We're in this weird point of attribution where the discoveries and popularizations of white men (in a society they created and dominated mind you) must now be discredited because similar theories existed in cultures and languages that are extinct, or we know little about, or are poorly documented. Convergent discoveries. In essence, 'white mathematics' is wrong because mathematical concepts existed in ambiguous points in times in undocumented or undiscovered regions of the world. We must now attribute these regions because...white men are bad ok? Nevermind that we can historically correlate these discoveries in a somewhat chronological timeline of innovation in our own western history. We can reverse engineer these discoveries and see that other cultures had similarly convergent ideas that sometimes predate discoveries in western history. It's important to give proper attribution where attribution is due, and I actually have no problem with this. It's cool to know that ancient India had such an advanced mathematical field of study for example. We frame these in a racist structure because... white civilization is bad? Is basically the gist I'm getting out of this. Which is why I think you and frankly most people reading that article are getting offended. Especially when you acknowledge mathematics as being a purely logical language used to express abstractions
