“School mathematics curricula emphasizing terms like Pythagorean Theorem and pi perpetuate a perception that mathematics was largely developed by Greeks and other Europeans," she says

Not to mention all the technology that Asians came up with like printing, silk and several others. Who says you have to be Asian to wear a silk shirt?

Perhaps this “educator” should be told that the founder of Geometry - Euclid of Alexandria - was born in Africa, and the founder of algebra - Al Khwarezmi - was born in Central Asia.

Excuse me, isn’t the word “algebra” derived from Arabic. Oh, and our number system, based on Hindoo base 10 notation, for some reason called “Arabic numbers”.

What about astronomy? Most named stars have Arabic names. Look at the 57 navigational star names: https://namingschemes.com/57_Selected_Stars_for_Navigation

Are astronomy and navigation racist?

The division of circle into 360 degrees? The division of time into minutes and seconds? The invention of trigonometry? Babylonian. 24 hours in a day? Egyptian.

The woman is a profound ass.
