      in case some people don’t know: algebra actually comes from the Arabic word “al-jabr”.

        I legit never heard the word sinophobia and I thought it was a trigonometry joke.

        I guess we need a joke that combines math and racism then.

        It’s the 0th cause of Indophobia?

        Sorry, didn’t mean to go off on a tangent.
