In the following sentence, is the word 'be' used like 'whether'?
Also, is the word 'them' used correctly here?
\"Be them white or non-white, these are the people from the lowest
social echelon.\"

"Be them white or non-white, these are the people from the lowest social echelon."
意思就是:
"Whether they are white or non-white, these are the people from the lowest social echelon."

I suppose that this 'be' is in subjunctive mood. As for the 'them', it seems to me doubtful.
