My or my mother in law's ethnicity are not of any relevance. |
In other words, "We're both as white as a guy wearing black socks with his swimtrunks in a suburban back yard, ABBA playing softly in the background. But I was sorta hoping you wouldn't notice." Gotcha. So, what's the point of yer little anecdote? That white immigrants suceed in white countries? Not too surprising, that.

Factor in social factors, availability of technology etc etc and you'll get closer. Simple fact is that some cultures weren't so trusting when the Brits came to play. Didn't do 'em any good of course, we had guns and other such good stuff.

Yes, I've also read Guns, Germs, and Steel. By the way, did you know that Jared Diamond once studied testicle size differences between white and asian men? We all know what he was hoping for, but, alas, whitey proved to be better hung, so he quickly whined for a comparison with West African males. Too bad the scientific community didn't fund this earth-shattering study. He coulda been somebody!
Ah, the liberal mind in action.
