The Wow I Can't Believe That News Story Thread

Plus, the obsession with coming up with the exact number at the end of a math problem instead of demonstrating an ability to understand the process is from what I’ve seen an almost uniquely American way to teach mathematics. They don’t obsess over the final number in Korea or Japan the way American teachers do. And it’s not like American teachers don’t represent a classist white hegemony.

This is a typical case of some dip**** journalist writing about **** they know nothing about and presenting it in a way that makes it look like liberal lunacy.

What if the teachers are black tho.

It's Oregan. I'm sure even the math is racist.

Nobody hates blacks more than other blacks. Black women be throwing that pussy up at rich black guys and they’re like nope, whites only please.

Oregon math is fine with black people as long as they don’t insist on actually moving into the neighborhood. That’s the entire west coast. All the STEM related fields and subjects are white supremacists. Just check the demographics of Silicon Valley if you don’t believe it.

That's definitely true. And sexist too of course, but in my experience the sexism thing is improving much faster than the racism. Studying anything STEM is still a white sausagefest.
It's partly managing to make even math subjective by teaching it badly for the reasons you mentioned, but I also think part of the problem is that there's a huge stigma around those subjects, so many people don't even consider it.

This is a fact.

Same parental wealth and income. Same testing markers for aptitude. Same grades.

White kid tells the counselor “I’m thinking of going to college to study biology” counselor says great idea.

Black kid does the same thing and it’s “Maybe you’d be better off learning a trade”

Yeah that doesn't surprise me. Disgusting.

I don’t know **** about Europe but in America it’s the same ****ing thing with brokerage firms and that entire culture on Wall Street. They even prefer to hire a white dude who played Lacrosse in college over a white guy who played football because Lacrosse is whiter.



People might not believe me but it is like that.

But what kills me is they’re twice as exclusionary as a typical white farmer in Alabama. They’ll hire any mother****er that can do the work. But people hate on the rural white southerner. People who don’t know **** about it.

So would this then be a math problem in Oregon?

"If there are six white families in a neighbour hood and one black family moves in, work out how long, in minutes or seconds, your choice, it will take the local law enforcement to reduce the coefficient back to its original value"?
