It really depends on the time and place.

If I, as a white person, would want to witness 2500 BC Egypt, while they are building the pyramids, I would definitely stand out as well. Can't make any statements on what they would do, but it wouldn't be something they'd scuff about.

Edit: I didn't mean to disparage the idea that white people created very bad places for PoC the last few centuries!
