I don't understand his example. He says "math can't be racist" but the story he cited is that the person who made that statement was corrected and overwhelmingly condemned. So no one is falling for that but he seems to complain they are.

Regardless - math can absolutely be racist - that is not up for dispute. Especially when it has trained on racist input.
