stuff white people like

The website that is, not Thom.

my dad held up an obama sign at a street corner in knoxville, tennessee last week. he was there for an hour and a half. on three separate occasions, people rolled down their windows and shouted something about "niggers" at him. two of them gave him the finger.

an hour and a half.

well he was in tennessee after all

OMG this website will be indispensable in my fantasy dissertation about how "white culture" gets defined. Seriously, I have been wanting to write this for 8 years now.

it would be so awesome if in the middle of all that stuff they have on their site they just calmly added a post called "hating niggers"

#59 Natural Medicine

....Since white people can’t really blame any race for their problems, they need to blame corporations.

Yuk yuk

I refuse to actually read the blog entries but seeing the headings "Divorce" and "Recycling" did make me chuckle.

someone plz hack this wordpress POS blog and we can sign in and make it interesting.

#62 Knowing what’s best for poor people <-- lol

White people often have spiritual moments at concerts by the following artists: Common, Brand Nubian, Tribe Called Quest, and Del Tha Funky Homosapien.

HI DERE, THIS IS 1993

Jim DeRogatis, white person extraordinnairre.

eh, their hatred of non-profits (which includes churches, of course) is confusing. It also implies if a person of any other race than white likes any of the above stuff (expensive sandwiches, charity work, bikes), that they're acting """white"""".

This just sounds like an upper middle class white person's rant against upper middle class white bourgeois culture, like a higher level of some kid's "hipsters 4 f4ags" site.

new entry for stuff white people like: making fun of white people on a blog.

#4 Assists <- lol

this blog is like a weird, less obviously evil example of ethan's thing about racial puppetry in right-wing comics--like 80% of the "things white people like" are "liberal" or "hippie" things coded as left-wing in some way, the implicit statement being "if these are things white people like, non-whites must dislike them." therefore non-whites dislike co-ed sports, recycling, "knowing whats best for poor people" (<--- this is the best example of what i mean), etc. not to mention that "white" here is coded (as usual) as "clueless" and "uncool" (im sympathetic to that characterization), so shit like "not shopping at wal-mart" is a totally "clueless" thing to do

i dont remember brand nubian being real big w/teh wites tho

That's a hueg part of the lolz for me!

the guest entry on rap songs white people love is cute, too.

Knowing the words up to "I get stupid, I mean outrageous" is standard and unremarkable. Knowing everything up through the hook means you’ll be frenching at 80s Night.

Kiss me.

most of that rap list could be "songs that pretty much everyone likes"

upper middle class white bourgeois culture

What's fascinating to me, though, is how this becomes read as "white culture," full stop. Although it's slightly different from what's usually considered "white culture" -- that is, suburban middle-class soccer moms and patio dads, as exemplified in the following:

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/7155KDERFZL._AA280_.gif

actually really im not loling at this because like, http://www.oldpunks.com/1fishbarrel.jpg

I think it's got potential -- I loled myself when I saw "Divorce" -- but someone otm that it's pretty poorly written. Which is why we much hack this blog and make it better.

I'd like to reiterate my stance of "fuck reading most of this, I'm chuckling at the headers and namechecking Brand Nubian".

I'm waiting for the "double-no-whip-foam-skinny-etc-etc" yuks.

I lol-ed at the co-ed sports title.

im listening to brand nubian now

i like it (i am white people)

i just dont really like "racial humor" that conservative douchebags could look at and be like "lol at those white people, clearly im down since i hate co-ed sports"

hey there's a bit about apple lol

Brand Nubian sampled Edie Brickell, right?

good work overlooking this is all completely US-centric jaymc!!!

yah on slow down - rules so hard xp

Edie Brickell, man, that is some white shit right there.

<-- listening to Bob Marley, lol white guy

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 :)

max totally fucking otm, exactly what i thought reading this ... i swear this was concocted by a conservative think tank to make fun of hybrid cars or some shit

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

everybody in all those photos are white
i mean i dunno about who's wearing the boots but it seems like a safe bet

fwiw, one of the first nine is an Asian dude and another is a Romanian woman so it seems to extend further than straight-up American WASP style.

i give up: it's a rainbow panoply of inclusion

There is an argument to be made that there's a soft 'blood and soil' fascism to the whole thing but you can say that about a lot of minimalist, back-to-nature, quasi-rustic stuff.

Neo-rustic-ana vs Health Goth

Slow fascism

LOL that 'Mercuns consider tea as a fancy drink for poseurs and Frenchmen.

stacey abrams seems cool but it seems like there's a weird white people thing with, like, buying her prayer candle?

i mean there are much worse things that white people like, i guess

yeah, there's a term that starts with "magical" that I don't even feel comfortable saying anymore...

yeah man it's a little unhinged. also, like, compensating, but not in a good way.

How long are you supposed to soak a cast iron pot before putting it in the dishwasher?

holy fuck!

the guy filming it is a peach as well

someone on twitter said "drunk uncle dancing inappropriately with his 15-year-old niece"

ultimately this is the "oh he's so hilarious" cult of Boris stuff that large swathes of the UK actually like. It's also why he could have easily beaten Kieth in the next election.
