heh cute, in as much as i know i'm canadian so i remain unsure how much of this applies to me, i just wish my mother knew about all this white privilege so maybe we might have stayed above the poverty line while i was growing up, yes i do remember "you're not white you're canadian" either way no matter how you twist this all it is is a catch-22. i will admit to being blind to my own culture but growing up in toronto there were so many to learn from i never did get around to my own, nor will i ever be "colour-blind" (you guys really gotta learn how to spell colour right) i find the difference to be far too much fun. so for me what it means to be white is just to be a part of the world around me, just one more person to add to the diversity of it just like you be those words ever so hollow

Nothing.
Unkowns are unknown.
Poor are poor.
Lower class are lower class.
Lower middle class are lower middle class.
Middle lower class are middle lower class.
Middle class are middle class.
Upper middle class are upper middle class.
Wealthy are wealthy.
Kind of like the caste system.

Are we talking about "race" or culture?
If "race", it (and other "races") means nothing.
If culture, well, there are many white cultures just as there are black cultures... So the meaning varies according to culture.
By the way, not everyone has Powerpoint. (Not being a smart a*s... Just assuming that you want everyone to view what you post.)

Honestly it doesn't really mean anything. White people don't really have an identity as a group.
