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.
And yet they poop on sidewalks, worship cows, and get married to cobras...

Except the Indians are considered “Aryan”, so whites need not feel guilty using the numerals. :)

Correct, and I occasionally point that out. The numerals 1-9 preexisted India’s contribution of zero giving 0-9. The inclusion of zero was meant to help with alignment, but it ironically proved to have much “greater” value.
