White male suicide is germane to the discussion, but it needs to be more closely mapped onto the scapegoating phenomenon or the relevance is not clear. To state that white males have no one to blame implies other demographics do have someone to blame, hence lower suicide rates for them. One implication of which is that blaming others may be better for mental health.  Another is that white males have it tougher than anyone else, in part because they take responsibility for their own actions. Is that what you were reporting?
