However the "outsized achievements" are used as one rationalization/justification for resentment, and in their arguments for more institutionalizing racism in the name of ending racism. It's a flavor of disparate impact theory. White people built a more successful civilization than blacks and indigenous groups, therefore it must be the result of White people oppressing those groups. And while nobody will ever word it this way, the ability to engage in an efficient global slave trade at the industrial scales it was done at in the Atlantic Triangle is an outsized achievement. (especially if you include Arabs in the "White people" group - they truly mastered the trade)

The Portuguese weren't going to corner that market. They were at war with the Ottomans.
