> I see a lot of people defending all of this by saying "how is being more inclusive a bad thing". I can't speak for everyone but I don't think this is what people take issue with. The issue is that no amount of inclusivity is going to result in perfectly equitable, racially balanced outcomes in mathematics. The only way to reach those outcomes is to deconstruct mathematics itself so that the factors inherent in it that result in disparate outcomes across groups are removed. This might take the form of removing aspects like "correctness" and "proofs" and formal notation and so forth; it is up to us as a society to determine what we value more. Personally, as someone who will probably end up having to live under a bridge one day due to posting edgy comments online, I hope that we value correctness, at least in civil engineering fields. Otherwise, that bridge may fall on me...
