Stuff White People Like

I'm another white person and I think it's absolutely brilliant. Very well written and observed!

Very amusing! Have you seen this one: faces in places? I sometimes think my bathtub spout and drain are staring at me.

Those are cute!

Water seems like a fairly simple concept. You turn on the tap, put glass underneath, and drink. Sadly, it is not this simple for white people.

On the whole, they are unable to put a glass under a tap and just drink. In fact, this is such a strange concept that the city of New York had to launch a rather large PR campaign to show white people that it was possible to actually drink the water that comes out of the tap!

That one is just so sad

I found this site around a week ago and I also think it is brilliant in describing the typical white yuppie. I am white myself and it's so funny because I see pretty much everyone of those generalizations that are written about in real life.

Yep I'm a whitey! lol.......... I thought that was a pretty good list actually

Except when i am mad at Canada I threaten to move to the states lol

[Trezker]

Mmm, multilingual children.
I'm Swedish so children get the best language in the world for free , but still I wish I knew some more exotic languages like Latin or Quenya.

I'm not like ordinary white people though, I think French sucks...

[Dan.Linehan]

And.... the site got a book deal for $350,000.

That's it! I'm moving to Canada.

[oberlee]

OMG, I'm at work and trying so hard to not laugh...both the White people blog and the Faces in Places blog are HILARIOUS...haven 't gotten to the rest recommended here yet...

oh but it gets worse, I seem to recall you saying that you never go to the east bay other than lectures at UC Berkeley?

However, it is important to be aware of the fact that regions outside of San Francisco feature many people who are not white, gay or Asian. They are greatly appreciated during the census, but white people are generally very happy that they stay in places like Oakland and Richmond. This enables white people to feel good about living near people of diverse backgrounds without having to directly deal with troublesome issues like income gaps or schooling.

to be honest I find the site disturbing on a deep deep level. I believe the quote goes; "life is a comedy to those who think, a tragedy to those who feel".

but I guess I should just shut the feelings off and laugh a bit for now;

The Prius might be the most perfect white product ever. It’s expensive, gives the idea that you are helping the environment, and requires no commitment/changes other than money.

If you are in a situation where a white person produces an empty bottle, watch their actions. They will first say “where’s the recycling?” If you say “we don’t recycle,” prepare for some awkwardness. They will make a move to throw the bottle away, they will hesitate, and then ultimately throw the bottle away. But after they return look in their eyes. All they can see is the bottle lasting forever in a landfill, trapping small animals. It will eat at them for days, at this point you should say “I’m just kidding, the recycling is under the sink. Can you fish out that bottle?” And they will do it 100% of the time!

As 2007’s Indie hit, it is alternative mainstream and white people love it when low budget movies do well, even though the $7 million budget is enough to feed thousands of villages in East Africa for a year.

go watch the film, "My Own Private Idaho". The first scene. It's not a happy movie, though it's a great one.

I don't get faces but I did get bubbles in my beer form a hand giving me the middle finger when I poured a glass last week.

Just for fun though everyone should list the reasons on the white person list that applies to you. I bet there will be good variety. I'll start;

#86 Shorts
#83 Bad Memories of High School
#82 Hating Corporations
#76 Bottles of Water
#70 Difficult Breakups
#59 Natural Medicine
#58 Japan (replace with Korea)
#55 Apologies
#48 Whole Foods and Grocery Co-ops
#47 Arts Degrees
#44 Public Radio
#41 Indie Music
#34 Architecture
#28 Not Having a TV
#23 Microbreweries
#17 Hating their parents
#11 Asian Girls
#6 Organic Food
#5 Farmers Markets
#3 Film Festivals

and of course;

#1 Coffee

that's horrible.
