The Mongol Empire was the most racially diverse empire to ever conquer half the known world, and you can be sure if a man improperly calculated a discount when selling socks to Genghis Khan he would not be making a blog on the internet with the implication that his entire people were bad at simple arithmetic. 5/5 | ||

This guy is clearly an American trying to hustle money out of you, because we all know only American math can be that bad. As an American, I know first hand. 4/3 people at my school failed math! Good one. I actually laughed out loud reading it! | ||

He got excited and said "you can get a discount! $10 for 3 pairs!" I said no, I only need 1 pair, and he was like "oh, 1 pair is $3." I guess they don't teach math in Mongolia That's called generalization | ||

But I really think he hussled you good. I'm pretty sure he realized the math is wrong if he was an international student and all. | ||

Also the title clearly says "lol mongolians" which is pretty much generalizing the entire population. Just saying, don't defend the fact that you didn't make a generalization, defend why you did it and give good reason. I'm a neutral party. How are the socks? | ||
