Why would it bother you enough to write this essay if you know it’s not true?

It bothers me when people find arguments to prove the current state of development of the Western world and the lack of development of everywhere else are inevitable, regardless of reason.

It almost always leads to a slippery slope that descends into scientific and then popular racism, ending with 'you are from X region/culture, you don't deserve to become developed anyway'. And the article the author is citing makes these sorts of claims.
