I might buy this if the most powerful and wealthy people in the country weren't unapologetic white men.

wtf does unapologetic white men mean?
white men have to apologize for the color that they were born?

I said this in another reply but the comment I replied to was referring to "unapologetic white males"

In order to put white men in their place, they must understand that their opinion doesn't matter because they are white men. They cannot know adversity, they cannot have any opinion on minority issues. Therefore, if you want to participate in a discussion today your best bet is to try not to appear obviously white or male, and if you must concede that fact you ought to apologize for having an opinion in the first place, since nobody asked for it.
Being an unapologetic white male would imply that you felt like you could give your opinion freely without having someone immediately attack it as invalid because of your race and gender.
But I guarantee that every time a term like this gets used, the replies will imply that anyone identifying as an unapologetic white male is in fact racist.
It's a great demonstration of how the counter culture has in fact become culture. Anybody who really doubts this probably doesn't have kids or spend much time around younger adults.

In practice, yes. Expressing pride in being white and male tends to be career-limiting.

Why did you include the word "unapologetic" in this statement?

Can you give a few examples?
The 30 under 30 sure doesn't look like what you suggest, and I'm not sure where else you'd look for a list of examples

A quick Google yielded this https://itep.org/the-geographic-distribution-of-extreme-weal.... The makeup of Congress is also very white
