Brazil's Lula raps 'white' crisis

Was Lula into “the sauce”, as he frequently is?

Yes, but nobody reports on it. THe NYTimes Rio bureau cheif, almost got his visa yanked for writing about it a while back. Lula is an ignoramous who came to power as a trade unionist rabble rouser. He seems to have moved to the center and takes few risks.

Hmmm. The white man was in the America's as early as anyone.

I don't suppose you've ever taken a look at who runs the world. By the end of the 19th century virtually every nation on Earth was under the white man's heel.

The “white man” has been conquered and enslaved by himself, more than he has, any other. Europe was always at war with itself, until very recently. Not to mention the problems other peoples have with the term “white man”. The Afghans, for example, were not beaten until recently.

And what's the result on the ground?

Straight-haired, narrow eyed Chinese-like peoples are spread on practically all continents, and much, much before any other peoples. You do know that the Chinese, the Japanese, the Native Americans from both continents, the Polynesians, and others, are ethnically related, don't you?

In the natural order of things, that would be the definition of biological success.

Alas for your theory, there's been this incredible genetic flow from the "white folks" to all the others the last 500 years that's just stupifying.

As far as the Chinese are concerned they and the European peoples share a common ancestry a bare 50,000 years back, and even today due to Ice Age swaps 5% of the heritage of every European is East Asian, and 5% of the heritage of every East Asian is European.

The Sa'ami, the first group to break out of the Western European Ice Age refugia, had also managed to get to North America just in time to "found" the Clovis culture.

The Eskimo and modern Indian people in both North and South America derive substantially from the Yakutian people in Siberia. They, in turn, are also known as the Sakha. That tribe, among other things, has traveled back and forth from South Asia for thousands of years evading droughts and little ice ages.

Buddha was a Sakha. So is the Emperor of Japan. No doubt a bit of "white blood" was picked up during their sojourn in India.

Probably looking for this word.

Xenophobia is a dislike and/or fear of that which is unknown or are different from oneself, especially in the case of foreign people. The term is typically used to describe a fear or dislike of foreigners or of people significantly different from oneself.
