Because Europe discovered them first.

>why did Europe discover them first
Because the Ottomans (when they were at their peak and kinda ruling Eurasia) were cucking us out of a trade route, which forced us to go by sea. The Spaniards accidentally discovered America after.

And E. Asian's (it should only be China really, Korea/Japan were never that relevant) got isolationist/comfy and didn't industrialize.

white scum came first

East Asia became isolationist at one point and missed it out.
Africans were never developed enough to pull it off I think.

I imagine it has do with access to the wider culturesphere.
Ideas and inventions in Eurasia flowed relatively freely back and forth and even if a civilization fell it's legacy didn't.
Compare that to many civilizations outside that sphere, in Africa or the new world and you will see rises and falls, but little retention.
Compare that to Europe that got the legacy of the ancients preserved and exploded when it reclaimed it.

Or niggers have low IQ, I donno lol

Mozambique to Madagascar, 700 km
Borneo to Madagascar, 7000 km

Guess which people settled in Madagascar first

Because Europe was dirt poor, far removed from the centre of civilization, and was desperate for stuff.

East Asians had most of the things they wanted; their explorer fleets were basically a way of showing off.

West Africans did not know that there were things that they wanted; they had no explorer fleets.

And then some fool went west because he thought it would take him directly to East Asia, and because he thought the world was 6000 miles in diameter. He accidentally hit land.

There is a very good 3 part documentary from National Geographic describing this topic pretty well. It's called: "Guns, Germs, and Steel" You can find it on Youtube.
