"Stole vegetarianism and yoga." That's rich. By that reasoning we can accuse her of squatting on the entirety of Western European culture.

Ought to be demanding that she pay royalties.

.....permit me a brief and very incomplete list of things [western culture] has done or invented:

Euclidean geometry. Parabolic geometry. Hyperbolic geometry. Projective geometry. Differential geometry. Calculus: Limits, continuity, differentiation, integration. Physical chemistry. Organic chemistry. Biochemistry. Classical mechanics. The indeterminacy principle. The wave equation. The Parthenon. The Anabasis. Air conditioning. Number theory. Romanesque architecture. Gothic architecture. Information theory. Entropy. Enthalpy. Every symphony ever written. Pierre Auguste Renoir. The twelve-tone scale. The mathematics behind it, twelfth root of two and all that. S-p hybrid bonding orbitals. The Bohr-Sommerfeld atom. The purine-pyrimidine structure of the DNA ladder. Single-sideband radio. All other radio. Dentistry. The internal-combustion engine. Turbojets. Turbofans. Doppler beam-sharpening. Penicillin. Airplanes. Surgery. The mammogram. The Pill. The condom. Polio vaccine. The integrated circuit. The computer. Football. Computational fluid dynamics. Tensors. The Constitution. Euripides, Sophocles, Aristophanes, Aeschylus, Homer, Hesiod. Glass. Rubber. Nylon. Roads. Buildings. Elvis. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. (OK, that’s nerve gas, and maybe we didn’t really need it.) Silicone. The automobile. Really weird stuff, like clathrates, Buckyballs, and rotaxanes. The Bible. Bug spray. Diffie-Hellman, public-key cryptography, and RSA. Et cetera.

No offense, Bub - but we didn’t “invent” the Bible. We merely wrote it down.

Motion picture technology. So Bollywood stole filmmaking from white people.

Somewhere I saw a quote that seems to complement your list:

“There is no White privilege, if by ‘privilege’ we mean the commonly understood definition of conferred special rights and advantages.

There is White aptitude, competence, and successful culture, developed through millennia of evolutionary and social selection, which the non-White races misconstrue as White privilege.”
