In the workplace, the peculiar condition that turns a friendly, kind white woman co-worker into a raging bitch as soon as she becomes the boss. White woman syndrome is the result of a woman's internal gender need to prove to everybody that despite being female, she's just as competent and effective as her male counterparts. A boss affected with white woman syndrome fulfills this gender need not by actually managing well and performing good work, but rather by micromanaging, insulting, and being condescending to her employees.
This condition does not seem to affect any other race/gender combination, just white females.
My co-worker Ashlie was so sweet, but as soon as she got promoted, her white woman syndrome kicked in. Now she yells at me for being 5 minutes late to work.
My boss has white woman syndrome. She questioned my competence at 8 a.m. this morning for not immediately proofreading a letter I got at 10 p.m. last night.
She was so nice during the interview, but my boss must have had white woman syndrome because now she treats me like I'm 8 years old.

The process of indignation that sweeps over a woman of caucasian descent, in which she believes her thoughts words and actions are above reproach and infallible; especially in the presence of minorities or dissenting opinions by other members of her race or authority figures. Be it at a barbecue in the park, a condo door entrance, or the parking lot attendant booth, she is right, you are wrong, and you owe her an apology and undying fealty for crossing her path.
While this condition can seemingly be found in women of other races, there is a level of unquestionable umbrage and privilege combined with an immunity to facts and logic that only seems to be extended to and affects white females of a certain persuasion.
This lady at the park has white woman syndrome. She questioned why I was sitting on the grass enjoying the sun, because she doesn't think I belong there. Then she called the cops on me, and yelled at them when they refused to ask me to leave.
My neighbor has white woman syndrome, she stopped me from entering the buildings front door last night, because I can't possible afford to live there, and she knows everyone. She started screeching at me after following me to my door and watching me open it with my keys.
This Becky has white woman syndrome, she's angry that my date and were seated to a couples table, before her and her big ass family, even though we got here at the same time. Now she's lying to the manager and asking for a comp meal, before they've even ordered.

When a white woman is so unaware of everything around her, she becomes a shell of a person; a plain old white woman.

The tendency of the news media to focus strongly on kidnap, rape or murder victims that are young, attractive, female and white while ignoring any similar victim that does not meet all four criteria. A notable example is the media focus on Jessica Lynch when her black squadmate Shoshana Johnson received no attention whatsoever. Nancy Grace is a prime perpetrator of the bias.

White Woman Oppression Syndrome (or WWOS for short), is a common condition in which Caucasian women, in particular American Caucasian women, believe they are the most important demographic and try to find any reason to feel oppressed, largely due to historical factors that have lead to women NOT being the most talked about demographic. Most commonly it is white women, especially those who are upper-middle class, who feel they're missing out in the oppression Olympics so they try to latch onto outdated or false delusions to prove their oppression.
"Black people are 5 times more likely to be locked in up prison and half as likely to go to college in America, black single-parents make up for 30% of all single parents, and black people are the victims of 50% of racial hate crimes."
"Yeah, but one time when I was visiting my friend in LA, I got catcalled by a guy I didn't find attractive. Don't you know women make 83 cents on the dollar of a man?"
