Browns are too fucking stupid to realize how much they owe the white man.
At this point whites and asians are the only ones that have a concept of the passage of time
@Morghur from everything I've witnessed this seems to be true.
Infact the main reason China has such a vendetta against the Western world is because we burned and destroyed all their precious artifacts/treasure that they kept for centuries in pristine condition when we invaded them in the late century.
After that it wasn't hard for the Communist to come in and convince them to destroy the very last of the artifacts they had to quote remove the century of humiliation and regain power by embracing the modern world.

The destruction during the opium wars wasn't that extensive. It sucks that some of the things that got destroyed did, but far more had been burned in previous chinese wars and they had plenty left.
I doubt it even remotely compared to the cultural revolution, which was countrywide.

And tbh even today it's just that.
Shit, good point.
Any other time they'd been beaten it was by barbarians who of course immediately adopted superior chinese culture, so the blow wasn't as harsh, whereas the only value Europeans saw in Chinese culture was bringing souvenirs home.
