The Europeans

Are it seems to me a slightly different race, if you think about it there is no doubt its writ large in mountain climbers, explorers, conservationists, even socialism is European in origin. 
What other race crosses the world to climb a mountain just to say they did it? Of course the indigenous people of every country climb their own mountains every day but only one race does it for fun and a sense of achievement. Its the same with explorers and obviously the urge to go see is centuries old. The earth is known and so now the European is looking at the stars and preparing to travel.
What other race travels the world to find and try to protect endangered species be they people, and there are a few tribes hanging onto their individuality or animals. Some barbaric Europeans do kill animals for sport but most Europeans hate the hunting and killing of wild animals and object to it very strongly and vociferously. 
Socialism probably practiced in many non European countries was given a voice and rights by Europeans.
And athletics practiced everywhere and admired, respected and organised by Europeans.
Rightly or wrongly all over the world wherever Europeans have settled they have striven to improve their part of the world.
If you look at the modern Tiny House Movement Its classical European and the people building their own homes and trying to live 'off grid' are invariably European, they leave the cities and their home towns to find a place where they can build a house outside of city laws, maybe some don't make it but like their ancestors they do still try.
Europeans are not as bright as Asians but they are more adventurous and prior to the twentieth century Europeans were very proud of their adventurousness, their agility and their  spirit. That pride has been beaten down by would you believe Europeans themselves and its time it stopped. Europeans are adventurous, courageous and far more accepting of other races than most of those other races.
Its no good denying there is a difference between races we should all acknowledge and be proud of our differences. What other race would encourage others to move in only to hear those other races say Europeans don't have a culture? Europeans have a very strong culture  if it seems weak its because Europeans don't want to force it on anyone anymore. It would be a mistake to force them to defend it.
In many respects this is probably wrong. I could care less. I didn't write it for praise, agreement or the usual and highly suspect tut. Tutters...And do feel free to replace the 'T' with the more appropriate 'N'
