Now 2 + 2 does not necessarily = 4.
First you have to establish if both 2's are OK with being identified as binary values. Maybe one of the 2's doesnt really feel very 2y today. You have to nail that down, and then find out if the 4 is OK with being related to the couple of 2's in question. Have either of the 2's offended the 4? Is the 4 lording his higher position of ordinality over the 2's like he has ordinal privilege?
Today we have to be careful that our mathematical equations are sensitive to the members involved.
We should never presume the beliefs and behavior of individual numbers.
Each one is different, like a floating snowflake.
Thank you for your time.
You may return to your self torment over your guilt for being white.
