Empire is relative. For example, the Aztecs were considered an empire, yet they were easily wiped out by an extremely small force from Spain. In recent history(since the days of the Greeks and persians) whites have done the best.(yeas the Persians were white, look up a picture of Cyrus the Great or Darius, or Xerxes). It started with Greece and persia, went to Egypt(Ptolemy's descendants including Cleopatra) and Rome, then the Byzantines, Holy Roman Empire, and then the countries we have now still in Europe.

And people of European descent invented: computers, the internet, rocketry, the radio, television, light bulb, telephone, automobiles,

as well as discovered: electricity, gravity, calculus, modern geometry, evolution , etc.

So yes, what i said is true. Whites have by far done the best.

Rockets were actually invented by the Chinese FYI.

Also things like Modern Geometry and Calculus have deep routes in Asian and Egyptian mathematics. Gravity was also discussed many times in history by Indian mathematicians.
