「On many levels, mathematics itself operates as Whiteness.Who gets credit for doing and developing mathematics, who is capable in mathematics, and who is seen as part of the mathematical community is generally viewed as White,」
Gutiérrez also worries that algebra and geometry perpetuate privilege, fretting that 「curricula emphasizing terms like Pythagorean theorem and pi perpetuate a perception that mathematics was largely developed by Greeks and other Europeans."
Math also helps actively perpetuate white privilege too, since the way our economy places a premium on math skills gives math a form of 「unearned privilege」 for math professors, who are disproportionately white.
「Are we really that smart just because we do mathematics?」 she asks, further wondering why math professors get more research grants than 「social studies or English」 professors.
（我不知道是不是學數學讓人聰明，但我知道「You are really that dumbass just because you didn』t do enough math.」不用考慮上下文，光截出來的這部分已經足夠證明大部分「XX study」為名的學科是浪費錢的了。想要津貼去爭取啊，在這酸數學教授是個什麼意思？）

Further, she also worries that evaluations of math skills can perpetuate discrimination against minorities, especially if they do worse than their white counterparts.
「If one is not viewed as mathematical, there will always be a sense of inferiority that can be summoned,」 she says, adding that there are so many minorities who 「have experienced microaggressions from participating in math classrooms… [where people are] judged by whether they can reason abstractly.」

IMO hall of fame. 德國，東歐，俄羅斯，美國，加拿大確實是白人國家。但是好多都是亞裔誒
