A work in progress:

Last week Republican Congressman Steve King of Iowa rhetorically asked MSNBC:

“This whole ‘white people’ business, though, does get a little tired, Charlie. I mean, I’d ask you to go back through history and figure out where are these contributions that have been made by these other categories of people that you’re talking about. Where did any other subgroup of people contribute more to civilization?”

That was on July 18th 2016, not 1916.

A few contributions made those Other Categories of People (those not of known pure European blood), here listed by continent and their diasporas:

• Africa:at least 12 million slaves, the White House, human universals (clothing, fire, music, dance, art, language, jokes, morals, hairstyles, etc), paint, hammer, plough, irrigation, dam, calendar, taxes, geometry, plaster, toothpaste, make-up, shirt, bowling, rivet, wire, plywood, bed, table, chair, glass, pen, paper, ink, books, rings, mechanical lock…
