Y'know, it hasn't been that long ago that the color white was considered to be negative because it's the color of dried up bones and dessicated earth, all representing death. If we look hard enough, we can always find something to complain about or get our noses out of joint. It's just as easy to find something in common w/each other but we, as a society in general, don't seem to want to do that. We claim to want unity but our real belief in separateness is revealed in stories such as this. Sad.
