If you define "white" as "the level of melatonin in a person's skin" or some mishmash of ancestry, sure, being white isn't helpful to describe a group. This article isn't about that. It's about a culture (that is bound by tradition and heredity of which one sign is low melatonin) predicated on the philosophy that all one needs to succeed is a strong work ethic. In a lower-class minority culture, you're taught that success is possible, but needs to be fought for. In lower-class white culture, success is transforming into a stolen birthright.
