We've entered a new age of racism and sexism, where as long as whatever group you're targeting is perceived to be 'privileged', it's okay to be hateful and divisive.
IMO there's a simple rule of thumb. If you can't replace 'white male' with some other group without the statement becoming incredibly offensive to you, you probably shouldn't say it. E.g., I sincerely doubt the author would be okay with saying "(and typically female)" or "(and typically black)" in nearly any context, so I fail to see why he/she feels this is okay.
