👉 "Hate math" refers to the use of mathematical concepts and language in a way that promotes or reinforces prejudice, discrimination, or hate speech. This can manifest in various forms, such as using statistical data to justify stereotypes, employing biased algorithms that disproportionately affect certain groups, or even creating mathematical proofs that subtly or overtly marginalize specific communities. The underlying logic often relies on flawed assumptions, selective data interpretation, or the misapplication of mathematical principles to support harmful narratives. For example, a study might show a correlation between a demographic group and a negative outcome, but failing to account for confounding variables or biases in data collection can lead to misleading conclusions that fuel discrimination. The insidious nature of hate math lies in its ability to cloak prejudice in the guise of objectivity, making it difficult to recognize and challenge.
