I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not, but the objections are not typically phrased in the type of language you're using.
A typical example is something like this, from Louie (J.Res.Math.Ed. 2017):
>Through the lens of the culture of exclusion, students who appear mathematically gifted are viewed as intelligent, whereas others are myopically perceived as “slow,” “remedial,” and “special needs.” These perceived differences are used to justify stratification such that the culture of exclusion in mathematics education shapes access to intellectually stimulating learning opportunities, prestigious educational programs, lucrative careers, and high-status identities. Furthermore, because ability categories are mapped onto other socially constructed categories, the culture of exclusion is both a product of and a tool for the maintenance of racial, gender, linguistic, economic, and other hierarchies.
It is at its core a form of anti-intellectualism, that is true, but often emanating from other intellectual ideas from the academy.
- feoren 3y agoOkay, have these guys seen how people who are really good at football are treated? And all those guys who are great at guitar keep getting all the chicks, goddammit! There's no reason to think that mathematics has any more of a "culture of exclusion" than any other field of study, vocation, or sport.

- sergiogjr 3y agoWell, haven't you noticed how the DIE cult is already all over entertainment? Sports teams kneeling down because of "oppression" and pop culture being absolutely dominated by sex and violence propaganda? Specially those being produced targeting the "minorities". It's a brave new world.
