| Genetic makeups are not equal. Look at the Chinese. They invented practically everything from printing presses to paper money to alcoholic beverage to the fucking fork. Chinese were using blast furnaces thousands of years before the Greeks and Celts. Now compare Chinese progress to some set like the Malays. Not even close in the aspect of technological and mathematical proficiency. Look at the stereotype for Asians and Chinese in particular. Stereotypes aren't baseless. I have no formal proof to say so but I conjecture that there's something about Chinese genes.
Or, just look at physical appearances. Some ethnicities are inherently tiny (e.g. most Asian ethnic groups) while others are large (e.g. Germanic and Slavic peoples). That's one type of superiority right there. | |

That's one type of superiority right there. Actually, Guttenburg invented the printing press, the Chinese invented paper(and woodblock printing), and they were producing alcoholic beverages in the Middle East at approximately the same time the Chinese had begun to do so. As for blast furnaces, the technology was basically imported from the West(see Donald Wagner's work). Iron was perfected in Mesopotamia, the first hospital was established in Ceylon, the Spartans invented central heating, the Romans invented concrete, and I could go on, but it's rather pointless. Aptitudes for learning are different from individual to individual, not race to race, or nationality to nationality. China wasn't even China at the points in time we're referring to, and the Chinese are comprised of so many different peoples and kingdoms(states) it's ridiculous. As for mathematics, Pythagoras was Greek if I'm not mistaken...my point being, every culture has it's strengths and weaknesses, again, there IS no dominant or superior race, cultures are also dependent upon access to goods and resources, so of course some backwater people like the Aborigines in Australia aren't going to be technologically advanced as the cultures who have direct contact with one another and can share learned technologies and the like. As for physical appearances, height can be disadvantageous in certain situations too, but like I said earlier, every race and nationality has it's strengths and weaknesses. | |

Between the vikings and the nazi regime the greatest military forces in the world both belonged to the superior race. As for the chinks, I personally have thrown one out a window, so fuck paper money making them superior. | |

I'm not quite sure what your goal is with random technological citations from across the globe. I didn't say that China invented everything. Certainly many races and regions had their golden ages and technological leaps. That doesn't mean that all races have turned out equal. Look at the people of Africa, they've had their share of innovations, but the continent still home to some of the most lawless, tribal, and underdeveloped nations in the modern world. I'm just saying that there are some exceptional places like China that were ahead of the curve throughout most of history.
"China wasn't even China at the points in time we're referring to, and the Chinese are comprised of so many different peoples and kingdoms(states) it's ridiculous." The region shared genetics and a mindset. It doesn't matter if it wasn't a single country or if there were lots of kingdoms cartographically.
"As for mathematics, Pythagoras was Greek if I'm not mistaken..." Yea and Sir Isaac Newton was English, Gauss was German, and Zhu Shijie was Chinese. What is your point? The Greek, Arabic peoples and Chinese developed algebra, trigonometry, base-dependent mathematics, and so on at a remarkably early period in history.
"Iron was perfected in Mesopotamia" As I indicated above, those who dwelt in that area of the world were geniuses and innovators.
"there IS no dominant or superior race" There isn't a single dominant race, but there are dominant ones, that should be obvious.
"cultures are also dependent upon access to goods and resources, so of course some backwater people like the Aborigines in Australia aren't going to be technologically advanced as the cultures who have direct contact with one another and can share learned technologies and the like" Yes, location has a lot to do with racial advancement and expansion. The world isn't "fair," geographically. | |

There isn't a single dominant race, but there are dominant ones, that should be obvious. Nurture over nature. That's all I have to say. The reasons you're citing so far have nothing to do with genetic make-up, but rather how things played out historically due to a variety of conditions in which these figures lived. I'm not saying there's no basis for genetic differences between races in some small areas and on the whole, but it's ridiculous to proclaim that any of these differences equate as the dominance of one race. | |

