This series of statements shows the progression of a closed mind to an open one. Pick your own jumping off point.
1. "The X are so stupid! They don't even know 2+2=4!"
2. "Actually, the X are as good at math as anyone else."
3. "The X have had less access to math learning resources, so don't be so quick to assume they're stupid for not knowing math."
4. "The X have an alternate, equally valid, numbering system in which 2+2=5. Both answers are 'correct.'"
5. "2+2=4 is an oppressive system used to elevate the privileged white male! Anyone who says 2+2=4 is wrong!"
6. "The Z are so stupid. They actually think 2+2=4!"
I'm around a 3? I think? When I start running into 5s and 6s I know I've spent too much time on the internet.
