Why do you think no one feels the need to qualify statements like "This man was incredibly smart/strong/rich/moral/friendly... for a white man"? There are indeed no exceptional white people, just exceptional people, because white is the most inclusive group imaginable. There's articles like "black men are the white men of black people", even black is white!

With everyone under one umbrella, together, unified, like how every color of light together makes the White light, of course it can't be exceptional. It is without exception, it is everything.
