I get it, looking at the cultural assumptions of an academic discipline is deeply uncomfortable, especially when you're so deeply immersed in them. When people politicize the discussion and start shaming others for not agreeing with them, it gets a whole lot worse. Does that mean this work is not a valid or worthwhile activity? Is there something special about Mathematics which means it's been free from the influence of culture in its development?

There's value in self-reflection into our institutional and cultural biases so dismissing the idea of engaging with them is a dubious position to take.
