No one can claim having more superior jeans. Even the feared Mongols fell out of fashion. (infosec.pub)

You're half right. White people are not superior. HOWEVER... Your argument as to why is complete trash. The Mongol empire as impressive as it was didn't touch SE Asia, India, most of Russia, the entire fucking continent of Africa, or anywhere not connected to Eurasia. Also it wasn't the Mongols who burned the great library of Alexandria.

Where did I applaud the Mongols? Also, they burned the Library of Baghdad.

They're just saying that many other parts of the world weren't scourged by Mongols so the theory that Europe rose to prominence because it was spared doesn't really hold water.

That's if I understood them correctly.
