Things That Weren't Invented/Discovered By White People
Vulcanization: First invented by the Olmecs of what is now Mexico, vulcanization is a method of processing rubber. Charles Goodyear (of Goodyear tires) typically claims this invention, but he didn't reinvent it until the 19th century.
Snowshoes: Snowshoes were invented and used by the Native American and First Nation groups in North America.
Compass: The Olmecs certainly understood magnetization, and some evidence is beginning to suggest they invented the compass a thousand years before even China did.
