Put the tone argument away. What he's posted is not unrealistic, and you don't get to dismiss it as that because of its tone.

    There are places like Ireland that are full of angry white men that have been horribly mistreated

By White Men, right?

    look up what Shaka Zulu did

Of course non-white societies have disputes too. How is that proving anything here? All I'm hearing is "What about the black on black violence, huh?"

It doesn't prove that "It's a white man's world" is Americentric or historically blind. Racial segregation wasn't Americentric. Racial inequality in western societies today isn't Americentric.

    They're shallow, closed minded, insular, pedantic, and self-centered.

The self-centered angry white man is ambitious. The insular angry white man is strategic. The closed minded angry white man is focused. The shallow angry white man is discerning. The pedantic angry white man is someone who pays attention to detail. These are the traits that are framed as beneficial.

Angry women are clearly at that time of the month. Not to mention vain (shallow), defensive (closed minded), cliquey (insular), naggy (pedantic) and manipulative (self-centered).
