3. #67 needs to be amended
White People love standing still at concerts except to clap on every beat, as if they were listening to a rousing march tune.

If the tempo's too fast for that, they love to clap on the 1/3, because the rock 'n' roll 2/4 is the product of a communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily rhythms.

14. oddly I noticed that folks were clapping on the upbeat of every musical
selection while I was watching ice-skating. (or so it seemed) Music with a more complex time signature baffled them as well! ;)

4. WOW! And for all these years I thought I was white.
After reading that list, I guess I'm not.

I know there are a few things on that list that I am "supposed to like," but I've gotta tell ya...I really don't.

A few of 'em are downright pains in the arse.

:evilgrin:

7. I think it's funny....
Edited on Sun Mar-23-08 05:21 PM by Fountain79
I can identify some people from the list. For example, I know so many people who go on and on about sushi. I also love it when people tell me "I love REAL Mexican food, not that taco bell crap!" i.e. "Being an expert on your culture" I am Mexican and I love Taco Bell. I know it's not Mexican food, it's still good!

12. It's hilarious
It was recently sold to Random House for $350 thousand as part of a book deal.

This pic from #6 is priceless.

11. I like your post, and
the blog.

Some people just don't get it. I expect this place to have a lot of the ones that don't.

8. #9 "Making you feel guilty for not going outside"
I don't hate the outside, but when the weather's inclement (especially HOT) I prefer staying in. People say "why don't you go out, it's such a nice day!" Naw, I'll stay in with my air conditioning thank you...

9. this has been posted before, but everyone should know about it
I think that's one of the funniest websites ever. What amazes me is how totally spot on it is. For years I've been going on about how I hate whitey, despite being white by appearance myself. This website has taught me that I'm just the "wrong kind" of white person. I feel so much better now, though I do feel a little guilty that probably 25% of that stuff applies to me.

24. i guess not everyone has the time to be an online dweeb in the vanguard of minute-to-minute net
"kewlness."

does it really cost anyone anything to NOT be a dick?

13. could be something that folks of a certain class like
more than just what Caucasians like...


I can think of a number of folks I know from a variety of cultural backgrounds who like these things as well. ;)

15. I laughed my ass off at that site...
I'll admit to being guilty of more than a few things mentioned (expensive coffee, yoga, living abroad, dinner parties (although lower-stress), shopping at a food co-op...) :rofl:

18. See....
I don't think the site you just showed was made with the same intent. Perhaps I am wrong, the "white" list was meant to be a satire of "enlightened' white culture. The site you showed seemed to be more of a point of pride. Again...maybe I am wrong.

26. Thanks
Actually, I found a link to some cool T-shirts there. Otherwise, I found I must not be very white, despite my obvious lack of pigmentation.
