Scanned the article and went to the comments section. 2-3 minutes reading some of that tripe and I think both my IQ and testosterone levels dropped 20%. Had to close the link before I grew a vagina, started drinking Starbucks, and lounging around in my pajamas writing a blog..

Beat me to it. I don't understand how math is impacted by 'whiteness' when it is one of the most universal 'languages' out there. No matter what language or how you write it, math is communicable. I don't see any claims of racism against Indians, who developed math along with the Sumerians and Greeks.

Or is their version of mathematics the so-called 'discovery' math?
