Disclaimer: This is just for fun, and absolutely for no other purpose. We do not believe in superiority based on ancestors, race, nationality, etc in any context. We, in fact, believe that it is the least successful and most insecure people who use things they have had no contribution to whatsoever (like race, nationality, gene, ancestors, etc) to label others inferior, and to make themselves falsely look superior. We take pride only in our scientific contributions achieved through hard work and rigorously conducted research
