I misread: “math is not racists” - I read “math is not sexist” (implying that girls are naturally not good at math).

I’m not aware of ”math is not racist” so I do not know what it means.



Ah, that makes more sense. (And "math is not racist" is usually said by people who are claiming that racial differences in average math test scores are caused by something other than racism in the subject matter or teaching style, such as disparate rates of poverty, quality of school districts, etc.)
