I do agree, however, with the guy in the video that this is a terrible "conspiracy."
True, it wasn't the math itself that was biased, but when explaining this mathmatical process, distribution of money simply seemed like the simplest way to explain it.
Honestly, I think this is what you see a lot of in fringe groups: they believe they're oppressed at every turn so they go out of their way to find oppression at every turn. Sure enough, if you look hard enough for something, you're going to find it. Kinda reminds me of the relationship Atheism+ has with the patriarchy.
