The issue, as I see it, is that roughly 50% of the population is incapable of learning algebra at a proficient level. I suspect that being able to learn algebra well greatly depends on one’s early childhood education. People living in bad school districts are at a severe disadvantage as a result. As a result people of color, statistically, are the ones who fail algebra in college the most and thus some people think college algebra is racist. Such is my opinion and experience. I’ve been teaching college math for 30 years. I don’t have studies to back my opinion up.
