Actually whites are responsible for a large fraction of the civilizational advancements that we enjoy today.  A classic text on the subject is Charles Murray's book: Human Accomplishment.  At this moment almost all things white are being denigrated: in the media, in popular culture, in education both in lower schools and universities. However this is a false portrayal.

If you look at British history they had one of the most enlightened cultures in history.  They led the whole world in Parliamentary Government, in the industrial revolution, in the sciences.  The indigenous cultures your parents were so proud of were practicing cannibalism and never developed a modern society.  That's why in 1500 AD they were were such push-overs for a few men armed with guns  (which indians never invented) and iron weapons (which the indians never invented either).  For your daughter's sake, please read some history!
