explain what you think Frye means; that is, reflect on the above passage and use it as a foundation

In On Being White, Frye writes:
Whiteness is…a social or political construct of some sort…Whites exercise a power of defining who is white and who is not, and are jealous of that power…To be white is to be a member of an in-group, a kin group, which is self defining…Members can bend the rules anytime, if that is necessary to assert the members’ sole and exclusive authority to decide who is a member; in fact, bending the rules is an ideal expression of that authority (pp. 114-115).

to show your understanding of the main ideas in her article. Then illustrate Frye’s claims by discussing examples from her article, “On Being White”, and from the book “Pudd’nhead Wilson” by Mark Twain.
