Asians are not inherently smarter than anybody. They just sacrifice their entire lives for academics.

Done by a well respected black man, who is an inspiration to the black youth.

So how is it "racist"? I was told, here on the IC, it's impossible for blacks to be racist.

The bolded doesn't mean he can't be a dumbass.

And the belief that Blacks can't be racist is a racist belief.

Anti-racist mathematics education is primarily concerned with the way in which mathematics is taught, although it also examines the contents of the curriculum in as much as this might reasonably differ from universally acceptable mathematical education.[citation needed] An anti-racist approach to mathematics education could include any or all of the following:

Discussion of the mathematical knowledge of ancient civilizations outside of Europe, and non-European contributions to mathematical knowledge and discovery.

The avoidance of racial stereotyping when forming and communicating expectations of pupils' attainments in mathematics.

The avoidance of racial stereotypes or cultural bias in classroom materials, textbooks, coursework topics and examination questions. For example, common non-European names, such as C'haim (Jewish), could be used in story problems, rather than common European names, like Mary or Emily.

Effective and unprejudiced methods of distinguishing between the merits of individuals.

Support of notion that mathematics is a subjective discipline (i.e., answers to mathematical problems are open to interpretation based on what ethnic branch of mathematics is used).[citation needed]

Math started in egypt.

Africans invented math, science, astrology, philosophy, hell mufuckin civilization. Who do you think the Greeks learned it from? Come on black people wake the fuck up. Every black and brown child should no that shit. You had a vast, rich history before slavery. Go look up some shit.

The Native Americans taught the Europeans how to bathe.
