The Mathematical Association of America released a statement Friday claiming both that mathematicians should engage in uncomfortable conversations about race, and that policies of from the Trump administration, like the lack of a mask mandate in the United States, are somehow an affront to mathematics. The group concludes with a call for a pursuit of justice within math.

What a silly article. Scary that someone wrote it, however.
An ironically racist article.
Total lack of self awareness by Mathematics Association. If math is racist, math associations can be racist, too.
Numbers are smart. Mathematics is racist. Mathematics is sexist. A mathematical problem can look at the solver and decide to be more difficult if the person in front of the paper is not white or male.
Numbers can be either rational, or irrational. So can math associations.
This is why I love math and engineering
Its black and white. Right and wrong. Correct and incorrect
Liberals have poisoned every institution. They cant touch math
Heres their pathetic attempt
Agreed. This is a pathetic attempt. Silly.
One might conclude the NBA isnt racist, but to make such an observation is, well... racist. Therefore, let me suggest that we dont necessarily have systemic racism, but in reality... quantum racism.
Quantum Racism
That’s why I avoided it at all costs
I think I must be a person of color.
1. Teaching Math In 1950s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit ?
2. Teaching Math In 1960s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?
3. Teaching Math In 1970s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit?
4. Teaching Math In 1980s
A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20. Your assignment: Underline the number 20.
5. Teaching Math In 1990s
A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living?
Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes? (There are no wrong answers, and if you feel like crying, its ok. )
6. Teaching Math In 2009
Un hachero vende una carretada de madera para $100. El costo de la producciones es $80. Cuanto dinero ha ganado?
Forecast: Teaching Math In 2013 and on.
Who cares, just steal the lumber from your rich neighbors property. He wont have a gun to stop you, and the President says its OK anyway cuz its redistributing the wealth.
Makes sense - in Jr High I would have sworn that algebra was prejudiced against me.
That's just perfect.
I might add that their notion that math is racist is purely imaginary... :-)
I don’t think even Mao thought mathematics was an enemy of the state.
We are plumbing even deeper depths of stupidity than ever before.
..... Turns out that Money is also racist ..... Because it stays away from most minorities living in the inner city environment.
Okay, The Mathematical Association of America, cipher me this: The China Virus is 1/30th the size of mask filtrations used in the common everyday masks that people use to stop pissing their panties in fear. Is the size of China Virus:
A.) Larger than mask filtrations, which makes the masks effective.
B.) As large as an automobile, which makes the masks effective.
C.) Analogous to the size of an automobile on a 20-lane highway with no barriers, which makes the masks ineffective.
D.) Orangeman Bad.
The leftists continue their long march through the institutions—when the “progress” is complete our children’s children will be living in caves throwing feces at each other.
Fools.
President Xi, Putin are smiling...
