It makes more sense if you did out the previous post:

Apparently the problem is that wikipedian are following the general
trend of writeing about white men (actually wikipedians mostly writes
about inanimate objects). NOR makes this fairly inevitable. Given a
few centuries the only bits of history that people remember are the
bits written in blood and over the the last few centuries European
males have had rather a lot of such history while keeping their
civilisations intact enough to write about it.
