> I feel most of these 'cultural prognosis' are generally just old racial prejudices being justified to fit whatever one sees.

I think there's an element of truth to your statement. One key sentence in the essay that lends itself to your conclusion is this one:

" A thar-dominated society will never achieve equality, regardless how prosperous it becomes, because prosperity for the masses is a direct affront to the status of the elite. "

But we know that our very own Anglo-Saxon society was very much a "thar-dominated" one until quite recently and although we've not reached ideal levels of equality, we have significantly cut inequality.

In other words, a "thar-dominated" society won't achieve equality, because the west typically isn't one anymore.
