[QUOTE]Originally posted by Horemheb: [QB] What you are calling 'Eurocentric' is nothing more than a historical process. I think you have bought into the whole victim mentality. European whites have dominated the world since at least 1500 and to a large degree still do today. None of it has anything to do with some 'mean white nman' theory. There is no question that in many ways Euro-American whites have had a superior culture, at least since 1500. The North American Indians were swept aside because they encountered a superior culture and lost. This has been the story of the human condition for as far back as we can see. Did Europeans have stronger military power, you bet. In developing capitalism, which led to the Industrial revolution, they also had much more economic power. All of this led to great universities and solid social institutions. Minorities prosper today only by buying into this Euro-American culture. All this is nothing more than 'a period of history.' Like all others it will pass in time to yet another dominant culture. That culture will seem just as over powering as this one has seemed. I know many learned people, as you all do. I know NONE who do not seek the truth. The very word university implies 'universal knowledge' and universal includes us all. I do believe that many minorities have been taught, almost instinctly, that all their problems were created by the evil European/Ameroicans. Nothing could be further from the truth. The very fact that we are having this conversation in the first place proves that. Lets be historians, not victims. [/QB][/QUOTE]
