I've read the book and recommend others do before committing to say anything. As to the subject, it seems that left to their own devices (no Western influence) most brown cultures do not advance in any measure, and once the influence of European stewardship wains, they revert back to old ways. Look at predominately black or otherwise minority cities in America as the perfect example.
There are characteristics within the races that have been forged through thousands of years of evolution. To pretend that we are all the same is so stupid as to be delusional, and inasmuch as the differences between the races are real and genetic, to attempt to rectify perceived inequality through government intervention and affirmative action is the very height of stupidity.
I think you're better off observing the changes (or natural reversal) in former British and French possessions in Africa. When under European stewardship these territories were largely productive, peaceful, law-abiding and educated. After British and French withdrawl we see the damaging effect tribalism has had on the fabric of the nation state.
Yeah, seems Europeans have never suffered from your theory..
Bosnian War
Calculating the number of deaths that resulted from the conflict has been subject to considerable and highly politicised debate.
[119] There are large discrepancies between estimates of the total number of casualties, ranging from 25,000 to 329,000. These are partly the result of the use of inconsistent definitions of who can be considered victims of the war. Some research calculated only direct casualties of the military activity while other also calculated indirect casualties, such as those who died from harsh living conditions, hunger, cold, illnesses or other accidents indirectly caused by the war conditions.
The Troubles
The Troubles (
Irish:
Na TrioblóidÃ) is the common name for the
ethno-nationalist[7][8][9][10][11][12][13] conflict in
Northern Ireland that spilled over at various times into the
Republic of Ireland,
England and
mainland Europe. The Troubles
began in the late 1960s and is deemed by many to have ended with the
Belfast 'Good Friday' Agreement of 1998,
[14][15][16][17][18] but sporadic violence has continued since then.
[15][19][20] Internationally, the Troubles is also commonly called the
Northern Ireland conflict.
[21][22][23][24][25] And has often, disputably, been described as a war.
The Republic of Ireland's security forces played a smaller role. More than 3,500 people were killed in the conflict
