On the downside, of course, the Fox audience will take this as more evidence they are being called "racist" by college professors.  Their anger will be channeled into tax cuts for the rich.

Speaking of audience. I has no doubt that you and those of your ilk are Gutierrez's target. As they consider comments such as:

“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,” to be a sensible, well-grounded post.

Quick question:  When you think of math do you see color?
