I'm glad that I'll probably be dead when: 2 Mexican drug mules + 2 Islamic terrorists = 5 undocumented immigrants.

Hopefully the world will become tired of being brainwashed.
Well, Yitang Zhang very recently proved the twin primes conjecture which was a problem that basically every number theorist has looked at for hundreds of years, and Terence Tao has done work that most white mathematicians (or most mathematicians for that matter) can't even imagine of attempting, so I view math as more of the Asian male opportunity as opposed to white privilege. Take a look at the demographics of faculty/grad students in most institutions of higher learning today, the Statistics departments I've visited were all like half Asian and a lot of the white people were Russian.
You're all attacking the website but not refuting anything they reported. Just follow the links they give.

There's her profile right on the university website.
Here is her twitter profile. Lots of good stuff there too

There is a concerted and growing effort in academia to politicize math. Math is racist now. What a world.
Unfortunately, truth is independent of its source. Either these things were said or they weren't. I can find no evidence that they weren't said. I'm always open to reevaluation should new contradictory evidence appear. I'm not constantly angry, just constantly disappointed in the quality of American college faculty and the current reign of terror of campus political correctness.Quote:

Math is racist, books are racist, reading is racist, education is racist, flag is racist, money is racist, capitalism is racist, EVERYTHING is racist. Except black people. Black people cannot be racist.

Are you going to start a thread about it now, or wait until a right wing rage-blog picks it up and rebrands it as a threat to Israel's existence?
Mmmmm, pudding.Quote:

Yes.
But it seems to be fairly well sourced, and the article itself does not seem sensational or difficult to believe.
It seems likely to me that the facts reported in the article about this whack-job professor are indeed facts.
So what's the problem?
Keep in mind that I despite clickbait right-wing sites which prey upon the highly divided political climate, as they often disseminate false or misleading articles which fit their narrative and get clicks. (This is prevalent on the left, as well.) However, this article does not seem to be fake news.
Do we now need to dismiss any news as worthless, which isn't reported from a position of complete neutrality?
If so, then we need to dismiss nearly everything political ever written on this forum.
Who cares why it was written?Quote:

If it's the truth, then there should be no problem putting the information out there.

would you say the same thing if it was liberal babble?
You can keep saying the same thing over and over, but it is incredibly foolish to complain about truthful news stories because you don't like the motivation behind the writer.Quote:

This is exactly why many deride Trump for his "fake news" claims, whenever there's something bad reported about him.
While you need to approach a biased source with caution, you can't entirely dismiss it, as the biased source is also more likely to dig for actual dirt.
With all due respect, this is not the greatest analogy. What might be more analogous is the endless hammering of Israel, the only real democracy in that part of the world, on college campuses by both students and teachers. There is virtually nothing that can't be said to vilify Israel. This is typical of the radical left's control of the college campus dialogue.Quote:

So you think that the story was to inform people?

The actual source for this story is here: http://www.infoagepub.com/products/B...matics-Methods
But you'll have to pay $40 to see if this rando-blog is telling the truth. I would assume they probably are.
I am at the point where I see absolutely no reason to ever give a penny to my alma mater, or any other college. This woman probably makes 100K+/year to peddle her nonsense. And there are a lot of reasonably well payed left wing loony professors everywhere. If you want to spend your hard earned money to support this, than go ahead. Count me out.
I just hope that by the time my son reaches college age, there will be a reasonable alternative to spending $50k+/yr to send him to a radical leftist university. Unfortunately, as things stand now that 4 year degree is the gatekeeper to most good professions, even if you learn nothing useful during those 4-5 years, and in fact learn a lot of nonsense which the real world has to beat out of you, which is what happens in most of the non STEM majors.
If you're majoring in a non-STEM field, I think you know going in that's the sort of nonsense you're signing up for.Quote:

I am curious if anyone has any defense of the actual argument of whether it is appropriate or effective to be politicizing math, and criticism of it as an instrument of "whiteness," or are we just going to attack the credibility of the source?
As far as the reality that on average Asians and Indians (dot) are much better at math than white people, it is actually interesting that right wing (and you can definitely argue racist) personalities address this issue by saying Asians may be better on average at learning mathematics and score higher on average on the math SAT, but white people are better at the innovative side, especially when it comes to applying mathematics innovatively in the real world.
Guys I just had a second independent source confirm my theory that Jesus was a Jewpede from Mars.
For $40 I'll let you read my blog post about it.
Professors are teaching children that math is racist. Isn't that inflammatory and divisive (in addition to mindbogglingly retarded)?Quote:

If we at a later date determine that the site lied, then our discussion will turn to that issue. This is how a forum for the exchange of ideas works as opposed to a forum for trolls.Quote:

What will end up happening is that bands of militant students will begin shouting down math professors and protesting college administration to teach their new form of retard intersectional math. The administration will cave because to do otherwise would be racist. The new politicized math will become the standard throughout academia.Quote:

the problem is these sort of people end up on elementary school boards and setting up curriculum for public schools.

My understanding is there has been a lot of "experimenting" in school districts teaching math and sciences in more politically correct ways, and predictably the results have been abysmal.Quote:

Grow the fuck up, Christianity and science agree on exactly one thing; Jesus was a transgender space centipede from Mars who colonized this planet, racist.
The whites, blacks and hispanics are so stupid that now the Orientals are being reverse racismed out of spots in prestigious private schools and universities!

Simple minded white men are being radicalized online.
I disagree with you and BlunderMaker that the sky is falling in that regard. It's an issue, but an exaggerated one imo. We have a worse problem with religious fundamentalists on school boards politicizing history and science. My home state is infamous for this. I was taught abstinence-only sex ed and had science teachers making a case for creationism. But even as a kid I saw through that as bullshit, probably because kids' attitudes about these things are more strongly influenced by their parents.Quote:

The problem here is that you can't just avoid these classes by simply majoring in STEM fields.
For example, when I was in college -- and mind you, we're talking the much less politically correct early 1990s -- I was required to take a Black Studies course, where the professor called the LA rioters "freedom fighters".
Regardless of its overall impact upon society, some of us find it obnoxious that public funds are spent on hiring college professors with such radical views, and that little is done in most cases when outrageous behavior of theirs is brought to light.
Furthermore, it stinks that you are forced to take these courses as "general ed", regardless of your major. You basically have to lie in your essays in such classes if you don't want to get a failing grade.
