yeah that's a clickbait title. it is also apparently true.

In the world of television in 2016, some of the top-ten predictors of whiteness were watching Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, American Pickers, The Big Bang Theory and the Kentucky Derby. If were looking at specific brand names, the top 10 included Thomas English muffins, Sweet Baby Rays barbecue sauce and Stove Top stuffing.

More generally, in consumer products, the best predictor of whiteness was whether someone owned a pet followed closely by whether they owned a flashlight. Many of the differences appear to be correlated with wealth and homeownership, areas in which America suffers from vast racial disparities...

To maintain statistical integrity, the authors were able to break the population into only two categories, white and nonwhite, which may hide differences across a large and diverse population.

Within the surveys they analyzed, social attitudes and media habits were almost as closely linked to race as consumer behavior was. The racial differences in social attitudes were particularly notable.

By a relatively large margin, the view that best predicted being white in 2016 was approve of police striking citizens. In previous decades, the best indicator of whiteness was saying that the government was spending the right amount (or too much) on improving the condition of black residents.

I don't see why anyone does anymore really. We all carry a good enough flash light in our pockets.

If the power is out you can't charge your phone though. Hang onto the battery power as long as you can.

We have this battery-powered lantern thing where the sides can snap off to be used as their own flashlight. It's great when the power is out.

the flashlight thing is hilarious to me because a couple years ago me (a white person) wanted to get one while my wife (a nonwhite person) thought I was being ridiculous
