Answer:
A white lie is allegedly one which is done for someone's good and which harms no one.
There's no such thing. The philosophical view that allows people to think that lies can be harmless is one which counts the self as nothing morally interesting.
Some individualists sometimes say that they can lie without hurting anyone. This is a mistake and a philosophical contradiction on their part, and should not be taken as evidence that a philosophy of individualism can consistently permit lying under any but the most dire circumstances.
