What if I told you that after the second World War The Netherlands did not have enough people left to work and rebuild so they actively put policies in place to get more migrant workers.
You clearly never been to the Netherlands.
Those countries "rose again" because of massive investments in them. If the USA let Germany or Japan settle their debts and rebuild on their own they would be third world nations still. The same is true for Korea.
The greatness is money from foreign sources not some racist bullshit notion of inherent greatness.
By your "logic" the actual "greatness" is entirely American. That is of course a moronic notion as America had the money because European and Asian economies were devastated by WWI & WWII.
Your unpopular opinion is unpopular because it is just racist.
