In starting this topic I expect to offend a lot of people. Realization of that kept me from starting it earlier, but following Aristotle's maxim to follow the thought wherever it may lead I made up my mind. In the end the virtue of truth or at least search for truth weighs considerably higher than being polite of my scale of values...
So....
There's no denying that the civilization as we know it was built by an intellectual and physical effort of white men.
As most of educated people know the role of the woman in society was limited to giving birth and servicing her husband up until, I would say, second half of 20th century. The remnant, I'd rather say quite fullblown continuation of the practice is seen all around the world even now.
In most civilized countries the equality of a woman to a man was given a full consideration and then right quite some time ago, but still de facto white men are still the overwhelming majority in any government, scientific endeavor, army, and so on.
Now about the race. You will have to remind me about anything other than new form of apartheid or virus that was invented in Africa, or in China. Japan with all its uniqueness is still built on technology and intellectual richness of western world.
so, basically, what I am trying to find the answer to is why did this happen? White males are supreme in their ablility? or it's just a coincidence?
