Article here. Excerpt:

'A University of Hawaii math professor has urged every white man to quit their job or take a demotion and deemed those who disagree with her proposition as racist, sexist and transphobic.

Piper Harron, an assistant professor at the University of Hawaii who holds a PhD degree in mathematics from Princeton University, has penned an article for the American Mathematical Society (AMS) blog, calling on white men to “Get Out The Way”.
...
"Statistically speaking, you are probably taking up room that should go to someone else.”

“If you are a white cis man (meaning you identify as male and you were assigned male at birth) you almost certainly should resign from your position of power,” the professor added.'

She thinks that struggling to complete a degree is a phenomenon exclusive to nonwhites and women. Well, I can tell you, as a white working class man who had access to far fewer grants and scholarships than nonwhites and women, and who had contemplated suicide too many times to count throughout university, she is very wrong.

And by the way, a little math lesson for her. If the majority of people are white in a country, the majority of hires are almost always going to be white too. And in a field like STEM, which men show far more interest in, more men are going to be hired. She can just deal with that.

It is beyond me how someone who is clearly controlled and driven by emotion, and completely illogical, would be able to get a PhD in math.

The good news is her pipe dream will never come to fruition. I'm quite sure that if they only hired nonwhites, women, and trans people to teach math, not only would they not have enough instructors, but the quality of instruction would suffer so much that the university would become a laughing stock (which is usually what happens when you don't hire based on merit).

... white men. The field of mathematics was invented by men in general. Universities were invented by men. The job market was invented by men. Much of modern life is the product of mostly-white male ingenuity and labor.

But never use facts when talking to identity-obsessed feminists. They don't understand facts or respect them. This is why ultimately their behavior and ideology are self-defeating. Ideas out of touch with reality lead to behaviors that naturally bring about their own destruction.
