Then as an Arab you would be truly pissed about how much of the basic sciences were lifted from the Arabic world, without any kind of attribution in modern time

- shripadk 10y agoIf there was any contribution by any Arab then it should be attributed. Where did I say otherwise? All I was talking about was contribution by Hindu mathematicians which was not just appropriated (I'm not against this) but their contribution forgotten/neglected (which kinda pisses me off). In fact, even in another Hackernews post about "Box Breathing" I made a similar comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13512908 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13512908 I'm not against appropriation but, at the same time, I'm also against whitewashing. Does this make sense?
