There's an urban myth that white lighters are bad luck.

    Isn’t luck a myth to begin with? This is like saying knocking on wood is a myth. That’s inherent to all superstition.

    Luck definitely exists, but actions like knocking on wood or not using white lighters don't influence it.

    Having white skin increases your luck. People will just seem to treat you a little bit better, and opportunities will come your way with less effort. That's because people are racist.
