White men are not allowed to grow old? How come?

Doesn't really seem fair, I'm gonna be a old white man some day, ain't really that much I can do about it...(Well, I suppose sex changes are a thing now, but really?)

Of course they are. I'm only stating a trend so people can infer.
Are you going to be wealthy, with your head buried in the firehose of an algorithmic feed? Those are things you can do something about.

Alternatively, you could take a crack at deconstructing whiteness. Depending how young you currently are, you might be able to make a dent by the time you're an old man. That's trickier though, because it involves serious social reform. Or if sociology isn't your deal, maybe you could become a biologist, and cure old age?
