White Guilt
A belief, often subconscious, among white liberals that being white is, in and of itself, a great transgression against the rest of the world for which one must spend their life making atonement. It is often exemplified by embracing the cultures and philosophies of various other ethnic groups while neglecting one's own roots........

In related guilt, I often subconsciously feel I'm transgressing against the rest of the world when I wear white after Labor Day..

No, you have presented too much reality for leftists to accept. Your opening remarks were right on target. Many of we conservatives have known this for decades.

Has it been proven that the conservatives are immune to such a condition?
And might it be possible to "embrace the cultures and philosophies of various other ethic groups"...while still keeping our own roots in mind?

As a conservative and speaking only for myself, I don't feel guilty one bit.

I am a liberal...and I don't feel any guilt either. I am just wondering if this "condition" crosses philosophical and political lines...or if it's more contained...

White Guilt
thas, I don't think this kind of thinking is part of the conservative mindset. Didn't John Kenneth Galbraith say it best:
"The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness."
