Don't forget math is racist
Dialogue
Overview
This is a drawn single-panel meme showing two women conversing. On the left is a Black woman with curly dark hair, large hoop earrings, and a black off-shoulder top. On the right is a blonde white woman wearing a blue top with daisy patterns. The left woman says to the right woman: 'OMG your kids look exactly alike!', and the right woman replies with a deadpan expression: 'That's because they have the same dad'. The joke subverts the expected innocent explanation for children looking similar, implying the woman was unfaithful to her partners, as all her children share the same biological father even if she claimed they had different fathers. The original title adds a layer of sarcasm, ironically framing this obvious logical conclusion as racist to mock online discourse that often labels neutral factual statements as discriminatory for performative reasons.
Origin notes
This meme was originally shared on the social platform 9Gag, with the official original title provided as 'Don't forget math is racist'. It circulates as a satirical dark humor meme referencing both infidelity tropes and controversial online social justice discourse.

The top panel shows Syndrome with curly red hair, wearing a red and gold suit, displaying an anxious expression while clasping his hands. Overlaid text reads: 'There is no [blacked out] there is no [blacked out].' The bottom panel shows the same character with a more intense, defiant expression, leaning forward, with overlaid text: 'and there is no Epstein list.' The meme uses sarcasm to reference the controversial 'Epstein list' conspiracy theory by depicting Syndrome denying its existence, leveraging his villainous persona from the original film.](https://gagbase.com/i/c/memes/3b/d6/55/8b/3bd6558bae1d0e9aa384ff243b4dad65.jpeg.webp)
![An edited screenshot from the animated TV show 'The Simpsons' featuring a character with a shocked expression, holding two white squares each displaying the number '0'. Behind the character is a partial sign reading 'DAYS WITHOUT'. Prominently overlaid in bold yellow and white text is 'IDIOCACY BECOMING REALITY'. The meme humorously repurposes the '0 days without [incident]' format—typically used in workplaces to track safety streaks—to satirize the frequent perception that the 2006 film 'Idiocracy' (which depicts a dystopian future of societal decline) is increasingly reflecting现实.](https://gagbase.com/i/c/memes/74/ef/9d/6f/74ef9d6f0896a3e35468ec49936ff372.jpeg.webp)
