It's telling that "white men" has become a byword, but to speak this way in intellectual terms is to subvert the very tradition that has struggled against what made it that way. (Note - I have not read the article.)
I tried to hit it up on Archive.is, but no dice, there paywall maybe too effective.
Perhaps the category "white men" is overbroad and too vague to make any kind of meaningful characterization. One day we may abandon such facile categorizations of each other in favor of something more substantive and relevant.
Alas, I could not read the whole article because apparently I have no more free articles available despite my never having even heard of TLS before.
