why does it seem there is a racial divide between those who are able accept a democratic government and those who are not? over and over it seems that arab nations and latino nations are more prone to dictatorships or leftist goverments whereas asian and white people are more able to accept democratic or rightist governments. i wonder why that is?

The more "modern" nations have moved beyond the old fashioned rule. Whites and Asians can go back to Kings and Emperors. We've just evolved.

They have "dicators" but in their eyes its just they way it's been. They're just trying to keep up with modern societies through engaging in the UN and such.

Separation of religion and government. If you look at history, when religion played an important role in how we were governed, many of the same issues were prevalent in 'european' society.

Islamic nations are simply 'behind' the rest of the world in that respect. They haven't benefitted from the religious reforms that Christiandom has.
