You're so right! It's even way more oppressive than that. Math was invented by the Greeks, who had all this leisure time because they had great hordes of helots doing all their work for them. The Greeks who resisted the successful and egalitarian Persian civilization. The Greeks who brought brutal war and conquest from Sicily to Turkey. Who in their folly and pride spawned the bloodthirsty Alexander who ran around the world killing everybody he could find.

Then it was stolen by the Romans who enslaved the Greeks, who for a thousand years wielded their learned Greek thralls to keep all of Europe in bloody bondage, by Roman projection of commercial and engineering prowess. A fat lot of good it did the Romans, when all the peace-loving native barbarian tribes afflicted by global climate change overthrew the Romans who refused to share their lands. Justice!

Then it was kept alive by the great Muslim civilizations, who after 600 years of suppression by the Romans, the converted Jews finally found peace and were able to preserve and advance the sciences under the benevolent wisdom of the Caliphs, from Baghdad to al-Andalus. Math and science were not used for commerce and hegemony, but as a celebration of the transcendent gifts of Allah.

Then the dirty and cruel barbarian Crusaders stole it and brought it back to Europe. With this cultural appropriation and thievery on a grand scale, the greedy Europeans in their so-called rebirth set about enslaving and colonizing the entire world. They delighted in inventing ever more nefarious and destructive devices of divers kinds. European-spawned diseases like smallpox and cholera and plague were just another means to keep the non-whites in perpetual thrall. Murder became industrialized on an unimaginable scale, and the Euros exported their evility and bloodlust to the entire world in two great wars.

It has been six hundred years of this plunder and tyranny and terror. By historical precedent, the entire world is now poised to overthrow the cruel and unjust tyranny of the cishet white Euro males who with unquenchable malice wield this unearned and stolen Ring of Power.

If there is an Arc of History, it bends toward Justice! Math and Science will soon be returned to the only Owners who have earned the right to possess it by their demonstrated nobility and benevolence. Aloha snackbar!
