I've been reading Cryptonomicon recently. There's an entertaining bit where one of the characters asserts that beards are "totems of the white male patriarchal privilege".

It's a bit silly. But it is interesting to note that every bearded person mentioned in this article is white.

Wow, I never thought about it. Of the top of my head, I know LeBron James has a pretty outstanding bead! :]
