I think that destiny is a pretty abstract concept and that this approach to destiny seems very white to me. Green's sense of destiny seems to be centered around inevitability (which probably more accurately captures what destiny is typically about), while this character seems to be about maintaining a single concrete chain of events and considering things which deviate from that chain as sacriligious in some way, which seems like an exceptionally white attitude.
