Whatever. White guys have done well in the last century or two but for the two millenium previous - heck, for the previous four to five thousand years, white guys had a shit poor record.
Modern civilization more or less started and ended in Sumer - that's the middle east. They had advanced astronomy, mathematics, language, the knowledge we live on a fucking planet, the zodiac, social and legal structures, the calendar, the wheel...you name it and they probably invented it.
Most civilizations from that point borrowed from Sumer except as we moved further along the line from Babylon to Assyria and through to the Egyptians and Greeks, that legacy of science and culture became more and more degraded.
Central American cultures and African cultures were all far more advanced culturally and scientifically than Europeans through much of history.
White guys have made their impact in more recent times and it ain't all positive. Along with our techological toys has come the stripping of our environment, pollution and the extinctions of numerous animal species. Oh, and the ability to wipe out all life in a nuclear conflict. Let's hear it for white guys!
