Of course we did bad things and they were on an epic scale because everything that we did was huge and earth shaking from splitting the atom to creating an empire.
Err...empire go though cycles. There was a time when the Mongolians used to rule the world and consequently had the resources and hence came up with a lot of inventions. The same goes for the Mughal Empire. You will laugh at the inventions that they made but they were big at that time, just like inventing the wheel was a big thing.
We just happen to be in a cycle when the White races of the world had the resources to educate the people and come up with the inventions. This cycle will also end and has already started as all the BRICIT nations are emerging.
As for the the whites being associated with all the racism. There is a good reason for it. Well actually there are several - apartheid, holocaust, Christian missionaries, colonization, etc. You feel disgusted by an Arab because he slaughtered your grandma in the name of Allah, well guess what? Native Indians were slaughtered because they were dirty and did not have a proper God. Now you may argue that the Christian Missionaries helped to raise the standard of living of all these natives. Yeah you may be right if you think in materialistic terms. But the natives were far more spiritually developed than the Whites.
So, that is why white people are associated with racism. I am not saying its right. Just stating the reason.
As for Muslims and Islam. Religion is a disease and Islam is the most dreaded of the them all. Islamists and Christians have always had a history of conflict. So, what were the politicians thinking when they allowed immigration from Turkey? Some of these Muslims are fanatics, I know that because I live in India and the Austrian Politician was right when he said that everyone in Turkey would have been up in arms if a Imam was murdered.
There is a big problem. But if you breed hatred then the result will be a bloody conflict and that is what governments want. Not just European or American govts. all of them. Why? Because Bombs, bullets and guns are the fastest moving commodities in times of war and there is lot of money to be made. As an exercise just follow the money and power and you will have a more refreshing perspective on how things work.
You remarks about 5 foot Moroccans or Turks or whatever and your above remark show that you have a sense of arrogance and think that the white people are superior. These is no superior race. Civilizations go through cycles.
My 2 cents, take it or leave it.
