Nobody is saying all white men are like this, what they are saying that it is only white men who do this.

Being a white man who is aware of the stereotype, I in no way feel attacked by it. I do feel aware that I need to be careful not to interrupt my colleagues or to mansplain things that I may be less knowledgeable about. This response from me is beneficial to both myself and the people I interact with.

"Only white men do X" is absolutely racist and sexist. "Mansplain" is derogatory.

“Mansplain” is derogatory.

I agree that it is derogatory to mansplain to someone, like to tell an expert in a subject that they don't know what they're talking about and thinking that's okay because they are a woman.

What I meant is that it's derogatory to use the term "mansplain". Sorry for confusing you.
