Because, it's that damned good...

Heh, I like the part where someone says being white means no one is looking at you twice or "looks at you with fear" (usually). Off the top of my head, people who are white and inspire fear - politicians and bigots and pigs. (okay, so I'm actually qouting hip hop. $5 if you know who). Even when it's your average white guy on the street, I look twice JUST to feel safe.
Lots of families that use whites like the boogie man - in fact, some tribes contend that white people are the result of cursed magic cast by ancient witches and night time enemies (no, not withcy-wiccan, you're not in europe anymore).

Thusly, the looking twice to feel safe.

Didn't the nation of islam say something on those lines at one time.

Don't know if they still do. Make it a point not to hang arround the noi.
