3072, It means we're slowly co-opting what was once considere

We're slowly enjoying more of the finer things once attributed to white-ness (financial success, education, etc) but also inheriting the negatives too. The relegation of certain feelings or actions to a certain color was misguided and slowly we're seeing that our abilities and capabilities are identical. Saying we're becoming "whiter" everyday is a meaningful to me as saying a kid is "acting white" by speaking a certain way or doing well in school.
