To address your assumption of German = Order. Before the first world war (and still being a very young state) 'Made in Germany' was associated with mass produced crap- not necessarily orderliness and organisation. Thus cultures can change (albeit within a few generations with correct incentives). Perhaps that innate flexibility and motivation has been forever lost with multiple generations of nannystate, marxist emasculation throughout most of the west though. It has been over 30 years since Britain bought (whole-heartedly) into leftist rhetoric, so I hold some hope for my country of origin still. Even if by many measures David Cameron is Tony Blairs true successor.

I agree about the white guilt though. I believe it was 2% of the American population that even owned slaves, many other whites were conscripted by state law to hunt slaves- I imagine they were not fond of the immoral institution, seeing as it wasted their time and undercut their labour to boot. White guilt coveniently forgets that anti-slavery movements originated in old honkey Britain. Guilt or pride for actions you did not commit is simply an indulgence in ego or self flagellation- the bread and butter of modern political correctness and liberal cynicism.
