"Most cases of human history" was too broad. I was referencing since the age of exploration. The European colonization of the Americas, Africa, and some parts of Asia was the economic dominance I was referring to. My point is that it's actually fairly recent and aside from a maybe a few hundred more years of riding that wave, there's no reason to think white people will continue to be a dominant group.
