These decision makers are so delusional after all this brainwashing mental gymnastics that their only explanation of why black people are bad at maths is because math is racist. Asians are machines, indians are all hardworking engineers, hispanics are doing fine, but black people struggle. Don't get me wrong, it's just a normal distribution, but that's what you get when you accept so many immigrants in a country. They pull the mean down and we have to adjust to them otherwise we are racist.
These people are just mislead, thinking the best option to bring the math strugglers up is to dumb it down, but we'll be a much weaker society if we lower the standard for education
Our numeral system and the word (and study of) algebra are directly from Arabs.
Our "mathematics" are not based on "white people" at all but on the system developed by the Arabs. The Greek mathematics were all based on shapes which our current notations and systems rarely if ever use anymore.
The point I was trying to make was that our current math system was not built solely by "whites." It was stongly influenced by many different racial groups. "Mathematics was invented by white people" is objectively false as both our numerals and the fundamental way of thinking about numbers and formulas (algebra) was developed by arabs.
My point is: We shouldn't cancel math "because it's racist" because math ISN'T racist. And has never been. Geniuses can come in any skin colour and merit/intelligence is all that matters.
