I think he uses the term ''race'' in one of its old meanings-peoples,ethnicity...
Btw,nobody on Earth is more obsessed about ''race''(in its modern meaning) than Americans.

Japan, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Gulf Arabs and many many others have racial views that make most Americans disciples of Dr. King. Oh wait, most Americans are disciples of Dr. King in one form or another. The only place where race is really an issue is a small minority of the rural south and mountain west as well as the Urban Ghetto from the opposite side. Most Americans don't give a F'ck about race. Now immigration status is another issue, but that is less tied to race that some would like others to believe.

Actually I hate rascism!But since races exist,I only stated facts!As far as racism is concerned ,I do not think you could beat European nations.Both rascism and nationalism are two idealogies that emerged in Europe,not in Asia.

For a guy named Timur, you sure ignored China, the Central Kingdom, and their views towards the barbarians. How about Japan not giving Koreans citizenship even though they were 4th generation decendents of slave labourers brought over by Japan herself?
No one is clean but to state that Europe alone is ugly means you haven't looked in the mirror lately.

I need to repeat gain hat rascism and nationalism first emerged in Europe.Having said that I have nothing against Europe or Europeans.
Now,pls tell me what views did the Chinese hold towards ''barbarians''?
And this statement of yours''you havent looked in the mirror lately'' .Do you mean to talk about Turkey's kurdish problem,be a little bit more open,so that I can comment.Remember that I am a foreigner and can not speak /understand English as much as most here.

Originally posted by Officer of Engineers View PostChinese history is repeated with extermination campaigns against those who were not Han and even Han against Han when they were not the proper kingdoms. The tales of the Three Kingdoms are ones of bloodshed and genocide.
What did Timur do to Istanbul and Afghanistan?
What did Timur do to İstanbul?Tell me!I bet you know it wrong?You will talk about the 2 Turks in a battle field.
I guess you try to mention Timur against Yildirim bayezid.Tell me more about that!
Are you one those that consider Timur as so-called Mongol?
Even Genghis by birth not 100% mongol.

Timur

from these 3 options i would choose Rome.
but i think basic American Character is based on the rebellion of individuals against a powerful authority.
i think todays American Character is most likely reflects this issue.Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none; be able for thine enemy rather in power than use; and keep thy friend under thine own life's key; be checked for silence, but never taxed for speech.

In India the beginnings of the caste system have their basis in skin color. Fair skinned conquerors = high caste, dark skinned natives = low caste.
The Chinese for centuries thought they were superior to all else and existed on a plane between heaven and earth. They didn't get that idea from Marco Polo.
Bushmen once populated half of Africa. Today they are about relatively as common as natives in the US. What happened to them? The Bantus.
IIRC, the colloquial Arabic term for a black person translates as "slave". Black slavery was a practice that was actually picked up by Europeans from Arabs.
Every culture in the world has racial and ethnic slurs, and had them before they even heard of Europeans.
For thousands of years entire peoples (distinct in culture, language, and appearance) have been put to the sword on that basis.
If you think all this stuff originated with Europeans, you're either ignorant, delusional, or both. And it seems like both."Every man has his weakness. Mine was always just cigarettes."
