Nigga what?
I should fucking hope so. Learning one math is hard enough without there being other maths.
Johnny has three apples. Naqueeshaw pulls a gat on him and robs his white ass 'cause she black. Johnny runs away with one apple left in his fanny pack to report to the cops that black people be trippin'. How many apples does Johnny report were stolen?
Seriously, what the heck is a racist word problem that actually exists in academia?
Ah.
Well if that's the issue, then invented words should work equally as well, while simultaneously trimming the less intelligent from the pack.
"A squan begins its 90km jiit at 20 km/q, but finish in just 5 q. Assuming it never changes rate except at exactly 2.7 q, what is the rate they finish at?"
It will let smart people easily answer the question, and teach dumb people to simplify problems down to their core math components. So I can see the complaint if they're making it needlessly wordy without purpose to doing so. Still, it is overall a very dumb complaint, since math is not about word choices for anything less than maybe a doctorate-level course.
(EDIT: Because I know some people on this board are going to do it, the answer to the problem is ~15.652km/q.)
There are many other maths.
The is only one "mathematics" that covers all the possible methods of reaching identical answers for the same problem. They want incorrect answers to be accepted based on feelings because being correct takes effort.
You know what do I mean - there are many branches of mathematics that are not taught in school.
I do, but do you know what SarcasticRidley means? Nobody is making the argument that schools teach all branches or methods of maths. The issue is people deliberately teaching woke maths that doesn't work- that is the "other" maths.
