White guilt can be defined as a belief, often subconscious, among white liberals that being white is,
in and of itself, a great transgression against the rest of the world
for which one must spend their life making atonement. It is often
exemplified by embracing the cultures and philosophies of various other
ethnic groups while neglecting one's own roots.
Although Randy came from a family of middle-class W.A.S.P.s from the
suburbs, his white guilt later spurred him to become a Rastafarian.
