Lol, them Westoids wouldn’t’ve went anywhere without the mathematical breakthroughs of Arab scholars. They’d still be stuck in the medieval times lmao, the Arabs literally saved their works from the Roman and Greek times, and through trade helped the euros catch up. Westoids who parrot this statement clearly don’t understand history.

Apparently, some readers here do not realize how much intellectual property China has stolen from the US over the years. Much of what they create is based on Western development, and then refined. Somewhat like reverse engineering. Why do so many Chinese come to live in the US? Because they see it as LaLa Land.

top comment from the wapo article covering this. although some commenters did astutely point out that perhaps this should not have been a surprise and maybe people who aren’t white have intelligence after all.
