I would never come to the idea that math is racist. However they state (3rd link):
• There is a greater focus on getting the "right" answer than understanding
concepts and reasoning.
• Independent practice is valued over teamwork or collaboration.
• Contrived word problems are valued over the math in students' lived experiences.
• Students are tracked (into courses/pathways and within the classroom).
• Participation structures reinforce dominant ways of being.
So they state that science is racist and white. Clearly shows the problem with US education, decades behind scientific nations.
