Never heard of those two economists, but I’m well aware of where porcelain i.e. china, silk, or gunpowder came from, and I’m also quite familiar with names like Ibn Sina (Avicenna) or Al-Zarqali. And of course let’s not forget Buddha and Jesus, neither of whom were white (nor black — just a reminder for some stray Black Hebrew Israelites :D). All in all, I would say the problem you describe is one of lack of education (after all the fool is only slightly more intelligent than the dunce, thus only marginally more educated) combined with natural human propensities (see video).

Then again, as a slavic/jewish bastard, I encountered racial attacks from white and brown people alike. So, racism as such, which I see as tribalism of the lowest rank (the “higher” one being nationalism, if one can even use a word like “higher” in this context), is not foreign to any ethnic group on Earth.

Btw. did you know that e.g. Romani people (but also Navajos AFAIK) in their native language refer to themselves as people (“roma” = man as in human), while everyone else is “gadjo” i.e. non-romani, hence non-human? Once an old gypsy explained to me that that is the reason why they are allowed to lend money for interest, steal from, or even commit violence on other ethnic groups but not among themselves. And orthodox Jews have similar rules (i.e. goyim can be “abused” by Jews, but Jews not — see Tanakh or Talmud).

But yeah, otherwise, a perfect read ;)
