This is very similar to many European people's claimimg the title of being the inheritors of Rome, they aren't by fact and truth but that isn't all that important.

'Western people created EVERYTHING worth emulating. Not only science, technology and unimagined standards of living, but all of our cultural heritage.'

I must respectfully disagree. 'Western people' created nothing like the I Ching or the Tao Te Ching. The Analects of Confucius would be very hard to match.

I agree - and that adds another element of tragedy to the whole farce. There are genuine things worth praise and emulation in a lot of non-western societies, and yet they just push representation in western things. Somehow they manage to denigrate everyone, it's like a talent at this point
