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.
