Долгое время фашисты издевались по поводу математики и 2 + 2 = 4 и вот получен мощный решительный ответ от некоей училки of color, что 2 + 2 = 4 это просто вопрос культуры, на самом деле вопрос гораздо шырше, но колониализм не хочет этого признавать.
Зачитайте, там много перлов типа Math isn't objective either. It's always down to interpretation.
Им бы разбить компьютеры, которые сделаны на основе 2 + 2 = 4, но что-то не спешат.
А теперь представьте, что такое чмо учит детей в школе.

Ну а "Вашингтон компост" озаботился расизмом классической музыки. Но, кстати, что делают певуны оф калар в классической музыке? Не культурная аппроприация ли это?

С классической музьікой все можно порешать: Was Beethoven black? Twitter debates German composer’s true heritage. Рецепт может оказаться хорош и для математики.

Передать авторство и авторские права на классику блек комьюнити. И вьіплатить компенсации за всю украденную и присвоенную бельіми европейскую музьіку и культуру.

Это они еще про легендарного person of color Пушкина не раскопали, иначе ввели бы его изучение во всех прогрессивных странах. Да здравствует русская поэзия, самая прогрессивная в мире с 1799 года :)

Well, I rather agree. Math is down to interpretation. Logic is down to interpretation. Whether 0 is a natural number, is a funny cultural and historical question, where the European tradition was just wrong.

The number zero is racist because it is used to denigrate (ahem) the achievements of people who are not able to understand how to count with zero. If some people cannot understand that 1 - 1 = 0, it's because mathematics belongs to the western system of white supremacy and oppression.

The last statement is objectively true, even though every statement is down to interpretation. There is no contradiction here, and you are racist if you disagree. ;)

I actually agree. The whole European math was based on Ancient Greeks, and they were not aware of 0's "existence". The Indians were. And that's how in Pascal, indexes start with 1. Deutschen Wissenschaftler!

Array indexes starting with 1 is due to white privilege that assumes that one cannot possibly have nothing (zero); one is always affluent enough to at least have 1. But indexes starting with 0 is a cultural appropriation unless the programmer is from India! So, only Indian programmers are properly allowed to use C, C++, Java and other zero-based languages. "Using zero-based arrays while white" should be a syntax error.

The while white suffix is important. But since it's a blocking bug, coding should be outsourced to Bangalore. They know better.

"Don't repeat yourself" (DRY) is a principle that is specific to white culture. Indian programmers should be at liberty to copy/paste code. It is racist to impose this frugal DRY requirement on minorities whose live experience in poverty has already forced them to suffer from shortages of all kinds.

There's an even worse principle, YAGNI. Telling poor programming people what they are not going to need.
