So... That Italian economist story. Wow. Doing calculus while racially ambiguous. There's so much to unpack. Too much, really.
-
-
That's the thing too: the tendency to group a whole bunch of different people together. Even an Italian with a suntan in the mix now too.
-
And then there's the whole math thing. 2+2=4. Yes an equation's more complicated but... Everyone solves it for the same exact answer.
-
Math. Straight up math. It's objective. You may have a subjective opinion that 2+2=5.8 but you'd be wrong. Except in this case.
-
In this case, a white woman's ignorance of math and fear of dark skin made it so that 2+2=plane hijacker.
-
So this woman's ignorant, racist as fuck subjective opinion won. It won over objective as objective get mathematics.
-
Which goes to the broader point of objectivity. And whether anything can ever be objective if a person with darker skin is involved.
-
And the answer is no. Whites never assume we can be objective about anything. It's an unconscious bias assumed against people of color.

*slightly darker skinned man does math* "MUST be dangerous monster stop him please before he kills me is Guantanamo still taking them?"
