Dan White is a generic enough name that it could refer to someone else. How well known was the murderer Dan White in 1991 when Tucker graduated college?
It's a generic name, but what other Dan White is notable enough for a society to be named after? Anyone who takes a remote interest in politics knows who Dan White.
I didn't recognize the name, and I've seen the movie Milk, listened to multiple podcasts about him, and have posted on this forum for (sigh) almost 18 years.
And I would assume that White would have been more obscure in 1991 than he is now, as Milk hadn't been lionized yet then.
Weird then how I knew about him yet I've never seen the movie. But I knew the reference immediately when I saw the title (and remembered how White used to be an ally of Diane Feinstein but nobody wants to point that out because she's alive and old and it would hurt her feelings)
