A Vanderbilt math professor criticized the subject for being too "white" and "cisheteropatriarchal" in a lecture he presented at a major mathematician conference earlier this month.
Luis Leyva, an assistant professor of mathematics at Vanderbilt Peabody College of Education and Human Development in Nashville, Tennessee, at the Joint Mathematics Meeting on January 4 delivered a lecture titled "Undergraduate Mathematics Education as a White, Cisheteropatriarchal Space and Opportunities for Structural Disruption to Advance Queer of Color Justice."

Cisheteropatriarchal.
Wasn’t that a song from Mary Poppins?
As a 747 Captain I don’t care who is sitting in the right seat as long as they are good at the job, or willing to learn when needed. I don’t care the color, the sex, the whatever… If you are a hack, don’t know your job I don’t want you near me.
Oh, by the way… You don’t have to be a math magician.
I think the cisheteropatriarchal is located anterior to the sacroiliac
Likely can’t do mathematics at a level to get published in real math academic journals. So, he’s now got this scam to get published, tenured and promoted.
How many Black people want to fly on an airplane designed by Black aerospace engineers using Black math?
cisheteropatriarchal
Aka
Normal
If you want to get racial about it, its too “Asian,” but whatever....
I wish we could make these people live in a world built by people who do not do math
Post#18. GMTA.
These people are insane. Stop the world, I want to get off.
Saying that geeks are alpha male studs doesn’t make the point he thinks it does.
Lesbians and transmen (and transwomen for that matter) may be a lot better at math than Luis thinks.
But if he feels so strongly about this he can always set up “Gays Who Code” clubs.
I love how these people make these statements but never provide the reason why that is so. A human is a human, and there is no limitation on brain power based upon gender, skin color, nor sexual proclivity. There are many examples of women, people of color, and of all sexual proclivities who are very accomplished in math skill sets.
Missed that! GMTA! GMTA!
LOL, perfect.
Send them to live with isolated tribes in the Amazon or on some Pacific island. No math required, but the laws of physics do still apply, so watch your step at the edge of that cliff while you are chasing a deer to shoot for dinner with your bow and arrow.
The stupidity has now oozed beyond the ridiculous and is trickling down to the sublime...
Our so-called Arabic numerals were actually invented in India, where most of the people are not white. So whites should feel guilty about using the numerals (cultural appropriation) while everyone else should revel in their being a product of the non-white world.
Oh yes, which is why so many Asian students excel in mathematics at all levels. What a douche loser.
Crazy. Vanderbilt is a quality, and pricey, university.
