Exactly, thats why I believe the majority of academic literature that advocates for "colonial, white male guilt" should be thrown out of the window. It is counter productive for anyone who digests that information. It reminds me of those who are constantly told about the class system in the U.K, the socialist intellectual types you see on question time love pulling this out there. Even before capitalism and liberalism were around, you have history littered with stories of poor, disadvantaged people being able to climb up to the ranks of power, wealth and influence.
As for muslims not doing well in the West its an interesting one. Chinese and Indians in inner city London, even if they do come from the estates; eventually manage to pull themselves out and start doing well for themselves, someone will have to do a study on that. It does have to be said that, in Birmingham, Muslims have a strong monopoly in their areas over business; the same "us versus them" mentality. On top of that they are able to appeal themselves to councils and the authorities, by saying that they are being discriminated against. These are mostly Pakistani muslims or Bengalis however.
