[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Protestant work ethic, low corruption and rule of law as well as a primarily European demographic though Argentina was one of the weathiest countries in the world a hundred years ago and predominantly European dervived.[/quote]

The same old lies again and again. There is nothing called protestant work ethic. Every culture works hard depending socio-economic factors not religious or racial. How did Japan with buddhist work ethic still kick some protestant ass? Or the modern day Koreans or Chinese or Indians? How is Germany(50% catholic) and France(mostly catholic) doing just as well?

So now with the rise of China and India, what happened to the protestant work ethic? Have the whites become lazy? China is the largest economy today. Does it make Chinese the hardest workers and make TAOIST/Buddhist work ethic the best? Asians in Americans are the most successful and many actually consider whites to be lazy. What happened to the famous protestant work ethic? Its just a lie. The generation of whites who grew up in relative comfort are lazy today compared to Asian Americans. Thats all.

I'm the PP you're responding too.

Yes, WASPs are no longer the dominant group in the USA in terms of business leadership, politics, media, culture and demographics.  Germans, followed by Hispanics are the two largest ethnic groups in the country.  Wealth made them lazy and they have been outcompeted by hungrier newcomers.[/quote]
