Oh do me a fucking favour. Non-white men have built cities and civilisations for 10,000 years, hewn staggering beauty from jungle, from plains, from desert and mountains, in Giza, Mexico, India, China and elsewhere.

250 years ago a bunch of Europeans stumbled on cheap coal and condensing boilers and crop rotation - those gifts gave to the whole world and it's future - but not because our ancestors were white, just because they were in the right place at the right time.

I am really hoping you were trolling for the lolz.



While I'm collecting downvotes: wheren't many of them also white in India, even before the European expansion?


Weren't they white in Giza?
