Ugh at the notion of stories being reduced in merit because they are about ~white guy problems~. Catcher in the Rye isn't about Holden being white. Certainly him being from a well off family and high position of privilege and social status is part of his story, but that's not really what the book is about.

But like it or not, whatever. I loved it, but not because I loved Holden or anything. Not that I disliked Holden, I found him really easy to sympathize with while simultaneously shaking my head at what a massive, hypocritical idiot he was. It's just the psychology of the character, to me, is so well written, so like a depressed, impulsive adolescent without any direction in his life, and I guess I could relate to that a bit. If not the upper class rich boy parts.

But it really shouldn't inspire rage and disgust in you. Unless you're either a Concerned Mother or a social justice warrior who resents the fact that Holden is a white upper class male. Or, at best, someone who doesn't understand that Holden's flaws were written that way on purpose and they too are part of the story.
