* RichKidTurnedSocialActivist: DeconstructedTrope. Whitney's parents are wealthy and run an exploitative real estate business. With Whitney's show ''Flipanthropy'', she claims to take part in activism to help poor people of color get the houses they need and improve their lives in general, yet the show is also portrayed as exploitative. Whitney's activism exists as a form of surface level relief for her white guilt.
