Comment: Pierre, if everyone had the same inventiveness and same average IQ and the same level of criminality, do you think so-called 'white privilege' would exist? You dwell on this concept. White privilege is mostly a Leftwing term, as is their 'concern' with worldwide inequality. (The problem of achieving  'equality' in the real world of massively different educational outcomes (and GDP) is a tall order. SA, Ghana and Botswana come bottom out of 144 countries in the TIMMs international standardised tests (as would most African, and South and Central American indigenous people if they did the tests. Honduras also figured at the bottom when it entered. How the hell are they going to compete with, say Singapore which comes out on top. Singaporeans wouldn't recognise white privilege whereas OUR Africans and African Americans would. Why do pseudo-intellectual Left-wingers ignore these basic premises? To me so-called 'white privilege' is simply the result of Western (read 'white') civilisation.
