If I could pick one trait I would associate with White people with in abundance, it’s adventure.
They go to the most obscure places in the world just to collect knowledge, and I see something of this in everyday White people.
I don’t think if you went back to pre-colonial era Whites, you’d find much of those traits you listed in abundance. I think the bulletpoints you made are characteristics that became important as products of their civilization, and not due to their inherent nature.
It took a long time for intellectualism and professionalism, and all that to become the culture, and as you mentioned it isn’t the culture in all their groups, despite being beneficiaries.

This point is very misleading and only looks at things from a recentist perspective.
Before the 1970s there were barely any non-whites in the West (excluding natives like Amerindians/Australian Aborigines & descendants of slaves). Countries like Australia even banned non-white immigration outright until recently.
Whites used to be extremely xenophobic in the past. Only in the past 50 years did they become cosmopolitan and nobody knows how long it will last. Rightwing xenophobic populists like Trump etc are rising all over the West. Most whites vote for such parties. Tolerant political forces like the left-wing heavily rely on the non-white vote.
White people from Northern European countries are much superior to Asians. Culturally of course. Asians might have higher IQ but they lack many other things. For example emotion or ambition. They are working drones. They also copied inventions from whites to build their societies. Imagine copying someone who has a lower IQ than you.
Tolerance of ethnic and racial minorities is more recent, yes, but tolerance in general has a centuries long tradition in the West. The Dutch, for example, have had freedom of conscience enshrined in their constitution since seventeenth century. Some of the American founding fathers, when also enshrining freedom of religion in the U.S constitution, specifically mentioned Islam as deserving equality with Christianity under the law....and yet in the 21st century, there is no church in Saudi Arabia.
Somalis in the diaspora could have improved things over there if we had security. If there was the slightest chance for Somalia to move forward and Somalis willing to work hard I would have gone back and contribute.
I don't know what you are talking about. Being adventurous/nomadic is also a Somali trait but yet Somalis remain extremely backward. It's the adventurousness COMBINED WITH the northern white cultural dispositions toward hard-work, knowledge seeking, and institution-building that resulted in their success. Somalis have the adventure part down, but the rest is zilch.
Catholicism and Islam are alike in being strict. Modernity/Democracy and Strict dogmatic religions dont work together
PS MBS or Saudia does not have a democracy
I agree. Arabs are extremely backwards. Even Arabs don’t want to be arab anymore. They are distancing themselves from the ‘Arab’ label since they know arabnimo will get them nowhere. They are now referring to themselves as Phoenicians, Amazigh, Africans(Sudanis), Mesopotamians. Claiming ancient dead civilisations just to distance themselves from the arab label.
Hold on there. U have to distinguish the arab language and the arab people. its okey to give kids arab names. The language has been praised by God in the Quran. lol

Nomadism isn’t adventure. They’re being forced to move.
No, it was adventurousness COMBINED WITH the right tools at the right time. I think if most other groups had the weapons and other technology that put them in a unique position at the time, they would’ve kept to their bordering lands, instead of colonizing the world.
White people risked disease, death and destruction traversing oceans willfully and repeatedly. Most of the shipwrecks, sea deaths, and even documentation we have on how societies form from scratch are based on White shipwrecks.

That religious tolerance was only for Jews and Christians. They wanted to stop Christian infighting between Protestants and Catholics. They used to slaughter each other like Shias and Sunnis do in Iraq.
The US prevented the migration of Muslims for a very long time through other underhand methods so they never became a threat in the past and that religious freedom never was truly tested.
Now that they are a demographic issue, look at the response: Trump's attempt at a Muslim Travel Ban, many anti-Muslim parties in Europe etc.
Do you think those "right tools" just fell out of the air? Clearly developing those tools results from the cultural traits I mentioned, e.g. work ethic/focus on knowledge.
I'm not sure what the utility of reciting historical exclusions is. If anything, it only highlights the laudable progressive nature of white northerners that every few decades new groups are embraced and protected by the tolerant and cosmopolitan culture, unlike Somalis who are today as xenophobic as they were a thousand years ago
also, Trump represents a coalition of low class whites. southern whites, and other backward groups that are not really part of the cultural groups i am discussing

Jews made them tolerant. They didn't do it themselves.
Jews were heavily behind civil rights legislation and opening up the West to global immigration (both in America and Europe).
The real ethnicity to look up to are Ashkenazi Jews, not these goyim.
Trump represents the elite Rich whites. They even think other middle class Whites as a specie to be get ridden of!
