Yeah, I wanted to say the same, somewhere in the middle it pivots to "white male has privileges". As a non-white male myself, it makes me wonder how accurate this article is, or if the author just took that particular lens to look at it.

If we look at European politics, there are those who have fallen up who are female and/or non-white, like Ursula van der Leyen, although arguably she benefitted from Merkel's backing.
