It comes from an assumption that a person behaves that way because he’s a white male, and proliferates the assumptions that white males are normally behaving like that.

Should there be a black woman asking the question, this wouldn’t be mentioned, even though the act would be the same. As such, this is a vicious cycle of highlighting bad behavior in white males and then saying “look, they are like that” - something that’s been done in the past to justify racism and sexism towards black people and females.
