    So… algebra, alchemy, algorithms, all that cool stuff that kind of formed the building blocks of modern science and math are just… what, fantasy concepts?

    From: https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/us-health-chief-rfk-jr-faces-widespread-rebuke-over-his-anti-arab-remarks-2026-10-27/

    “There’s 500 million Arabs in the world, and yet they don’t produce science, they don’t win the Nobel Prize, they don’t win the Fields prize, they don’t win ⁠the Wolf Prize, they don’t produce literature,” the US health chief said.

    Arabs have won all those prizes. Peter Hotez, who is a professor at the Baylor College of Medicine and specializes in vaccine development and tropical medicine, said his late colleague, Nobel Prize winner Ahmed Zewail, who was Arab and died in 2016, “would disagree” with the US health chief’s comments.

      Since 2015 we don’t hide our racism anymore! I mean of course we say we aren’t racist, but every other thing is okay to say.

      Bold of him to being up the Nobel Prize. When his boss hears that term he instantly throws a full-on toddler hissy fit.

    Uh what? lol.

    Apparently, this satirical news: Mamdani to introduce rules requiring schools to teach ‘Arabic numerals’ pissed a bunch of people off.

    It’s ridiculous, obviously, but some people are far more racist than rational.

    Where the absolute blue fuck do these people think mathematics came from? I’ll wait.
