"Etymology" is biased

Etymology is quite biased against language isolates and non-Indo-European langauges when it comes to "who borrowed what from whom".

English not only borrows words from other languages; it has on occasion chased other languages down dark alley-ways, clubbed them unconscious and rifled their pockets for new vocabulary.
