You are prescient, and you encapsulated my response. The white gold standard is something a lot of whites also don't pass. I grew up and continue to partake in both Black and white culture. I have talked with every class. I have talked with a white racist South African and he said I was the sharpest guy he met. I have talked with a homeless man. I have talked with q prostitute on New Year's Eve, and after saying I wasn't buying she told me about prostitution as we walked down 10th Ave. I have talked with the CEO of American Express. Rockstars Movie stars, a pregnant Japanese dominatrix et Al. We could have a conversation because I think and can listen without judgement or being star struck.
Greg is in contempt of that which his betters have lauded as being the height of culture. His comments are more about his personal inadequacies which are not shared by the entire group that he decides and has contempt.
