What's the big deal about being white anyway?
Most of our ways of thinking come from the Arabs and the Greeks.

Ideas come from Arabs ))) dont make me laugh.
Greeks were white.
It is the big deal. Race is everyhing.
No, culture is everything. That's why the heir of the great scientific mind, Carl Sagan, is the incredible astrophysicist, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, a black man. Just consider how much artistic culture was created by African Americans, such as Rock 'n Roll. An American is an American is an American, and we come in all colors, and are of all ethnicities.
Rock n Roll - congrats!
What an achievment! I personaly prefer Bethoven Wagner Mozart.Whe should learn from great african science i supposse.
FACT: Germanic Europeans never had science until they were conquered by the Holy Roman Empire.
Does this mean that the Germans are not white?
Perhaps southern Europeans are the only true Aryans.
Just kidding. Race isn't real.
The Jews aren't responsible for your perpetual virginity. Grow some balls and get a life.
Don't mean to be a nitpicker, but the Holy Roman Empire was Germanic. It was just the Frankish kingdom under a new name, when Karl der Grosse (Charlemagne), whose lineage was that of the German speaking Ripuarian Franks, was named Holy Roman Emperor.
But even then, Germanic scientific culture lagged far behind that of Muslim and Chinese civilizations, until the Renaissance and Reformation eras.
Yea Chinese civilization was so great - they invented gunpowder but did not understand what to do with it
What is about achievements of Chinese civilizations - i see nothing important in Chinese civilizations. Have you ever read great Chinese authors? Do you know great Chinese painters? And maybe you are big fan of Chinese music? - great culture! Why proud members of great Chinese civilizations did not make they live more bearable - why they are sufferiing from unsanitary conditions demographic diseases and poverty why they dont want to live in their own great homeland why they want to live in West!As for great Chinese philosophy-it is not philosophy at all . they had no philosophers but sapients.
The Chinese clearly understood what to do with gunpowders and, beside of their peaceful use with fireworks, they were quite ingenious when it come to conceive weapons, including those using gunpowders. The reason life in modern China is not up to modern standard, depending of the region an wealth of peoples, is because it take time to do such for more than one billion peoples, and that China has lost a lot of time with civil war and the closing down of the country with Mao regime. Taiwan and Hong Kong however are up to modern standard.
I have not read Chinese authors, but I know that some old Chinese written works are very well reputed. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Great_Classical_Novels
I have not read Aristophanes either, and I never heard about Eschil Sofocle by the way.
To stay in Asia, as a fan of anime and video games I am however familiar with some of the modern Japanese works, some are really incredible, including some great musics.
