A math education professor at the University of Illinois says the ability to solve geometry and algebra problems and teaching such subjects perpetuates so-called white privilege.
“School mathematics curricula emphasizing terms like Pythagorean Theorem and pi perpetuate a perception that mathematics was largely developed by Greeks and other Europeans," she says, according to Campus Reform.
“On many levels, mathematics itself operates as whiteness. Who gets credit for doing and developing mathematics, who is capable in mathematics, and who is seen as part of the mathematical community is generally viewed as white,” she writes.
Further, she says mathematics operates with unearned privilege in society, “just like whiteness.”
She should very obviously lose her job. As far as I can tell, I have never heard of someone less qualified to be a math education professor.
Yeah, I am sure Mestizo America is going to be rocketing back to the Moon and shit..
LMFAO
This shit would be funny if it wasn't happening to my country. Now it's just funny at first, and then it's like,
fuck, this is us now..

Print the legend, killjoy.
Guiness contains fish
THE black stuff is clarified with isinglass - a form of gelatine made from the air bladders of fish. It's only a minute amount but technically it's still a fishy pint.

A vegetarian-friendly alternative used in some beers is Irish moss.
All German beers are also safe for veggies because of a law from 1516 which states their beer must contain only four products - hops, water, sugar and yeast.
So its like Worcestershire sauce?
Isn't Worcestershire sauce basically garum?
No man's life, liberty, or property are safe while the legislature is in session

Mostly tamarind and anchovy. Captain Henry Lewis Edwardes brought the recipe back from India. It's a fermented fish sauce like garum but with Indian spices.
Worcester's major contribution to the world is not the sauce but the fact it is where I was born.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

I agree that most of the time licensing is a racket. You don't need to abandon regulations to abandon that stuff. Nobody needs a license to work at Waffle House, but they still have to abide by state health codes.

Should be the final word on the matter.
And she was getting her hair bleached, not dyed. The hairdresser probably messed up the mix so the problem is indeed to do with poor math skills.

Drag the image icon from your desktop to the search query box on Google's website.
edit:
strike that. I think they might have removed or changed the functionality.

That doesn't look like a burn, that looks like a dig with sheers. (Wife has her hair stylist license, to cause a burn like that, you'd have to leave it on there for a bit of time. If that was done correctly, to get a "burn" like that would require bleach to be nearly pure, and the mixture to be more akin to a 1/4 ratio than a 1/2 ratio on average.

According to the original article, it was a burn that was the result of somebody who didn't pay attention in class (or didn't have the requisite training to correctly measure proportions).

In, chrome if you have google as default search provider, right click image and select "Search Google for image" or go to
google image and paste the image url into the searchbox.
You will get this result:
