[quote=Smooth Operator;5390941]      First of all, I have alot of respect for the Orientals and wouldn't think of downplaying their achievements and chalking it all up to they copied Whites like some people on here do. But second of all.......I'm sorry but places like Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan and South Korea would definately not be as successful or advanced as they are today without Whites. Hong Kong and Singapore were of course British colonies and learned much from the British. Japan and South Korea of course both have had a White American presence since WW2 and the Korean War....Before WW2 Japan was not very technologically advanced...at all. Neither was South Korea but look at them now, they learned alot from the White Americans, it's true. The four most successful Asian nations with the highest standard of living are what? Hong Kong(not a nation,but semi independent from China still), Singapore, Japan and South Korea right?? Coincidence???? Nah. But Asians are very intelligent and creative people I respect them a great deal. But.........they have learned a heckuva lot from Whites, no question.
