed for the sole purpose of making minorities feel stupid.

Math and physics are easy. Not to brag but, I got straight A's in both through HS and college. Algebra problems are like candy to me.

I only point this out because everyone has their gifts, or lack thereof. I'm good with certain technical things. Can't carry a tune in a bucket. Only fair at certain sports, downright terrible at others. What is unfair is trying to jam everyone into the same molds, or trying to change the molds so that everyone fits.

most today upgrade their self esteem by thinking “do the math” when they are really thinking about arithmetic

Only in the eyes of liberals who think that the hiring for no job is (and shouldn’t be) based on merit, it’s all a hookup based on who you know. Cell phones, computers, and cars all design themselves, apparently.

Negro public school students do much worse on math tests than white and Asian students do therefore ergo to wit and QED, math is racist.

that’s true. I never had trouble with calculus, differential equations, statistics, etc.

But long division? Ouch!

No wonder minorities and women don’t like math.

So glad the “National Review” is guarding Conservative Interests. BTW, how much have they donated to the Clinton Foundation recently?

The keys to success include:
Good family structure with 2 married parents.
Study hard and get a good education.
Keep your nose clean, stay away from drugs, excess alcohol and crime.
Get a job, show up on time and work hard.
Dont have kids out of wedlock.
Be frugal and save your money.

Certain groups take pride in avoiding all of the above and then blame racism for their problems.

“Racist” is a made-up word with no fixed meaning, so, since it means whatever the speaker intends, math can be “racist”.
