Math is racist, Western centric and makes disadvantaged people feel bad.

Victims of racism usually don't realize they construct the basis for that racism by avoiding learning things (like math) they need to compete in life. Uncompetitive people of any color get disadvantaged. They made a movie about a ghetto teacher that forced kids to learn math. I wonder how they turned out. If they were successful it might make a good sequel. Otherwise, maybe the racists are right. A lot of people prefer it that way. I'd bet on the kids.
