History and evolution are the reasons for there to be a diversity in culture. If you remember back when we had the discussions with Paul about the black and white moths. We figured that neither moth was superior than the other. The moths were instead better equipped/lucky to be around that particular change in the environment. I believe that it accounts for humans as well. And we have seen our past how so many of misconstrued Darwin's original theories. That's when I would like to introduce the topic of social Darwinism. It is the belief that social problems like poverty are due to the inheritance of bad genes. During the WWII era, Eugenics became one of the leading studies that set out to improve human-kind by genetic means. Hitler later began to expose the idea that it is the white aryan was the superior race of the world, and that it must not mate with inferior races. We know that this idea is rejected by many, but just imagine the rational that someone tried to impose for their misdoing. And now imagine how people try to rationalize racism.
