Do Whites Play The Race Card?

This is an interesting column. In it, the author covers the story of a white schoolboy who has the habit of claiming that everyone at his school is "racist" against whites - which seems unlikely given that whites make up 85% of the playground.

So far, I agree with the author's point on this story: that the boy is wrongly playing the race card.

But I'm not sure I agree with his broader thesis: that whites are seeing the benefits of blacks playing the race card, and are deciding to imitate this. I don't see any evidence that whites are playing the race card as much as blacks or anyone else. Although in many cases whites face genuine racism, it seems they are the only ones who don't resort to manipulating it for their own gain. In fact, they're too busy being offended about racism on someone else's behalf to notice racism against themselves.
