You?ll find white, black, brown, asian, etc men with all those same qualitie and concerns.
This is very true but you miss the point of the article.
The white man is the only one that doesn't perpetually whine about being a professional"victim" even though he has just as many problems as the next fellow.

Unless they're like Ward Churchill and make up some ethnicity that grants them "victim" status.
That's always been one of the most amusing aspects of liberal academia to me. Many of the largely white and affluent college professors go out of their ways to find some aspect of "victimhood" in their heritage. If they can't, many will just make something up.
I remember a sociology professor I had in college who very deliberately (and very hilariously) dropped her 'r's in order to sound more Cajun. Anything to avoid being an Anglo-Saxon.
It's their version of "street cred". It's like a hip hop performer making up a past as a drug dealer or doing some jail time in order to sell more albums.
