Throughout history, the countries with the smartest people has shifted from one ethnic group to another. Egyptian, Persian, greek, roman and chinese empires were all the most powerful empires in the world over the past 2000 years. They were mostly of different ethnicities and weren't white. Also the romans being white is just complete nonsense, the ancient roman historians described the romans having Mediterranean features in comparison to germans having western european features in contrast.
My point is that what determines the smartest ethnic groups are just circumstantial luck which allows the populace to take over neighboring countries, trade routes, and to acquire knowledge and advancements. Whites aren't just better than everybody else, contrary to what white supremacists would want you to believe.
The Egypt, Persia, Greek, and Roman empires all fought each other and sometimes completely destroyed each others at times.
No, the physical features of those statues were mostly of a Mediterranean type. The historians literally described the Roman’s as looking noticeably different from the “white” Germans. You can’t just claim they’re white because you feel like it. They weren’t white, deal with it.
It’s backed up by the fact the smartest ethnicity has changed throughout history and hasn’t been whites for most of it. This means that genetics doesn’t determine the smartest ethnicity but other factors such as circumstantial luck do.
No shit. Does that make South Europeans (Italians and Greeks) not white? Where did you get the idea that all white people are nordic vikings?
How did you determine what the smartest ethnicity at any given time was?
Greeks during alexanders time were closer to levatine arabs than germans genetically. Roman italians from the time of Christ were also closer to the levant. They weren't white genetically, deal with it.
The same criteria white supremacists use, which ethnicity had the highest living standards, most power, and advancements.
What kind of argument is that? Greeks were white. So were Romans. So are today's Greek and Italians. I don't care who they were close to - why are Germanic people the criteria of whiteness? How do you determine who's white genetically? Is there a "white gene"? Whiteness is a metaphysical category, not just a biological set of traits. Don't you get you're being ad hoc?
The point is that there's no direct comparison. Carthage dominated Africa but were crushed by Rome when they were confronted. The same happened to the Indian empire, China, Japan, the Aztecs, etc. You have an overly simplistic view of history and economics as if civilizations are pokemon cards with explicit stats that can be compared.
Btw, how do you rule out luck? You appealed to luck as being the reason for white hegemony - how do you know it's not luck that made those other non-white civilizations great? Maybe it has nothing to do with being smart and capable? You only dig yourself deeper.
They are literally closer genetically to levent Arabs than any European population. Pick the Slavs, celts, nords, Germans, and the results will be the same. They aren’t white, deal with it.
Sure, but the ancient Greeks and Romans weren’t biologically white, so they metaphysically couldn’t be.
It’s luck that made every civilization great. Some civilizations have a string of great leaders and the right resources to go out and conquer other nations and make advancements. They do and then become great.
