It's fact that until the West decided to give away it's manufacturing industries. Europeans had for the last 2000 years more or less ruled the world or didn't know it was there or didn't bother to venture into it.

I'm leaving out the Ancient Greece contribution, which included Alexander the Great marching across most of the ME right up to the India, where he got beat. The only time.

The Roman Empire kicked off Europe's dominance. Apart from a brief period when the Mongols ruled most of Asia, Europeans have been the dominant race.

Today any race can rise to the top. By adopting standards set by Europeans. Apart from physical or music.

Why? Well, that's the interesting question.

I married a mid-European and a Filipino, have dated two orientals and three black girls. I look at people for who they are, not the colour of the their skin. Which is what most of those protesting are doing.
