That quote was highly racist to me, I think it is insulting to say “budget culture” which is really planning, measuring, estimating, forecasting etc. is somehow rooted in “White” anything. Every culture that still exists has incredibly impressive feats of budgeting. There is clear evolutionary pressure for planning well. Anyone around today has an ancestry full of “budgeting”.
In fact I would say the “white male” budget culture is subpar to many other non-white cultures if you look at our saving rate, credit card debt, and general solvency.
Finally it is offensive to claim there is such a thing as “white male” culture. There isn’t and to say there is is just “othering” or defining a group that is fair game to criticize based on the color of their skin or gender identity.
