Because most American white males are soyboy cuckfucks. Young ones are limp-wristed wannabe twitch streamers, old ones are just older versions of their wagecuck sons. Even my college professor PhD male -- who berated "basketball and football players are manual laborers" -- was a limp-wristed beer-bellied cuckold who forgot he even said that when later in the year he was talking about the home team game to the class and wearing a the team-logo tie to support the home team.
Success in today's world doesn't require genius; it just requires being a soyboy compliant faggot with the matriarchal, cosmopolitan, secular materialist, globalist status quo. Give it another few years, and part of his job review will be watching his wife blow a basketball-American and his job training will be retraining for proficiency in Pidgin.
