Actually, white people have contributed quite a lot

Putting aside the hateful, despicable slurs on Sarah Jeong's Twitter feed, here are some that caught my attention.

have you ever tried to figure out all the things that white people are allowed to do that aren't cultural appropriation. there's literally nothing. like skiing, maybe, and also golf. white people aren't even allowed to have polo. did you know that. like don't you just feel bad? why can't we give white people a break. lacrosse isn't for white people either. it must be so boring to be white.

basically i'm just imagining waking up white every morning with a terrible existential dread that i have no culture.

This is a standard left-wing view.  It appeals to people who've been taught to ignore what they call the dead white males who built Western civilization.

White people created just about all the good things we all enjoy.  Here are few of my favorite things that white people didn't appropriate...

I take no credit for the achievements of the people I've written about. I don't think of them as white – they are among the many people who have built our shared civilization – but people like Sarah Jeong force me to think in racial terms. Instead of treating people as individuals, Jeong and her supporters pit groups against our civilization. We have to stop them. I am not advocating curtailing their freedom to say dumb things. We have continue to point out that they are really dumb.

Please, we created western civilization and continue to do so with a few add-ons from the Chinese (noodles!) and the Levant (spices!)

You ever wonder how high a credit card rate can go? Just give one to your average black person and watch what happens.

The toilet, only Whites can use the toilet without cultural appropriation.

Take that you racists.

White people love fancy bicycles, audio equipment, and cameras.

If I’m not mistaken, Western Culture/White People took the lead in the abolition of the centuries-old practice of slavery, as well.

Thanks EveningStar.

Western Civilization is just about totally because of the accomplishments of Caucasians. Asians have created successful Asian cultures. Muslims have created societies that work for them. Are there any totally successful cultures/governments in Africa or Central or South America? The ones that come close seem to degrade in just a few generations when they go native. A lot of that early Caucasian accomplishment followed invasions and settlement by Scandinavians. Maybe it's a climate situation and necessity that leads to the accomplishments of Western Civilization.

Pure hypothesis on my part.

I don’t see anyone wanting to go any other nation; black, Hispanic, Asian, or otherwise.

Just compare white majority countries to black majority countries.

Case closed.

How about the English language? Quit using it, bitch!

Whites created an environment that protects the weak. It took thousands of years to perfect.

We were out for dinner with a friend of the spousal unit and the friend's husband. Somehow the conversation came around to current events and “white privilege”.

The husband (a cuckold based my passed dealings with him) said that there is no such thing as “white culture” but there is black culture, Hispanic culture and asian culture. I almost spit out a mouthful of very good Washington state Cabernet.

My response was that if there were no such thing as “white culture”, all the f^cking liberals could not have coined the term “white privilege” . There had to be some “culture” that triggers them.

The evening ended early, for some reason.

the integrated mode of thought: first in ancient Greece, then during the age of enlightenment in Europe, which spread to America

White people were also responsible for almost all scientific advancement. Goes back to Archimedes. Christianity played a major role by fostering belief in a universe that is orderly rather than controlled by whimsical or malevolent spirits.

How about everyone stop culturally appropriating and we all go back to whatever our own ancestral cultures created? White people can have agriculture, physics, engineering, metallurgy, medicine, and a few other things. Everyone else can have rocks and sticks.

[SoCal Pubbie]

A few everyday things we do or use that have been culturally appropriated by other races:

Tennis
Soccer
Gridiron football
Basketball
Baseball
Democracy
Building and driving motor vehicles
Building and flying airplanes, helicopters, and airships
Making telephone calls
Building and watching television
Making and watching movies
Developing, administering, and using antibiotics
Using the internet
Space travel
Building and visiting theme parks
Building and freeway systems
Building and riding railroads
Manufacturing and riding in elevators

Anyone else care to add?
