Resumen
Although mathematics is often described as race-neutral and color-blind, data on the achievement gap and lived experiences of marginalized populations indicates otherwise. This article problematizes widely held views of meritocracy and color-blindness in mathematics education, exploring the origins of these beliefs, and the potential to disrupt them. The author utilizes his own experience in evolving his classroom practice as a function of his beliefs of mathematics, and teaching and learning mathematics, to provide a specific context in which to situate the literature base. Critical race theory is incorporated as a lens to understand the power structures associated with these stock stories.
