Well, maybe I shouldn't have used the term "master race." But I don't back away from the notion that every group I mentioned has an attitude of racial and cultural superiority that it is reflected in their culture, their law, and their relations with other people and nations. By the way, Preah Vihear is a perfect example that defends what I talking about. If you knew anything about these countries, you would understand that. Maybe I can write what I just wrote in the ACTUAL Thai script, but I doubt you would understand it. เข้าใจหรือเปล่า

Why that's called racial and cultural pride. Except in its distorted forms, it's a completely positive thing.

châi. And don't be so quick to make assumptions about people.

To a certain point, I agree with you. And I am an American of Chinese descent. And I understand all too well, that there is a political correctness against people of European heritage projecting that same racial superiority. Whereas other people, whether from Africa, Middle East or Asia seem to get somewhat of a free pass. Not entirely a free pass, but more so than those of European descent.

However, be grateful that that is true as this is an indication that the West still leads the world. For there will come a day, when the world will resent China's racial smugness more than any potential or possible European or Western smugness :) People tend to feel the most threatened by the smugness of those who have more than those who have less.

Being around people who are poor and smug vs those who are wealthy and smug, have a different feel to the recipient of that attitude. One feels more threatening than the other even though they are the same attitudes of racial superiority.

So, as the global environment evolves and the economic center of gravity shifts Eastward, the world will slowly feel more of and resent China's Sino Centric view of the world. So, be grateful that we aren't there ...... yet ;)

Anyways... those are my 2 cents.
