He's right though. Analyze the language of these people, and what word do you see? Power. Powerful. Empowerment. Empowering.
Power at all costs, power without limit, and power for the sake of power. That's all they really believe in.

And the illusion of power as well
These guys probably think themselves so highly just because of the sheer number of likes and approval they get from their fellows and ability to get together and gang up on someone/something and force em into doing something or changing
Really, these guys won't be so financially successful, will fold or run away against an actual threat

Simulated power
Many of these people are just a kind of LumpenStasi, they are perfectly happy to live as serfs in a corporate panopticon as long as they have the power to inflict petty suffering and humiliation on those they dont like. The kind of people who say nothing about banks raping the economy, but are perfectly happy to get some guy who cuts grass for a living fired from his job and socially executed for saying he doesnt like BLM.

The video is quite overdramatic. Note that Polygon didn't add the music; you can watch the original review here.
Its pretty clear that it was mostly his personal taste. Which isn't very useful.
MORE IMPORTANTLY:
I cannot find this graphic on any Smithsonian website. If you look on this search page on their websites and scroll down to "Some Aspects and Assumptions of White Culture in the United States," you'll find a link to this basic pamphlet, which has the same content as the one on this graphic; however, it was published in 1990 by Cascadia College.

Not much to do with the actual gameplay itself....honestly that white dude from polygon is a representative of the microcosm of ACTUAL "white culture" when you think about it.
Basically, anti-"masculine", awkward preaching hippy, "afraid" of non-troversies and subtly repressed when it comes to sexual and/or violence based entertainment

The accurate title is: The Smithsonian’s National Museum of African American History & Culture has made available this handy chart to better recognize what constitutes the “accepted normality” of “whiteness.”
Look what I found on reddit.
So what do you think?

That makes "Whiteness" sound pretty good.
Only things that I see any real problems with are in the "Competition" and "Communication" topics. I would hardly consider lack of morality, or "extroversion" a hallmark of whiteness.
And finally... 'Be polite'... how problematic for the leftists.

And they went so far left they have now circled back into alt-right.
This seems like a pretty accurate summary of the cultural norms and values of mainstream white American society. There is nothing in the actual posters that even implies that these are *bad* values, simply that these *are* the values established by that particular culture, which due to its dominant role in American society are often taken as self evident truisms and not cultural values.

The Falklands are Serbian, you cowards.
Like, what are they trying to do with this, make White people look GOOD?...

Searching today, I see a plethora of articles saying they took it down but I'm not sure how to verify that it was ever up in the first place and I'd really like to. Anybody able to find a cache or record proving it?

I think much of what's considered "good" is here as I remember reading the pic before
To be either very hypocritical or borderline social darwinistic
For Example: Saying hard work(and probably good smart decisions)leads success and/or stability is for them a lie or very insulting, because people are the products of their surroundings and individuals do NOT have the strength to resist as it shapes them
Just note how they depict it all in Hollywood or general entertainment
Women becoming wives and mothers is an "injustice" because it chains them down and obviously they'd all be much happier as Strong Independent Women who aren't chained down by husbands and children and they should all only/mostly aim for the same goals as men do
Sadness... So much dialogue was to be had.
