Stuff White People Like

[corporatejay]

This is a hilarious blog, I'm only at #40 but most of this is bang on.

http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.org/




one of my favorites.

To a white person, being a fan of a band before they get popular is one of the most important things they can do with their life. They can hold it over their friends forever!

and

To a white person, a view of water from your house is the greatest achievement in life. And you should remember this when discussing your hopes and dreams with white people.

another beauty i found on my second read through.

But perhaps it goes deeper. Hundreds of years ago, another group of people believed firmly in natural medicine and it’s ability to cure disease. Then white people gave them blankets with small pox and they all died. So perhaps turning to natural medicine also helps white people feel better about killing natives.

An odd Canadian bent to the whole blog. I can't place where the guy is from at all.

Hrm.... if it was just a list it might be amusing. But he'll take something that I love and say "HAHA!! YOU'RE A MORON FOR LIKING THAT!!".

For instance, at #35 is the Daily Show/Colbert Report. I DVR each and every episode.

And here is why white people love it:
"It fills their need to do something productive, but also not work that hard at it."

I thought I watched it because it was funny, not because I was stupidly deluding myself that the show is educational.

Hilarious (stuff like wine, indie music, apple, vegetarianism etc perfectly describe certain "subculture" of our society), great find

White people love to make fun of politics, especially right wing politics. It’s a pretty easy target

so it still applies

Gold...!

[Flames89]

That is awesome!

Haha, that's hilarious. And ironic given that white people like his blog. But then again, irony is on the list so that base is already covered.

White people LOVE white people jokes. We eat them up.

Sortof like how Canadians love when American comedians tell Canadian jokes.

After reading that blog, I can only conclude I must be black and somehow didn't know it.

we should do a poll on left & right leaning posters here and whether they're white or not.

So good! I love the band thing

My girlfriend constantly reminds me that she bought Fiest’s first CD before anyone knew who she was…

[Dan02]

haha first when i read the title i read it as white stuff people like.

My Favorite so far!

Beginning in their late teens, white people begin an obsession with finding cool vintage clothing at local thrift shops and Goodwills. Making purchases at these locations address a number of white person needs.

First, it allows them to say “oh, this? I got this shirt at Goodwill for $3.” This statement focuses the attention on the shirt, taking attention away from the $350 jeans and $200 shoes. The white person can then retain that precious ‘indie’ cred.

Do you wear Timberlands, a basketball jersey, baggy shorts with your boxers hanging out and have gold teeth? I mean, I've never seen an actual pic of you, but that's kind of what I envision when you take your dogs out for a walk. You know.....tossin out the gang signs to people walking the other direction.

I like the one on sushi

Regardless if you are vegetarian, vegan, or just guilty about eating meat, all white people love Sushi. To them, it’s everything they want: foreign culture, expensive, healthy, and hated by the ‘uneducated.’

Well, it's true I was on the swim team and swam in the Alberta championships one year and have some fantastic water skiing memories of Lake Okanagan as a kid, but rarely get to a pool these days because the shoulders can't take it. . . . I did go to Europe before I was 30 but no hostelling or backpacking . . . . . and I, uh, definitely don't spend a lot of my day fretting about poor people (God Bless 'Em) . . . . I definitely don't know who Mos Def is and, more to the point, don't really care . . . . . . I seem to buy CD's out of the discount bin three years after they won the Grammy, not three years before . . . . . . I have danced to "Church" at a Lyle Lovett concert at Carnegie Hall in New York . . . . . . I salivate like a Pavlovian Dog at the thought of a piece of bread surrounding a weiner, with no garnish whatsoever, as a lunch time snack from my days as a kid fishing on the banks of the Raven River, which precludes me from the "Expensive Sandwich" section . . . . . I have three vehicles for two people, including two V-8 hemi's, so I'm a little out of the Prius category . . . . . natural medicine is for quacks . . . . . . uh, Japan?

Conclusion: I must be black.

There's no other explanation.

Except for the bicycle thing. I definitely like bicycles. That's odd.

That's 'xactly me!!!
