It depends entirely on the view point. Western might be the most advanced say economically or scientifically but at the same time I personally think that the tribes still hidden in the deep recesses of africa have got it best. To be that close to nature and so true with yourself is what I long to see in achievment.

It depends on what your definition of 'accomplished' is. But it may be taken wrong if you say "white" because that is the only part of that statement that would be taken out of context. Its not true either... you cant say "white" and say "western" together. Its like saying brown/Eastern.... Its just not possible for all of western civilizations to be White. And that is exactly why western civilizations ARE so accomplished.
good question... good luck!

Because its a lie, our culture is only the most recent on the scene. The ancient Egyptian Empire lasted for centuries (they would be "Arabs" to someone like you). Than there is the Greeks, the Romans, Chinese, Babylonians.
In fact, the Mideast was the most enlightened philosphically and mathematically region during the Middle Ages. While my ancestors (Britons) were running around in badly tanned deer hide, the Mesopetamians were bathing with soaps and scented oils, etc.

No it is wrong to suggest that it has something to do with the white race being somehow supperior to others though. But to say they have had more intellectuals in there past would be a fair statement perhaps.

Yes it would. China & Japan are leading the way in technology.
