So, the writer saw fit to draw attention to the fact that the man who allegedly "can't evolve" is a "white man".

Wow.

Perhaps for his next submissions he could draw attention to the leader of India not evolving, you know, a brown man as he is, and the leader of Japan not evolving, you know, a yellow man that he is, and the leader of Uganda not evolving, you know, black man that he is.

Oh, except the Globe and Mail editor would not have let any of those turns of phrase make it to press...
