I found it notable that in a lengthy multi-part document about white supremacy in math, there is zero mention of the word "Asian" despite that Asians are about 15% of California's population.
- cullinap 5y agoActually if you read the document and remove the phrase "white supremacy" I tend to agree with some of the conclusions. For example the section about procedural knowledge vs. conceptual is spot on. You don't need to be a human calculator to be good at math. Schools emphasize surface level understandings and almost never allow you to go deep on a topic.

- inglor_cz 5y agoIn 2050, the contemporary struggle against white supremacy that is purportedly found in pretty much everything will be listed among great examples of moral panics. And the society will be morally panicking about something else, because this seems to be a generic weakness in human nature, not amenable to learning.
