Can someone explain to me how 2+2=4 is racist?

I keep seeing these flyers that 2+2=4 is a racist microagression. What am I missing here? How is a mathematical equation racist?

A certain demographic has historically been horrible at math. So it's now deemed "racist" if you're good at math. (Ded fkn Srs)

Same reason why the phrase "It's okay to be white" is considered racist.


It's because they want to tear down everything the west has accomplished.

Math is the least racist field there is. Glad to clear that up. The objects are immutable regardless of what you call them or who described them. They formally come into existence by whoever names them, but the relationships are there automatically. In this sense, math is invented and also discovered. It is not unique to humanity.

What is ironic is that many of you defending math have never studied it in any appreciable detail and have absolutely no respect for it beyond how you can use it to further your political agendas. But math welcomes your defense. It is sacred and more important than anything else. Math is Truth with a capital T.

Yup, I’m just making this up from my fantastical imagination.

Try Google Red, and come back and tell me that I’m delusional.

I see it as a more general political bent that "Although 2+2=4, there are oppressive and unfair circumstances leading to the situation where this equation is being considered. So it's not as simple as 2+2=4"

Some people see it as a general tear down of language and a priori knowledge. Pushing the idea that anything we generally accept as true may not be. There is no objective reality only competing systems of power and oppression, and we should re-frame our definitions under some alternative political lens.

As others said, the most likely explanation is that you saw this on Twitter and ran with it. I will never understand why you guys post stupid questions instead of just talking about what you want to talk about and being normal.
