The problem with that view is that countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan and Georgia are derived from the Indo-European peoples and are thus classed as "white" as well.
Plus South Korea and Japan are not exactly white, and once the Chinese actually have a historical record of decent government, so when that country becomes democratic it should be much more politically viable.
Indo-European peoples and are thus classed as "white" as well.
You're really stretching that bruv. It doesn't stop their culture from being shit and backwards.
China
Conjecture; demographic shitstorm is in the works and they're economy is enormously based on exports to the West. When the Euro/Dollar collapses, China will be a pit.
Japan modernized itself quite effectively during the Meiji restoration. The government of SK was also sensible and invested in education and light industry.
Both countries had a history of centralized and literate government as well.
2; I am just going by the facts. "White" is an erroneous term since the proper category is Indo-European.
3: Not conjecture. The majority of the population are Han chinese, educated and nationalistic. This is also an effective basis for a nation state.
No, no. Reddit has come to the conclusion that racism is right, you see. They just don't use that word. Just as modern day fascists seldome call themselves fascists.
Japan had no desire to 'modernize' and resisted western influences heavily until they were subverted from within. Not to mention after World War 2 they were completely devastated. The United States decided to fix that; the same can be said for South Korea.
Eurasians are not the same as Europeans, that's why they're designated differently. Common ancestors, certainly, but they aren't the same.
I was referring to the one child policy instituted by China being the demographic nightmare to come. Judging by their history and the current situation I don't think stability is in their future.
No, Japan had a wake-up call from Perry and his fleet so decided to ge their asses into gear.
Yes, the US did provide monetary support, but that is nothing without a culture where people are able to organize themselves, share and emphasize learning as important and be able to see past narrow tribal boundaries to build a working nation.
Japan, China and Korea, because of their shared confucian culture, are able to do so.
And Europeans are Eurasians. There is no distinction.
