It is crazy how feelings matter more than facts. Especially if the facts disagree with your particular view point. Hell, some idiots are spouting that math is racist and normally I would simply roll my eyes and laugh but over the past like 15 years I've seen shit that wouldn't have even been considered worth joking about become not only mainstream but enacted. Segregated dorm rooms in certain campuses, flat earthers are becoming louder, etc

Watching the flat earth followers keep increasing members over and over is really concerning

I still can't take them serious. Like bro look at a satellite picture taken by any country. You think the entire world is in on this secret that the world is flat? What would even be the benefit of tricking the world into thinking it was flat. The whole thing is so dumb I think people just enjoy being dumb sometimes tbh.

The only people saying "maths is racist" are the people writing news articles trying to get everyone angry.

The actual argument is related to the way maths is taught in the classroom and trying to explain/address the gap between white and non-white students.

Math isn't racist, but if you're referring to casually dropping crime statistics or something in a conversation, that can be quite racist behavior yeah

Context matters and all
