It's a very American thing to have strong opinions on matters you know nothing about. It's also a very American thing to be, well, racist. I think that's what's happening here. In this case the racism is obvious: Asian mathematicians largely concur that the proof is correct, whereas white Americans do not, and the implicit assumption made in each article here is that white Americans are the sole arbiters of mathematical truth.

The rational thing to do in these circumstances is to just not have a strong opinion on the matter. No one here understands Mochizuki's work. No one understands Scholze's and Stix's criticisms. No one understands Mochizuki's responses. So it's odd the commenters here are authoritatively asserting that the proof is incorrect. Sorry, but I can't attribute that to anything other than pure racism.
