Let me guess, the only good Arabic number, is a deported Arabic number. Another guess, American number system is the best, we don’t need no foreign numbers. Except for the fact that our number system is based on Arabic numbers because, nothing was invented until we wiped out the native Americans, took their land and then we invented everything under the sun and it’s all anyone should use. Period end of discussion. The arrogance is astounding.
ALL kinds in the state of NY?! He’s just the mayor of one tiny area. Come on people, get real!

To be fair, it’s less an IQ test and more a test of trivia. Unless you’re taught that the numbers used in English are “Arabic Numerals,” you’re not going to know what Arabic numerals are. Of course, the moment you find out about something you didn’t know about before, the best course of action is to learn about it before spewing out some knee-jerk reaction online. In saying that, this kind of joke has been popular for years, so many major right wing figures should be aware of it.

I wish I could say I’ve never seen this before. I also wish I could say my family didn’t lose their absolute minds talking about how the Muslims were taking over the country…their faces when I told them to do a quick Google search for Arabic numerals…
