A math education professor at the University of Illinois says the ability
to solve geometry and algebra problems and teaching such subjects
perpetuates so-called white privilege.

Rochelle Gutierrez laid out her views on the subject in an article for a newly published anthology for math educators titled, “Building Support for Scholarly Practices in Mathematics Methods.”

“School mathematics curricula emphasizing terms like Pythagorean Theorem and pi perpetuate a perception that mathematics was largely developed by Greeks and other Europeans," she says, according to Campus Reform.

Math and science skills have been going downhill ever since Brown vs. Board
of Education. Textbooks had to be re-written and dumbed-down to accommodate IQ-85 blacks and Hispanics: "[T]echnical workers at Google, Microsoft,
Facebook and Twitter, according to the companies’ diversity reports, are on average 56 percent white, 37 percent Asian, 3 percent Hispanic and 1 percent black": http://tinyurl.com/yd6gve8n
