America's Fake White People

[yardwork]

1. I need to quibble a little.

Muslim cultures invented a lot of math and science (note that al-gebra is an Arabic word), including medicine and health care at a time when Europe was way behind. China and India are ancient seats of science, philosophy, and the arts. Democracy was invented, arguably, by Greek people who probably wouldn't be considered "white."

Northern Europeans began a rampage about 500 years ago, invading the rest of the globe and accelerating the industrial revolution. No question that has made life a lot easier for many people, but it's not clear that the planet will survive it.
