Math is hard for some, and easy for others. There are so many different levels of math. You have simple addition to start off. Then into subtraction, multiplication and division. Then the full BEMDAS/PEMDAS with exponents and brackets/parenthesis. But it goes beyond that into trigonometry, calculus and more.
The BEMDAS/PEMDAS are basics that everyone should understand. Yet, some don't. Even worse, some are so confused that they deny the simple operations of addition. That's the false perception that some deranged social justice warriors have.
There is a BLM supporter who is openly stated that 2+2 only equal 4 because of Western iperalism. Not because that a reality.
Nope the idea of 2 + 2 equaling 4 is cultural and because of western imperialism/colonization, we think of it as the only way of knowing.

And this person is a teacher. A teacher! Imagine getting taught by this person. Imagine how many minds she will twist into mush with her nonsense. A PhD student. Is this person even capable of thinking at a PhD level? It must be some garbage thesis she is going to prove.
Is this type of thinking how we get Idiocracy or 1984? When will the madness end. Math is racist now, number are next.
People are being fired for stating facts from data-based studies that go against the current hyped up narrative about systemic racism that doesn't exist. Reality doesn't matter. Only beliefs matter.
You can't speak what reality shows and keep your job in academia. But you can speak nonsense and the universities have no problem. Wonderful standards we are setting for the century and millennium.

lol I actually wrote about the topic before I read your post. The girl is right.

No. You take a pencil, and you group it with another pencil. Guess what, there are 2 of them. You take two of those groups and you get 4. Create new symbols to reference those numbers, whatever, the math is still the math.
you add 2 hungry wolfs and 2 chickens, you won't have 4 animals for long.
BLM is against police brutality.
What's your point?
I mean, those are the sentiments of the protesters. The organisation might be out there standing for something else and this PhD person is just adding Extra things to protest for.
BLM should focus on one topic even though there are many issues to deal with, that is not to say the LGBTQ community doesn't matter and “their maths problem” doesn't matter but they should focus.
Because people are on the street protesting for what they don't believe in now and that dumb.
