I used to fantasize about what being Black, or Asian, or even indigenous American would be like. They all had rich cultures and we're certainly good people, while all my ancestors did was loot and pillage.
Then I learned that almost the opposite was true for much of history, and that my ancestors are responsible for almost every positive physical and social invention of the last several hundred years. I'll own that whites have also invented many of the not-so-great social invention of this time frame too, though... Such as "social justice".
