The white liberals conceive of themselves as members of the elect who are apart from the greedy and racist society of their similarly skin toned peers. They conceive of minority groups as inherently good naive babies and in need of "their" protection. Protection takes the form of institutions like the government agencies, NGOs and legal action. Without the protection of those institutions, all the naive babies would die, or at least be really sad. The greed and racism, the impurity of the middle class is like fuel to propel the institutions on the road to the New Jerusalem.
