What I meant to point out (perhaps unnecessarily) is that unlike the adjectives Yoichi came up with (righteous, generous, happy, etc.) which a certain individual can become less of with time (e.g. the same young American may be less happy today than three years ago), the level of "whiteness" of an individual, whatever that means, is fixed at birth and cannot change with time, so the quoted statement is one about numbers. :-) | |
