How many societies that white men created, such as the western world, that is less sexist, less racist, less homophobic, less discriminatory against anyone who is totally different?'

Just how many exactly? I won't feel bad if I am wrong, and forgive me for my ignorance. But how many societies exactly are more progressive than white male made western societies? How so? What ways?

Gosh, do you exclude societies that were built by privileged white men on the backs of black slave labor, on the backs of the dispossession of indigenous people, on the backs of immigrant wage slaves, or by the harsh labor of pioneer women? Clearly then you exclude my country.

I wonder if the fact that the initial question has a subject but no object* i some sort of very clever post modernist joke about the exclusion of the other from debate?
A Freudian slip is possible as well, of course.

*(or possibly an object but no subject, but I think the white society that is mentioned is the subject: is there a grammar expert in the house?)

And then not to be forgotten there was the cheap labor provided in the factories and in the mines by children before the passage of progressive child labor and public education laws.

Oh, those white men were really courageous.

More interesting than the grammatical goof is the insistence that the western world is a purely white creation: that'll be news to the Greeks and the Romans, won't it?

Greco-Roman civilization IS considered Caucasian. You can also consider as part of Occidental civilization the Ptolemaic dynasty in north Africa and the Byzantine Empire in the middle east.

Why don't you just read some history? Some knowledge would do you good.