This is funny. Hahaha As much as I love the Vikings, they were NOT ANYWHERE near the greatest military force in the world, they were raiders, their main weapons were surprise, the swiftness of their raids, and their ability to quickly sail away in their drakkar and their knarr. The Nazi's clearly weren't superior, history is a great guide to show as such. While they did have some pretty kickass weapons such as their panzers, no, they weren't the greatest military force in the world either. Genghis Khan had a SUPERIOR military force. Alexander the Great had a SUPERIOR military force. The US had a SUPERIOR military force(still alot of evidence to back that up as well). Rome had a SUPERIOR military force. Qinshi Huangdi had a SUPERIOR military force. William the Conqueror had a SUPERIOR military force. How do we know this? Check the history books, they were never obliterated by anyone, although I can hardly say as such for the Nazi's. | |

My goal was to show you that the Chinese are not alone in their achievements, and I could ask you the same of why you gave us examples of all the things they invented, what was the point then? I never said they were equal, I said they all have their own strengths and weaknesses, but in so doing, it kinda does make us all equal on some level or another. - Quote :

No, it didn't. As I said, there were TONS of different peoples that China was comprised of, the Nanman, the Wuwan, the Qiang, the Shanyue, the Manchu, etc., tons of tribes and peoples of the Steppe I'm sure, all these cultures intermingled and made, and make up what we know today as the Chinese. - Quote :

That was my point. Not just the Chinese who you focused on in your response. They aren't the only nationality of people who've made strides and leaps in the realms of technology and mathematics. | |

That was my point. Not just the Chinese who you focused on in your response. They aren't the only nationality of people who've made strides and leaps in the realms of technology and mathematics. I'm using the Chinese as an example. I didn't say they were the master race lol. And you don't seem to understand that many of those clumps of people that make up Chinese are very similar. I don't know why, but people from the "civilized" world (e.g. USA, England) don't get the concept that if ethnicity A has a different language from ethnicity B, A wars with B all the time, A and B's religions are different, A and B aren't necessarily very different people. In fact, sometimes they are the same people calling themselves different. I know this because of where I was born and have lived. So, because Chinese groups have different names and may have warred with each other doesn't mean that they are totally different people. That's not to say that some of them are significantly different of course. Anyways, China has had a central government for over 2,000 years. It's not like they were tribes of barbarians until the English came. In response to the maths... both the Arabs and Chinese (as well as Hellas) had established laws and properties of math that Western Europe didn't discover until hundreds of years later. These three regions are historically remarkable. Once again I never said that China is "more dominant" than those two. | |

And I don't think it's that hard for me to understand...or any of the rest of us "civilized" people(I wouldn't say Native Americans or Mexicans have the same genetic make-up as we Americans, or the English do ) for that matter. There were several people or tribes of the Steppes that were possessed of fair complexions, blue eyes, brown and red hair. For that matter Indians are considered Asian, but they clearly are VERY different to the Chinese. The Shanyue, Wuwan, Qiang, Nanman especially were different to the Chinese as well, I knew as much or I wouldn't have stated so in the first place. - Quote :

I don't even know what you're going with this. Yes, it's true that there were different peoples with Chinese-sounding names. No they were not Chinese as you said. The Qiang were frequently massacred by the Han troops. The Nanman is a blanket label for the southern barbarians and were labeled such by the Han. The Shanyue were taken as slaves by the Wu. Many other smaller groups were slaughtered by assimilated into the Hans. I don't think the people you are talking about were ever called Chinese or have had any inventions attributed to them. So to summarize, they're !not Chinese! as you've so clearly stated multiple times. I don't see your conclusion. - Quote :
- ...you're just putting words in my mouth now, I never said or implied this in any way.
Let me clear that up for you: China has had a central government for thousands of years, controlled by whichever Chinese kingdom was currently in power. These different kingdoms which controlled China and made up most of China were very very similar. It's the un-Chinese people who were the more insignificant groups like the Qiang, Di, and Jei that generally only kept their identity for less than a thousand years before being destroyed/assimilated. | |
