stuff white people like

lots of rap records sample white music like edie brickell but then they use their special not-wite musical powers to make not-wite music out of it :)

This definitely has its funny moments but it's essentially reductionist, divisive, and shallow humor. I don't take offense at this (as a white guy, I mean) but it leaves me a little meh.

entire blog owned by the 'sideways' joke in '30 rock' basically.

lol yes

was going to talk shit about brand nubian name drop, then remembered thats who br3ihan wrote his piece on for 'marooned'

didnt they release an album last year

I don't find it particularly funny, but I find it enormously interesting.

very much in character 2008

So if I was to say that this comes off more like it's satirising someone else's satire - ie lazy "white culture" zings - a lot of you would think I'm giving it too much credit?

I think there's too much authentic bitterness in the jibes for it to be a parody

max & deej totally fucking otm, if maybe getting a little carried away. site trades in smug, condescending frat-boy yucks. lolz @ goofy non-profits, "caring about poor people", etc. doesn't even make sense. these aren't white things on any level.

yeah. way too much.

ya mencap i wish the writing was good enough that i could believe that

lol contenderizer, u mad

I don't have the inclination to look at the whole list. Is NASCAR on there? White people fucking love NASCAR. And chewing tobacco.

Haha between this and that Guardian blog thing yesterday I seriously have to stop trying to figure out whether everything I read is a joke or not

(inc Bill's post I meant to say)

Yeah, iwas kidding. Because those two things (both of which I like) are totally at odds with the shit in that dumb list.

No. There is absolutely nothing on this site that does not skew "white" as liberal, urban, educated and (upper) middle class. Check this out - shortest entry in the blog:

#8 Barack Obama

"Because white people are afraid that if they don’t like him that they will be called racist."

Or this, which directly precedes it:

#7: Diversity

"White people love ethnic diversity, but only as it relates to restaurants..."

Or this, on white people's supposed love of lawyers (suggesting that recourse to litigation is a "LOLWTF white people" kinda thing):

Please note that when around white people, that it is social suicide to admit or state that you don’t have a regular lawyer. But perhaps the one main reason why white people love lawyers is the sense that they are giving back to the community. Most white people major in the arts, and law school is pretty much the only option for anyone with a BA that wants a decent paying job.

This site is entirely political. I'm not saying that it's intended to influence political opinion, but it at least displays a very strong point of view. Gotta wonder though:

...has this site been picked up in the white controlled media or something? It seems to be all over the Internet right now.

Half of this site reads like a reinterpretation of Def Comedy Jam without the sex jokes.

White people love to laugh, so it’s no surprise that some of the funniest people in the world are white! But do not believe that white people find all types of humor funny. BET Comicview for example is not considered funny, and white people generally get little to no enjoyment out of the program.

why the fuck did you link to this, Tracer?

Granted, a fair amount of it is otm wrt the group it's describing.

"White people love ethnic diversity, but only as it relates to restaurants..." made me LOL too.

^^^
the only people i ever see laugh at comicview are white

and sometimes asian

def comedy jam is hilarious to all the racist frat kids i know, and seldom to me.

there is the implicit condescension of things like 'comedians of comedy' which irks me sometimes (while i'm laughing).
runteldat?

Stuff like this is what makes it golden to me:

<I>Also, if you see a white person in a Prius you can say “wow, that’s great to see that you’re doing something for the earth.” The white person will feel very good about themselves and offer to drive you home, to Ikea, or drop you off at 80s night.</I>

err, i should specify: the newest incarnation of def comedy jam is not very funny. the old episodes are still totally mint. (remember when we all laughed together at sinbad?)

the parenthetical might've been a bit of a lie

his sitcom was underrated

aka worst Quantum Leap slash ever.

stop that

jeff foxworthy is funnier than this shit.

lol @ "assists", "awareness", amy_goodman.jpg

also Sterling OTM, I missed that lololol

xpost: Jeff Foxworthy being funnier than this doesn't make this unfunny, Tom.

tombot - stirrin shit, friday - do i need an excuse??

you might be white if other people see you driving a Prius and say “wow, that’s great to see that you’re doing something for the earth.” Then you feel good about yourself and offer to drive them home, to Ikea, or drop them off at 80s night.

jeff foxworthy is not funnier than this shit

well did we already do a thread about doug feith publishing a book? 'cause I can go read that

if i look at this as "stuff people on the east side of Madison like" (ie the part of town w/co-ops, co-ed ultimate frisbee leagues, dogs, and bicycles), it becomes hilariously otm.

when did ILX become "i love laughing at boring obvious targets"

But this shit isn't very funny. Just one white man's opinion.

xxpost

when did ILX become "i love laughing at boring obvious targets"

Sometime in 2000?

It's kind of funny, maybe? I dunno, repetitive cheap shots at obvious shit seldom make me LOL, but people are different, so whatever. Still, what strikes me here is the relentless, embittered condescention towards the idea of "helping others". Almost every entry manages to sneak that in, even when there isn't anything obviously altruistic about the LOL-whitey in question. It's weird, is all I'm saying. The site is way more concerned with attacking the idea of altruism (often kinda angrily) than with white culture as a whole.
