And their success had little to do with them being white and coming from middle-class families. It can mostly be attributed to their talent. I find it a bit funny that such moralisation comes from a person who studies, what I consider, privileged ("useless") studies.

My wife would argue that's racist bullshit from some asshole whose people probably haven't been murdered and forcibly erased for 400 years.

I don't see how imperialscum's comment was racist. I also don't understand the argument that simply because a person isn't of a race that has a history of being oppressed then his opinions are completely invalid.

As for imperialscum's statement that history is a "useless" field of study I definitely have to disagree, but I'm a bit biased because I happen to study history :p
