I've got bad news for you. The race concept doesn't help one bit in cultural sense. You can get any group of people and install a culture which prefers certain traits/behavioral patterns over others. Over some centuries, you're going to get a "civilization" in your sense. You could do that with any group of homo sapiens.
The other point people in developed countries fail to see we aren't inherently better than other cultures (omitting the word race because not helpful at all). Until 16th century, Europe resided in dark middle ages. Thanks to guns, gunpowder and coloniazation (gun powder was invented and used in China first, oh, the irony), we had vaste amount if resources to "develop" our cultures. Basically, our ancestors exploited the recources around the globe and used cheap labour to enrich themselves. Those were the glorious 500 years of the so called Caucasian race ( what an idiotic term still prevalent in the US lol). In the long history of civilization, China has always been the super power n1 followed by India, middle east and southern Europe.
So what's happening now? People in developing countries will stop doing cheap labour for us so we could sit back and act how superior we are to them (JESS dude, I am talking about you). Our way of life isn't sustainable because we destroy natural resources, throw half of the food away for not being "fresh" or "expired", waste water (most precious natural resource), became so sefish that coexisting with other people is regarded as a problem in modern society. Family ties are loose as hell. To top it all, we or better said the likes of you expect other cultures to assimilate our destructive elements because "we know better than them". Nope, we're a decadent generation walking towards our own doom.
Our children will hopefuly rebuild a new sustainable, western culture which can coexist in peace with the other ones on planet earth and will be able to assimilate/contribute elements to or from other ones. I'll do my part.
You are just another run of the mill self-hating white person who hates both himself and his race. You verbally flogged your race, but you didn't answer my question--do you agree with me that it should be ok to openly discuss about the many ways in which the races differ from one another?
