1. Windows XP - Indian software developers hired by Gates, on H1-B visas;
2. YouTube - an Asian dude, an Indian dude, and their white figurehead used to get funding;
3. Arpanet - inspired by fear of Russian sputnik launch;
4. Internet - Lawrence G. Roberts, Leonard Kleinrock, Robert Kahn, Vinton Cerf, and Al Gore; in other words, a Christian, a WASP, a Jew, another WASP, and a fat dude trying to save the world from global warming.
5. Lightbulb - Sir Humphry Davy, an English physician, and then British scientist Warren de la Rue (with a french name).
6. Telephone - Antonio Meucci, Johann Philipp Reis, Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray, amongst others, have all been credited; in other words, an Italian, a German, a Scot (Bell was born in Edinburgh), and an American.
7. Automobile - Ferdinand Verbiest, a member of a Jesuit mission in China, may have built the first steam powered car around 1672; François Isaac de Rivaz, a Swiss inventor, designed the first internal combustion engine.
8. Mass Production - Ford was first to introduce mass production in recent times, the idea was first developed in Venice several hundred years earlier, where ships were mass-produced using pre-manufactured parts, and assembly lines.
9. Electricity - Franklin came up with it; Galvani (Italian), Volta (Italian), Faraday (British), Ampere (French...hmm the "amp" sounds familiar), and Ohm (German...hmm ohm also sounds familiar) all took the ball and ran with it.
10. Enrico Fermi (Italian) and Leo Szilard (Hungarian Jew) were the first to build a nuclear pile and demonstrate a controlled chain reaction.
11. Jazz - Jazz originated in New Orleans ,Louisiana, United States at around the start of the 20th century. Born out of a blend of African American music styles.
12. Blues - evolved in the United States in the communities of former African slaves, from spirituals, praise songs, field hollers, shouts, and chants.
13. Rock and roll - began to emerge as a defined musical style in America in the late 1940s as an offshoot of both the rhythm and blues music, or R&B, of African American culture.
14. Hip hop - both a music genre and a cultural movement developed in urban communities starting in the 1970s, predominantly by African Americans and Latinos – primarily those of Puerto Rican ethnic heritage.
15. House - an underground spot in Chicago, attended primarily by gay black men, became known as "The Warehouse". The resident DJ at The Warehouse, Frankie Knuckles, mixed classic disco, European synthpop, new wave, industrial and punk recordings. Club regulars referred to his mixes as house music.
16. Techno - came from Detroit, heavily influenced by electronic sounds of Giorgio Moroder (yet another Italian), Kraftwerk (Germans), and Tangerine Dream (more Germans), among others.
17. Etc. etc. - Et cetera is an expression that means "and other things". It is taken directly from the Latin expression.
18. Hitlet and Stalin - ut was called World War II because there were many countries at war, not just us.
19. Smallpox vaccine - David Jenner, while at medical school in London.
My point here is that no one country can take credit for anything entirely. And it's precisely because of statements like yours that people think we're stupid.
Motormouth, indeed.
