Drag queen Kyne Santos uses her love of math and TikTok to fight racism: 'Funny how the people using math to support their racism are hardly ever mathematicians.' - NBCAsianAmerica
“The classic question that people ask in school is, ‘When am I ever going to need this?’ And that is a question that I try to answer in my videos,” she said.
Growing up in a Filipino household, Santos said the way math and academics were talked about at home was what made her want to pursue it as a degree., Kyne said she doesn’t really see it play out in her own life. While Santos and her family share a love of math, they didn’t always agree when it came to her doing drag.
“In the Philippines, where we come from, gay people are always the butt of every joke. They wanted me to have a life and have a little more respect,” she said.
