Other races, particularly the Oriental ones, have thrust themselves forward. Japanese, Chinese and Indian engineers are as good or better than White ones. Their commercial prowess is formidable. Culturally, they are of a different type: inscrutable to Western Man.

But their food is pretty good.
Now if you are going to include Semetics in the White Caucasian racial classification you might as well include
Sub Saharan Afrian American who can Pass For A White Caucasian , that's pretty much the way that the USA has been doing it. But if you are going to include JEWS in the
WHITE CAUCASIAN RACE you better read your BIBLE FIRST
because wasn't ABRAHAM second wife a Black Sub Saharan Woman , and wasn't MOSES First Wife also Black Sub Saharan African and last but not LEAST wasn't KING SOLOMON married to An Sub Saharan Queen Sheba????

JEWS are Middle Eastern Semetic Asian who were taken out of Asia Minor by the Italian (Romans) and spreaded all
through out Europe. Ask yourself this did NAZI GERMANY Attempt to wipe out THE WHITE CAUCASIAN or was it Strictly JUST THE JEWS who are a mixed race.

Ask the same question in 1300 AD, and it is the Mongols who are successful. Ask in 500 AD and the question is "Why are the Chinese so successful" Before that, the Romans. 500 BC it was the Persians.


And the Indians, the Mali, the Egyptians, the Garamantes, etc.
To some extent. Any reasonable examination of Mongol society and culture would show a people well suited to conquer large areas but not suited to assimilate the people there or hold on to these lands for more than a few generations.

In general when you back through time you see that at any given time there's usually a civilization in Europe, the Middle East, and China that an independent observer might reasonably expect to become the dominant one on the planet. I suppose you could at times make a similar case for India. Outside of Carthage, it is hard to put forward an African civilization that you could argue that about. Those in the Americas and Australia were simply too far behind the rest of the world technologically to put forward a serious case for them as world conquerors.

All peoples have myths about their own creation. What Jews were 2000 years ago is irrelevant. Who was whose mother or Queen is a matter of speculation and hardly believed more among Jews than among Gentiles. Most Western Jews are Ashkenazic. They live in western and middle Europe or in America.

Nazis believed Jews to be a different race. Maybe the are, maybe they aren't. If they are it's because many of them lived in conditions of enforced isolation. They are, obviously, a separate religious group and a distinct ethnic group (less obviously). I include Ashkenazic Jews among Whites because they are light skinned and have lived among Whites for millenia. That's sufficient.

Sephardic Jews might be more accurately included with Africans or North Africans or Arabs. I have no idea. It isn't necessary to the subject anyway.

Because we've been on the cutting edge of personal mobility for a long time:

Automobile: Germany (1885)
Airplane: U.S. (1903)
Bicycle: France (1863)
Train: U.K. (1804)
Limited Access Road, aka highway: U.S. 1911

It's difficult to believe this ludicrous thread exists. As far back as I can remember, certain whites at some time or another have tried to prove that whites are superior to everyone else. They have not been successful, but some can't let it drop. For some reason certain pitiful people seem to need reassurance they are better than other people.

I see the roots for this in ancient Greece; carried on by the Hellenistic Romans; who were superseded by the colonial powers with a side show of Germans and Scandinavians; and then crossing the ocean to N. America. Sadly a lot of cultures today are not as advanced as the Greeks of 2,500 years ago, which is another way of saying that multiculturalism is overrated.

We were also taught in school that societies that did not develop written languages were at a huge disadvantage versus those that did. Also advances in weaponry related to smelting and other technologies gave certain groups an upper hand in warfare which translated to more power and influence.

I disagree with natural resources being the reason for European advancement as there are so many places with abundant minerals, fossil fuels, timber, etc. that have not been able to use it to their advantage.

And even the French with all of their failings look positively brilliant compared to many of the backward and bankrupt cultures that exist today:

Seriously? The French contributed TONS to Western Society in terms of mathematics, science, arts, philosophy and military. Have you ever stopped to wonder why so many military words come from French? Did you know the French were our allies during the revolution?

I mean just...

We all know there has been many strong "empires" by many different races but what about the inventions? I see the burj in Dubai had "white" engineers. For some reason as far as inventions goes the white people have done the most, contributed the most. Let's be honest the white people run this world. Huge companies that are all over the world. The clothes most people wear. Creating tons of devices/inventions (followed by East Asians). Having huge empires. Having stong modern countries with great values and laws. The world has really just been shaped SO much by white people. I don't believe we just "got lucky". I'm not sure why tho. East Asians have also been very successful. Not as successful but VERY close. Why has no other people besides East Asians and white people done so much? And Jews are included in white. Look at their DNA, look at them. The ancient middle eastern people were white too, look at their ancient pictures of their people. The Caucasus are close to the Middle East and that is where white people came from so people around there are white too.

And yeah multiculturalism really works... Omg rolling on the floor laughing!!!! That is hilarious. Take your rose colored glasses off and look around! So many genocides because of race, look at Europe where it has segregated Muslim areas, look in the states at the segregated black communities, just really WAKE UP! People can't get along with people with diffrent political views, I doubt they can get along with a COMPELTLY different culture, with different values, languages, foods, religion ETC.

That's true. Germany's Chancellor and Vice Chancellor both are calling on refugees to assimilate, to learn and adopt German ways. Only then can they be accepted as belonging to German society. It will be through achievement and contribution that the newly arrived will gain acceptance as German.

That's the way it used to be in America: the melting pot. People put away their Old Country language and mannerisms, learned and adopted American ways and thereby became American, indistinguishable from Mayflower descendants.

Multiculturalism is an end run around this. People can continue to live as Somalis or Bulgars and claim acceptance by wider society even though they have nothing in common with them. This came about because assimilation was impossible for some ethnicities. They could not be like "Americans" if they tried for a thousand generations. So to excuse their failure the diversion of multiculturalism was invented.

Or rather sprung upon America because its inventors knew and planned all along for this outcome.

Read the book Guns, Germs, and Steel, and you'll understand why.

It has NOTHING to do with some laughable "innate superiority" of whites and everything to do with climate, diseases, animals that could be domesticated, crops available for farming, and other resources. It's not about "how the white man is innately smarter" - skin color and random cultural trappings, such as god-figures worshiped, had nothing to do with the outcome.
