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.

This is a condition in which the person often or always has the feeling of being late. From the White Rabbit in Lewis Carroll's ALICE IN WONDERLAND.
While the life of a psychology graduate student is not often solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short, there is always more to do than there is time to do it in, and the white rabbit syndrome emerges.

A fairly common condition generally affecting males, White Knight Syndrome encompasses a wide range of behaviour related to "saving a damsel in distress". Almost always found near to or with Attention Whores, men affected by White Knight Syndrome are men who feel the need to protect, provide attention and affection, be viewed as "heroic", boost their ego, and generally feel good about themselves (usually because they have low self-esteem, or a small penis, or both).
Men with White Knight Syndrome are invariably attracted to Attention Whores or Problem Women (a sub-genre of the Attention Whore, the Problem Woman craves male attention and uses her often self-inflicted "problems" to attract the White Knight) because such women can cater to the White Knight's needs and vice versa--very much like the symbiotic relationship of bacteria and fungus in lichen. Men affected with White Knight Syndrome will spend long hours cuddling such women and giving them large amounts of attention and affection, sometimes struggling to hide their erections because the ego-boost feels so great. The male affected with White Knight Syndrome ends up in a position similar to the friend zone, but this does not matter to him--he's being a good guy by offering an Attention Whore more attention.

White Knight's girlfriend: "Shall we go out this evening? I worked hard all month so that we could go to that expensive restaurant we've always wanted to visit!"
White Knight: "Oh no! I'm terribly sorry; I was texting Suzie all last night behind your back and she says that she's pregnant again and her boyfriend raped her and her horrible, selfish father refuses to pay for her clit piercing, and she needs me to come over and hug her! I must go to her and comfort her, poor poor thing!"
White Knight's Girlfriend: "Isn't that girl using you as a snot-wipe on legs?"
White Knight: "No, I'm being there for her! I'm her shoulder to cry on! She needs me! I'm such a great guy!"
White Knight's Girlfriend: "What about me?"
White Knight: "Sadly for you, you're a well-balanced lady who doesn't have any problems and doesn't constantly burden me with your need for attention; you're not a damsel in distress and you can't provide me with the ego-boost I need. Go pay our bills, I'll be back in two days."
White Knight's Girlfriend: "Your white knight syndrome is getting out of hand. You know, I love you even if your penis is small."
