Sounds about white
And always saying it in such a matter that most people will struggle to refute it as they don’t understand what they are referring to by phrases such as ‘starting to add up’.
gotta love the old-world western talking point of “western countries are the only ones that are civilized, we’re technologically and morally superior to all the savages in the world”
Which is also where the “first world” “second world” “third world” terms came from.
Western governments still live in the 19th or 20th century. They think they still have the power to do gunboat diplomacy. But the world has changed.
At the risk of stereotyping white people, the profile picture for the author looks exactly like I’d expect someone who’d write that title would look: White, male, old/middle aged, neat and tidy hair and suit (which he definitely didn’t do by himself), upper middle class urban American if I had to guess.
