stuff white people like

#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:

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

(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?

-- HI DERE

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.

BET Comicview for example is not considered funny, and white people generally get little to no enjoyment out of the program.

^^^
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?

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

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?

Boris and Carrie’s first dance at their wedding. This is just extraordinarily tragic, from music choice to the dance via the suit. pic.twitter.com/rFHh4B3RfP

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.
