Just tried to catch up on 'racist math' . Supposedly there is a video of black students somewhere objecting to the way fractions were being taught at that moment in class, claiming racism. I can't find this video by searching on the internet. What I found , instead, exclusively, was video after video mocking the whole idea.

This ridiculous theory that math is racist cannot show it's face in the real world

In the world of Academia, however, it is alive and well. Tons of stuff like the below come up.

Mathematics isn't racist. Perhaps the way we teach math is. Don't confuse the two.

Math itself isn't racist
The quality of schools and teachers and class size teaching math can be racist
Shouldn't children in the poor sectors of a city receive the same quality education as the rich suburbs regarding the subject of math

Do you think more rightys then lefties believe the world is flat. I don't know but if I was betting, it would be rightys lol

what culture eats cat?


>>>


The Associated Press reported in 2008 that people in southern China's Guangdong province (population just over 113 million) ate 10,000 cats per day. In Guangdong, cat meat is a main ingredient in the traditional dish "dragon, tiger, phoenix" (snake, cat, chicken), which is said to fortify the body.

One might think Hindus are vegetarians, but apparently not an absolute in all versions of it. They respect a cow in the road and all that.

This guy has a funny bit on that.

From Quora.

I've heard about the sitting up, but not in this context.

Quote:
Do bodies move in cremation?
Yes, they will often times start to sit up. Then there is a ‘pop” and the body will collapse back down on to the surface it's laying on.

Most crematories require that the body be placed in a cardboard box prior to being places into the oven. This prevents you from seeing this happen. However, one of the funeral homes I worked in, the cardboard box was a flat piece of cardboard. Like the old Little Caesars Pizza used to come on. When we would start the 2nd cremation, the ovens were still so hot that many times the body would catch fire while sliding them in the oven. Once they were in and the fire doors secured. We could hustle around to the portal and look in usually just before the “pop” so the deceased would appear to be sitting there on fire.
