      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.

      It probably happened before you even saw the meme.

      Fox News is gonna run a piece on how we must eliminate Arabic numerals from American society. Your family will be talking about this travesty at Thanksgiving.

    Funny that in Chinese, I literally have always known it as 阿拉伯數字 (Arabic Numerals).

    I’m starting to realize more and more how much the Chinese Language is just simply better at teaching concepts.

    Disclaimer, I am ethnic Chinese, but I’m totally not biased at all :D


    Edit:

    Also, while we’re on the topic of Numerals, teach Chinese Numbers as well, its literally one syllable per character, much easier to pronounce and remember.

    English has become my primary language, but I still often find myself counting in Chinese (Cantonese).

      They’re definitely known as Arabic numerals elsewhere too. It’s mentioned in Math class fairly early on when Roman numerals are also introduced. I’m sure that even in American schools, it’s mentioned that they’re called Arabic numerals.

      Unless you mean that in Chinese there’s just no word for “numbers” and you have to use the name of the specific system?

        I mean, I’ve personally never heard of the term “Arabic Numeral” being uttered in a classroom from 2nd grade all the way through Highschool in the US Schools I’ve went to. It’s just “write the numbers in words” or in “numbers/digits”.

        I once said “Arabic Numerals” in class (US), and my classmates thought I was trying to be racist… like… bruh… that’s literally what these nunbers are called…

        So yeah… I never used that term once again.

      Chinese/Japanese characters have kindof always led to good student outcomes in wrote memorization because of the necessity of pattern recognition. With an alphabet there’s simply less to learn, and you don’t have much context since etymology in alphabet based languages is so much more esoteric.

      Also, Americans aren’t really taught much about technology from outside of the American sphere of influence. American schooling has a lot of dead zones.
