Why are white people so much more historically successful compared to other races like Indians, Native Americans and Chinese?

I'd probably say the Roman empire is probably a big reason. Look at how many people's and races it brought under one rule. And the Roman empire tolerated a lot of individuality so long as it didn't interfere with Roman rule. This allowed a lot of trade and exchange of ideas. After the collapse of the Roman empire began the dark ages. Monestary's kept the light of knowledge flickering till the Renaissance. And the the middleast was subjugated by Islamic rule. So when the new world was discovered by European traders it unlocked a whole new hemisphere of largely untapped resources. I was taught in school in western civ. That the reason the new world didn't develop same as the old world is most mountain ranges here move from north to south rather than east to west like in the new world. People are more likely to move east to west to survive and less north to south because east to west generally the weather is more consistent. Which is important if you're a agrarian society.

So add all this together and it gave European powers a tremendous leg up in exploiting the new world and as a result thier power and influence grew exponentially.

White people are white because they lived in cold climates and the white skin absorbs more vitamin D. With the cold climates you have to be smarter to survive such things as the winter and you need a wider range of skills. The less intelligent died and the more intelligent survived and thrived. This intelligence gave way to inventions which drove the need for more intelligence to survive in the masses as the bar was raised. This continues to this day

Then came independence and freedom which made people fully responsible for their own life and well being to survive but also to thrive. To thrive you had to be even more intelligent. Women seek out the smart, ambitious, successful guy so yet again more intelligent people were born. In short, Darwinism.

Oh that's an easy answer, through the following, Brut force, witt, psychopathic and sociopathic leaders, tirany, sabotage, war, gun powder, nuclear weapons, violence, trickery, slavery, trade, stealing, religion, beliefs that they are a superior race, gentrification, dismantling cultures, implementing social stereotypes, inventing press journalism, spreading the English language, introduction of consumerism, industrialisation, creating a common wealth, spreading diseases, creating generational trauma through slavery, gluttony, ... Erm can't think of anything else really. But pretty sure these things they did have them a leg up the social ranking.

So you are saying that other races were/are perfect. The list you gave ALL races took part in.

No those are your words, I'm actually answering the question posted.

Oh also there's only one race, there are different cultures and nationalities but we are all biologically the human race. This is also a white ideal that there are different races on earth...

I can't speak for other races, but Native Americans mostly have it bad. A lost still live on reservations where life is tough, jobs are few, alcoholics are many, and the possibility of going to college is almost nil. The only thing they got going for some of them, is if their tribe can have casinos, that in turn help the members by giving them a payment each month. It also gives them a chance to stick it to the White Eyes and taking their money.

Geothermal ocean currents. So new york city in USA is similar latitude to Paris france yet they rarely get snow. It rarely snows upwards even with scottland when the same latitude as Canada being sub tundra.

Basically Europe dosen't have brutal winters yet have access to those northern resources that are strong enough for global travel for boats is a big deal.

They steal better and enslaved better, is way.

Historically it's always been "Brown White people" like Greeks and Italians, who have done all the "success". Whereas "White White people" like the Nords and Poles have done all the invading and pillaging.

Americans are actually "Mixed White people" in the most part and it's always hilarious when they try and claim to be a "racial success".

The West adopted a culture and principals of freedom and the individual, and stsrted implementing the economic plan of capitalism.. Something many cultures are still learning.. And it's in big part thanks to the Christian principles held by many Europeans for centuries..

It’s just called different cultures. In some cultures creations like the light bulb wouldn’t be seen as great. Some cultures probably just prefer the natural sun or fire.

[drtfyfygug]

Different cultures have different beliefs and your idea of a great invention or success might be totally different to another person.

I don't think that's true.

If you live in a country, you are going to hear more about the successes of the country than others.

Cope lol

[AngryCarl]

In what sense do you consider the Chinese unsuccessful?

[FrankAu]

East & South Asians per capita more are successful than Whites & Blacks are in the Anglosphere

[LadiesFavoriteToy]

Because black people have BLM and white people don't.

[gorydetails]

Because we’re more intelligent.
