Angry white men

Women and ethnic minorities are still underrepresented in virtually all walks of life, despite decades of equality legislation
Cath Elliott

White men probably aren't the first group that springs to mind when thinking about those who either lack a political voice or are under-represented in any western democracy. If you were to compile a list of the marginalised, ethnic minorities, women, lesbians, gay men, the disabled, and transgendered people would surely lag far behind those who have wielded the power since time immemorial.

Well, not according to one American journalist, whose recent column in a small regional paper seems to have hit a nerve.
