Oluo isn't insinuating all white men are mediocre: "What I'm saying is that white male mediocrity is a baseline, the dominant narrative, and that everything in our society is centered around preserving white male power regardless of while male skill or talent." The book's title hearkens back to a plea by writer Sarah Hagi in 2015: "Lord, give me the confidence of a mediocre white man." The words from author Ijeoma Oluo in her new book, "Mediocre: The Dangerous Legacy of White Male America," out now, succinctly sum up the problems with a society that values white maleness above all others. "White male mediocrity seems to impact every aspect of our lives, and yet it only seems to be people who aren't white men who recognize the imbalance."
