>>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.

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

As soon as an European was introduced to the concept of zero and decimal #s, {transferred by Arabs after being introduced in [India],} the Italian Fibonacci came up with the fractal-inspired Fibonacci series [centuries before fractal math] that are used to this day.

Meanwhile in Africa....

Not only are the Indians "Aryans" but they like the swastika.

But do we know if the inventor of the Indian numerals spoke an Indo-Iranian language or a Dravidian language? The latter were the descendants of the people there before the Aryan invasion.
