The post says nothing about exclusivity. Just attributing it to his own race but not at the exclusion of others.

Why is being confidently wrong considered an exclusive or primary trait of white males, and why would anyone attribute this behavior primarily to their gender or race?

Needlessly divisive identity politics that gets spread around a lot in the form of tweets/articles/memes because it’s controversial.

Life experience. In my experience, men are generally speaking more confidently incorrect. On the internet I see this trait most often with US Americans, regardless of skin colour. In real life, I see it often with consumers of tabloids or russian news.

As an Estonian, I’d just say that Americans have a heavy presence on the internet, that’s all. In my opinion, it’s a human thing, not a matter of race, nationality, or gender. If there were a study showing that one of those groups had a higher prevalence of that behavior, I’d expect it to change over time, just as women and men in South Korea have recently shifted their voting patterns. In other words, the behavior could be tied to temporary cultural/other factors.

The english-using internet is predominantly American men so it’s a sampling bias unless you were to switch languages.
It’s pretty ironic we’re talking about being confidently incorrect, with confidence, and based on anecdote with no research.
