I came across an article that might interest you. It was published in the Spring 2006 edition of the Journal of Economic Perspectives and was written by an Emeritus Professor of Economics at Harvard named David S. Landes. The title of the article is "Why Europe and the West? Why Not China?". It speaks of European superiority since the 1500s and the inversion that is bringing Asia to the front, ahead of Europe and North America.
Make a list of advances that have been made by aboriginal people from Africa, Australia, North America, and South America during the past 500 years, it will be a short list. So Mr White European, what great advances have you personally made, or are you just riding the coattails? Read the article, agree or disagree, I happen to think that he makes a strong case. No, I haven't personally contributed to the advancement of human kind, have you? Does paying taxes count ?
The degree of my privacy is no business of yours.
What we've learned from history is that we haven't learned from it.
