I understand that to you the world is easily and clearly divided along the lines of race. Because others do not share this simplistic vision, you dismiss their viewpoint by claiming they aren't as bright, brave, or active as you are.

That ain't it. What it is is this- the world isn't divisable in a meaningful way along the lines of a vague genetic category such as race. Knowing what racial category to place someone in, which raises enough questions of its own, tells me nothing about the quality of the person.

Generally speaking, those who monoerotically caress themselves most in speaking of the accomplishments of "my race" or "my nation" are people who haven't much in the way of personal accomplishments, seeking to ride the coattails of others who share their skin color or citizenship.

If you want, if its necessary, I'll compare the extent of my experiences in the world with yours, then- any question of "head-burying" dispensed with- we can get on to the issues themselves. Racism makes no logical sense and provides no basis for positive social and political action, and it is an ideology easily disproven when the racists try to defend it with thought rather than insults or violence- which is why so often the defense of racism takes those forms.
