White Hat or White Hat Guy is a stick figure character in xkcd. He is distinguished by his eponymous white hat which appears to be in the shape and style of a boater. His appearance is identical to that of Black Hat other than the color of their respective hats. (Interestingly, the two characters have never been depicted in one comic other than Click and Drag.)
In early comics, White Hat appeared mostly as a rare secondary character. Starting with comic 915 or so, White Hat started appearing more often and developed more of a personality, often playing the role of a philosophically misguided person. In this way, he's a bit of a straw man, making logical fallacies to help advance Randall's point. Other times, he is simply an alternative to Cueball, Hairy, or Megan.
