You want to count how many Nobel Prize winners in science are Chinese and how many are white?

Why are you so obsessed with Nobel Prizes in science?Is that someting Americans are particularly good at?

How about civil rights? Still the Chinese better than the whites?

Why are you suddenly interested in civil rights?You as a Putin lover,don't really care and actually I don't think American civil rights are all that good anyway.

You also bang on about how awful Europe is for letting in so many non-white immigrants.Here are a few facts;
White population of each country as a percentage;

UK - 82%
France - 85%
Poland - 97%
USA - 77%

Germany has the second highest immigrant population in the world.Only beaten by The USA.

So showing a proof that the whites are intellectually superior to all other races is obsession? Or racism? It simply cannot be a fact under the PC rules of the EU morons.

You are too stupid to continue. Or pretending to be stupid. Same thing.

Rich, what you do is basically taking a brief period of history and generalize it as a permanent fact. Nobody denies that the West has been the centre of scientific innovation for the last centuries, but as others have pointes out, the rise of China and other countries will soon diversify the picture. Which is not a bad thing, imagine how much humanity will advance once billions of additional people will be able to research.

No doubt the Arabs felt superior over the Europeans between 800-1300. Indeed, the Europeans felt inferior to them. Yet anyone assumed that this was the natural dtate of things was gravely mistaken. The same rings true of those who believe that people will always be superior to others.

That's me.
When the numerical indicators like the total number of Nobel Prize winners and patents go against the whites I will concede and retract.
It will never happen, unless, of course, the whites continue on the way to their own PC-driven destruction as they so proudly are doing here and in Europe.

A hundred years is not brief. It's only brief if you are into fossils or Darwin. The important part of the numbers I referred to is the ginormous disparity between races. It's not even close. Just look at South America with 19. North America (actually just one country) 370. Yeah, we are all equal.

And those Asians who actually were awarded the NP did their research in the white countries using the white facilities. Like the Fermi lab. Funny how it works.

Tacitus

A hundred years is not brief

It is very brief if we are talking about historical trends. Nobody denies that the West has been the heart of scientific progress for the last 2 or 3 centuries, but this will change to some degree in the next few decades. China is catching up rapidly in particular. And again, there were times when the Europeans were vastly behind other civilizations. Would you like it if we took the state of affairs in the Middle Ages as a benchmark for the "White Race".

India is not far behind either.
In the future I see China and India as being the dominant nations.

Tacitus
7 Sep 2018  #577

This is entirely possible, although I suspect that it will take India a bit longer to catch up than China. Considering their economic growth and population size, it is simply common sense, that if they can continue with their progress, they will catch up and possibly surpass the West. It might take one or two generations, but the 21th century will no doubt become an Asian century.

Which is yet another reason why the EU is so important to the tiny European countries. Only if we stay united, we can prevail.

China is not a country. It's a totalitarian and oppressive system that is smarter than the USSR ever was by borrowing from the white man the concept of capitalism. All the rest, political power, and civil rights are just a notch better than North Korea's.

If China is a point of reference, North Korea is more advanced than Poland or Germany. It's probably cleaner, has lower crime rate, and has nukes. As a result, the US is treating NK as equal. Poland - not so much.

Would you like it if we took the state of affairs in the Middle Ages as a benchmark for the "White Race".

Yes. From Day Zero when the first monkey threw a stone at another monkey till today. Including the Middle Ages.

Hundred years from now, India will still be a mud hole. Where it will be better, it will be thanks to the outsourcing done by the whites.

Tacitus
7 Sep 2018  #579

It's a totalitarian and oppressive system

Sure, but China is also catching up to the West, economically and scientifically. We still have the edge, and it might be our advantage that China is still somewhat suppressing intellectual freedom. But all the numbers point to China becoming a superpower.

Because the whites permit them to sell their products in the US and EU. Without the white men aiding and abetting the Chinese practices that are illegal in the US and the EU, and opening their markets to China, China would be a just another sh**hole. Anyone who would treat the US and EU workers and the environment in the white zone the way China does in China would be in prison. And, then, there is this little detail: China is a country of thieves. From counterfeiting products, to stealing music, to spying on the US. That's China for you.

Did you know, that when China was poor some 60 years ago, China got a break on the shipping charges? Well, guess what, because China is dealing with the US morons, China still pays the reduced shipping rates while being now the 2nd largest economy in the world.

Finally, both China and India would be exempt from the Paris Agreements till 2030, or so. Trump wouldn't have any of that crap, so, to a typical Eurocrat, Trump is bad and China is good. Go figure if you can.

Just so I am clear on this:
The factory workers (who are 80% women) making Nike's for .20 cents a hour and working 70-80 hours a week , so Nike can profit enough to pay the Progressive Liberal Colin Kaepernick millions to speak out against oppression and injustice.

Which, according some idiot here, makes the Chinese a race that is superior to the whites.

You are a bit out of touch Johnny - Chinese minimum wage is more than 300 dollars a month - in Poland its about 600 dollars. To get workers who know what they are doing you have to pay much more than that.

Chinese living standards will take some time to catch up with the west but we are talking a few decades rather than a few centuries

Of course Nike is a private business in a free country And it's up to them how they spend their shareholders money. If you don't like it nobody is forcing you to buy their product.

Ironside

Chinese living standards

It is not only about living standard. Chinese are ruthless, they are a nefarious force, and there are not lows they wouldn't go even lower to prevail with their Chinese supremacy and a xenophobic racism in a communist form.

