So what you are saying is...caucasians are the only people that give a shit about the rest of the world....because we are altruistic. The rest are cave men and only think about themselves because that is the only way they will survive? Reminds my of the Selfish Gene book by Richard Dawkins. He might be right. Black people never seem to help their own people....in Africa. Asians never help anyone but themselves? Arabs dont either.....still in barbaric mode.

Caucasians were selfish for so long that now the guilt has settled in and they need the others to catch up....but to do so will annihilate themselves. Maybe....but if you look at the trends...black/white/yellow....etc interbreeding....white seems to dilute all other races. Maybe caucasians will win....like the Neanderthals intergrating....they never died out they just absorbed and intermingled.

If you're talking to me, the OP, then no, that is not what I'm saying at all.

Fair point, but as you say they don't know it. I met someone who came to live in the UK from the biggest slum in Kenya. He told me that we don't realize that we have traded our humanity for material wealth. He goes home regularly to reconnect. He wants to earn enough here to be able to go back and set up a business there.

Its interesting, isn't it? I talk to a lot of foreigners that come here, mostly from India these days. They say similar things. Not about going home to start a business because they are starting businesses here, but that people have to smile more and have seemingly lost their way.

I have to wonder, will your Kenyan friend sacrifice his humanity for material wealth once his business starts doing well? Is it just in our nature? Hopefully he can learn from our mistakes.
