Imagine a world without white people and Asian people - it's scary

Precisely correct. See? We CAN agree about some things.

 

Actually, Portugal was the first European nation to trade with China. Are you referring to the Opium Wars?

 

Yes in regards to melanin ratio count, and no to the rest. Climate and growing conditions and a handful of other factors are what made the over all difference and not the blood or skin tone.

 

As to that -- and good point by the way -- two things happened to China to make them withdraw. First, during their world tours, conducted well before the western world ventured on such things, Chinese ships surviving the trips returned with reports that, "There ain't nothing out there but fleas scratching barbarians, boss. We might as well just stay home;" and so they did just that. Then just as they were starting to think about opening up again and adapting to some aspects of western technology the British initiated the Chinese Opium Wars . . . and the rest -- as they say -- is history.

 

yes, and thanks.

 

Awww, does this mean we're BFFs?

 

When you say whites, you're excluding Hispanic whites, right? jk haha

You mean if all whites and Asians just vanished? Well there'd be a lot of immediate chaos, especially in the United States - but if 80% of the US, drawn from any mix of racial categories just disappeared, there would be chaos. There'd be people without a mechanic, power companies without employees, etc. But there'd be a lot more "lebensraum" in Asia.

But for the global impact, yes, technology would advance slower, but it would not regress that much. The Middle East actually is fairly tech savvy, and they'd at least be able to maintain the technological capabilities that we have, but world technology would then advance slower. Heck, make all blacks disappear and the same would probably be true, even if to a lesser extent.

Also I think you're trolling, but I'll bite.

 

If there were no Asians other people would manufacture things. I don't get your point.

It has nothing to do with race. It is culture and politics.

 

Absolutely incorrect, you have a distorted view of history due to a need to see it through closed eyes.
No one goes to the Norwegian region of the world to explore innovation, European (Not white) innovation has been influenced by contact with Muslim Moors and Mediterranean who had a history of major trade with Middle Eastern and African people.
Anglo-Saxon (White) persons were less known for inventing and more known for warring thus many invention are due to the process of bringing war and influence an many are more of innovation on works of previous persons.
The Americas, Pacific Islanders, Asia, Middle East, and Africa were more advanced than anything in Germanic region.
Mediterranean people, who until the last 80 years weren't considered white, were also more advanced.

The biggest difference was the introduction of China's gun powder through the Mongols into European society. that is the biggest difference that changed the world allowing imperial conquest. You will still never find a solo standing great Anglo-Saxon based society.

It seems like you are asking two different questions. In the first one, what would happen if a disease came along that only affected whites and asians (however broadly or narrowly you want to define them), and killed them off. Would the world be able to carry on? Obviously in that scenario, much as many of the posters on this forum would cheer the death of whites and asians, it knocks the US back into a third world status. They would have a hard time getting online to post on this forum how great it is that whitey is out of the picture because internet access would be intermittent. Eventually the world would recover and forget about the whites and asians, but clearly technological innovation would be on the backburner for centuries.

Your second question is what will the US be like at such time that whites are a minority? Will the US be able to maintain it's technological lead? I'm of the opinion that the US is in decline and the demographics won't matter that much. Technology, innovation depend on an educated workforce and a culture where education is rewarded. Current US culture is going in the other direction so I think US hegemony in those areas will decline. The interesting questions are what will happen to the US politically and socially when whites are in the minority? Of course, it's really on how you define whites. Plenty of Hispanics are white, so even using that term is a bit deceptive.

 

No, the "Black Ships" were especially distrusted in Japan. It was a case of diplomacy failure in America. Who sends a military delegation for talks of trade and peace? Opps. Very luckily for the rest of the world, Japan consented(or rather, it was forced to consent). A large part of the reason of WWI and WWII is that the Western Nations continued to abuse Asia, even during this alliance, with very(favorable) trade policies towards the West.

This led to Japanese Imperialism, which in some cases went further than NS Germany in Lebensraum(Living Space).

China, economically is simply copying from its Western partners who we now are the ones who are entirely dependent on our military and economic-social status(IE: World reserve currency status) as opposed to economic productivity and raw materialism. And soon, we too will embrace Lebensraum.

Don't think it won't happen, we're already leaning on the military like a crutch lol.

 

the op is worthy for nomination for idiotic topic of month club....it's absolutely loaded with racial issues, it pecludes the existence of race as a biological classification, race does not exist...to discuss this requires immoral and intelectual dishonesty...

 

...racists.

 

Amen.

Only fools spout the ideas of ethnic 'superiority' that we see (all too often) revealed here.

It (racism) is reprehensible stuff, uttered or expressed by those given to abject buffoonery.

 

even under older incorrect scientific assumtions of race people of india the middle east, north africa were considered Caucasian....

 

probably some republicans would try even harder to destroy America then they are under a Black President

the ol if I can't have her all to myself, nobody will mentality....


.

 

Well said!! Amen.

 

I'm thinking that we can be arrogant to much. I'm sure the Romans and Greeks and the other highly civilized nations were.

The white brits were just a bunch of savages, tatooed and committing human sacrifice back in the Roman hey day. I can just imagine a Roman saying---"what if the Romans, the Greeks and the Egyption civilizations disappeared and all we had left was these savages?"

They surely couldn't imagine what actually transpired.

 

I have great hope. This has nothing to do with skin color and everything to do with Government reaction to historical oppression. The black culture has been poisoned by a very clever and very evil agenda to pit blame where it doesn't belong while simultaneously sucking self-sufficiency and individualism away from blacks.

It is now happening to all people; blacks were simply the first in this country to receive of full dose of this Government 'love'.

The level of intelligence amongst people is not the issue. I refuse to believe that there is a substantial enough difference genetically to result in intelligence levels being all that skewed. What ruins potential is culture and Government.

 

I think a lot of it is chance. In the 13th century, the Mongol Empire took half of Europe and the only thing that stopped them from taking the rest was Ögedei's death.

I don't think that race and intelligence are strongly related: Africa has been oppressed since the mercantile age and there are still many countries where clean water is a luxury -- more of a breeding ground for disease than intellectual discourse.

Asians and whites haven't suffered from social exclusion like, say, Native Americans, Australian Aboriginals, or Africans. I believe that much of anti-establishment black culture in N. American today can be traced back to resistance against Europeans in Africa.

 

Great points made.

And I'll add:

Many of the people posting their racist views here in the forum, consistently make no effort to 'recognize' the historical (even scientific/technological) accomplishments of African Americans. It's common to see that left out, by various contingents of ethno-centric White Americans (as we often see expressing themselves within this forum). It would be laughable, if it were not so socially destructive.

 

That reminds me of the "middle-class measuring rod".

"How have African American's contributed?" Contributed to whom? To white society? They go to school and are taught white values by white teachers and are expected to help white society to improve... not much motivation there.

 

what if the arab cultures in their heyday pondered, would the world really miss those ignorant pale european savages? Sure they can pull a plow or propel our galleys and entertain us in the brothels but what good are these backwards uncultured savages really....

 

Ha-Ha!! That is so very TRUE!!

Amen!!

 

While my pale european ancestors were living in mud and stick dwellings those non Caucasian natives of central america were building vast cities of stone....ya my ancestors were just sooooo special