Nike shoes are made in Indonesia, China, Vietnam, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Pakistan, Phillipines, Taiwan, Thailand, not just China.

nobody is forcing you to buy their product.

Never have as I have a wide foot and Nike's are know for how narrow they fit.
Besides the life expectancy on a pair of Nike is about six months before they blow out.
New Balance has Nike beat all to hell.

The same trend applies to all those countries Johnny - wages go up as production becomes higher quality and more complex - That is what happened in Czech Hungary and Poland and it will be repeated in the Far East.

Of course 100 years ago the US managed to overtake Britain and Germany has a manufacturing power largely through lower wages, better entrepreneurs and taking established designs and making them more cheaply using mass production

As for Nike well you illustrate the free market well - buy New Balance if it fits your need - neithet Kaepernick or Nike is stopping you.

They are firmly aware that their market is the young and the wealthy whereas the people that get uptight about the national anthem are generally old and not fashion conscious.

Maybe the young but certainly not the wealthy in the U.S.
I was taking the .20 cents an hour (which Nike did pay them back in the 90's) to demonstrate a point.
You Europeans take everything so literally instead of getting the gest of someone's point.
So I researched it and found that workers in Vietnam earned between $0.61 and $0.89 per hour in 2016, based on a working week of 48 hours.
However, as the group pointed out, the effects of inflation and an increased cost of living in Vietnam since the 1990s means that this increase in the nominal hourly wage is not as significant in real terms, and may not be that high even in nominal terms, after one accounts for forced overtime, an illegal practice documented by the Worker Rights Consortium in a 2016 report.

My point was that Nike can profit enough off slave labor (oppression) to pay the Progressive Liberal Colin Kaepernick millions to speak out against oppression and injustice.

I think that may have went over your head.

buy New Balance if it fits your need

Oh but I do even though I wear my L.L.Beans or Herman Survivors most of the time.

Tacitus

What are you even talking about? You tried to make an historic argument in why the White people are superior to others, while I pointed out that this a fallacy born out of a very selective interpretation of history and present. It is a fact that the West has only been superior to the rest of the world for a couple of centuries, a short time in historical terms. It would be foolish to addume that this will be a permanent state of affair.

I mean it is not like White people, or homogenous entity to begin with. Russia for example was always seen as backwards and primitive by anyone East of the Vistula. Indeed monarchs like Peter and Catharina build their legacy by trying to catch up to Europe. And even then, Russia lagged behind until well into the 20th century (and coincidently, is once again falling behind under Putin with so many of its' scientists using Europe).

Ironside
8 Sep 2018  #591

the West has only been superior to the rest of the world for a couple of centuries,

The west - meaning Christian Europe has been superior to the rest of the world because of its values. Those that the west values it acquires due to the Christianity

All those countries in Europe that once bowed to the Vatican are the west.

Is a fact that it all had been done by white people relevant or telling. I don't know - Christianity tell us it is not.

Well, Europe was deeply inferior to the Muslim world during the height of Papal power i the Middle Ages. Some historiand believe that it was specificammy the values of the Protestan Church that gave some countries an edge.

Deflect and obfuscate.
Nobody is "foolish" to try to predict future. When one day future becomes the past, we will update the count.
In the meantime, what I am saying is that, counting from day zero till today, the white race - however YOU want to define it - had achieved more that any other. I also offered a number of measurable numerical indicators as proof. If you have the data to prove me wrong, put it up.

Before you make an attempt, let me remind you again that, in nature, no two things are equal. Take x random people and one of them will be the smartest, the richest, or whatever.

Same with the races.

In every conceivable way. Architecture, medicine, Mathematics. And the Europeans knew it, when they came into contact with them during the crusades and later.

@Rich Mazur

from day zero till today, t

Which is already false. You simply pick a small part of history to prove your point. If Whites were indeed superior, it should have manifested itself way sooner, besides how exactly do Japanese and Koreans fit into your ideology? Europe lagged behind China, the Middle East and the Ottoman Empire for a long period of time. Those are facts.

But since you are a self-admitted racist, you'll simply ignore what does not fit into your ideology.

Tacitus

You have so far referred to indicators (number of nobel laureats) that are relatively knew, which indeed is the only time when Europe was exceptionally advanced compared to the rest of the world. Aside from that, there is nothing to support your claim.

The European Commission will next week try to wrest the issue of migration away from populists - partly by heeding their calls for tougher border control.

politico.eu/article/europe-migration-commission-hits-back-at-populists

"Fortress Europe" is being build, I tell you...it's only a matter of time now. The policy of "open borders - open arms" is nearing it's democratical end.

Words don't matter, they can deny it all they want or call it differently as not looking like the losers here, but the deeds are what counts.

Aside from that, there is nothing to support your claim.

Do you want me to count the patents, books, medical breakthroughs, music, standard of living, democratic institutions, discoveries, space travel, and world class universities?
How about this. If the white race is not supreme, some other race must be since no two races are equal. What is a that other race? And what are your criteria to claim it?

Please don't bore me with where humanity was 50 centuries ago and where was the monkey that first used a stone to kill another monkey.

What will it take for you to realize that you will never win this one because the facts are a bi****. The best you can do is pick time frames from the past or try to be a prophet.

In the meantime, anyone with cancer wants to be in the white "America". Not Africa, not Asia, not Europe. Not even in a black America. They want to be in a white American hospital with white doctors and nurses.

I am done. Case closed.
