Most whites think racial inequalities reflect differences they see as real — superior work ethic, greater intelligence, or other meritorious abilities of whites.

I'd be interested to know the truth of that claim. I certainly don't believe that to be the case in the communities of white people that I know and talk with. That's not to say it may not be true, but for anyone whose community isn't like that it would seem pretty offensive to be counted in with those holding views you find offensive simply on the basis of having the same skin color as them.
