Boy do you have your facts wrong, for your information slavery was completely abolished in Latin America long before the US even thought about it, European countries had them up to the 20 th century in Africa, in fact Apartheid which was a form of slavery was not eliminated until the end of the 20th century. As for inventions , as far as I know the all time greatest inventions come from Asia, powder, paper, compass, no progress would have been possible without these three. And I think you are assuming I am not Caucasian, my family is Portuguese and British, white of course.
