> being a rich white man [...] don’t work to prove your point because duh they aren’t related to math.

Historically, being a rich white man is related to math:

  - elite European men historically had better access to education
  - many famous mathematicians came from wealthy backgrounds
  - historical math societies were almost entirely composed of rich white men
  - math advanced in navigation, trade and military which were historically occupied by men
  - when circumstance didn't, rich white men historically excluded women and colored people
