> He was directly told that he won't be promoted because he was a white man.

Even if that was true (I don't believe his allegation), that's just _one company_. He obviously considered himself a very intelligent and capable person, so it seems the obvious next step would be to go work basically anywhere else? The Dilbert comics never seemed to push the ideal of company loyalty, so I don't think he felt trapped by obligation there.

One only needs to look at the upper management and board of any fortune 500 to disprove the idea that only non-white women are getting promoted.
