What you seem to be arguing is that different races of people produce different types of cultures, and that each is good at doing what it does best. I can’t disagree with you on that. You also seem to be arguing that it’s subjective to argue that one culture is superior to another. I can’t disagree with you on that, either. Some people may prefer to live in a Maori-style culture.

The problem is, there are people who think human beings are blank slates, and that every race of people is exactly like every other race of people. Such people expect every race to perform identically well at every task, and when that doesn’t happen, they immediately start looking for discrimination, bigotry, oppression, or some external factor to explain the discrepancy. The result is affirmative action, silly arguments about white privilege, and so forth.

I think you state matters admirably, succinctly and well. Substitute “race of people” for “breed of dog” and you would see that what you’ve said is Truth.
