We already know what happens when feminism engineering builds bridges (Miami Footbridge Collapse). I can’t wait to see what wonders will come from anti-racist math.
Fortunately, I’ll probably be dead before the little s**ts try to build airplanes or rockets.
I remember when the future was going to be a great place.
A libtard trying to be deep. Hahaha
Myself, I think pro basketball is racist.
When the teacher worked the problem with white chalk on a blackboard it was?
Math is hard- never said by an Asian student
I think reading may be racist too so I am gonna skip this in protest.
I did not know that about the bridge — what happened, PC promotion of underqualified engineers? (likely)
Here, btw, for what seems to be a decent analysis of the direct causes of the collapse: https://www.bradyheywood.com.au/miami-bridge-failure-part-1-the-collapse/
USA Today is a sorry excuse for a newspaper. It is written for illiterate morons. It is obsessed with global “warming.” It is not worth the paper its printed on.
Hey, I have worked with some very adequate women engineers in the past.
The only people who are racist are the ones that don’t want to hold black people and other “minorities” to the same standards as everyone else.
I can’t keep track of what is racist.
Most of the mathematical “breakthroughs” were by “people of color.”
The “we wuz kangz” Afrocentrists claim Black Africans invented all math and technology.
I ask this is the “math is racist.” Do you want to ride on an airplane built using racist math and engineering, or woke anti-racist math and engineering?
As a woman who actually likes math and science, I am disgusted by the idea of letting someone skate by on lowered standards because of their gender. Whoever made that decision should have been charged as an accomplice in the deaths caused by that bridge collapse.
The soft bigotry of low expectations.
Interestingly, the novel contains another fictional nonfiction work, as a "conservative" viewpoint at odds with the novel's dominant "progressive" government, which notes:
"In philosophy, or religion, or ethics, or politics, two and two might make five, but when one was designing a gun or an aeroplane they had to make four. Inefficient nations were always conquered sooner or later, and the struggle for efficiency was inimical to illusions."
Ultimately the story reveals that Goldstein's "THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF OLIGARCHICAL COLLECTIVISM" is actually a work created by the Party as a honeypot to attract and destroy objective thinkers, showing the collective's leaders are fully aware of the absurdity of "2+2=5", and choose to push it anyway for imperative of power over survival.
We're quick to quote _1984_, but few see how deep the work really is.
The tyranny of the anecdote. Hey, I know some awesome black folk.
I thought that math originated in Babylon, in Iraq, Egypt and other Arab nations.
Are Arabs part of white supremacy now?
