Stuff White People Like

OK, this site is hilarious and I must share: http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/

Now I'm not trying to be PC here so I don't care how it sounds. White people crack me up and some of the items on this site are dead-on. I don't necessary think I identify with most of these, but there are a few that make me laugh out loud because either it describes me or I can picture some white asshole I already know that does something on the list. Just browse through it and I'm sure you'll find something too. Here are snippets of some of my favorites.

#64 Recycling
"If you are in a situation where a white person produces an empty bottle, watch their actions. They will first say “where’s the recycling?” If you say “we don’t recycle,” prepare for some awkwardness. They will make a move to throw the bottle away, they will hesitate, and then ultimately throw the bottle away. But after they return look in their eyes. All they can see is the bottle lasting forever in a landfill, trapping small animals. It will eat at them for days, at this point you should say “I’m just kidding, the recycling is under the sink. Can you fish out that bottle?” And they will do it 100% of the time!"


#5 Farmers Markets
"White people also like Farmer’s Markets because it is outdoors (they love being outdoors), they can bring their dogs and children in expensive strollers, and they get to see other white people. "


#99 Grammar
"White people love rules. It explains why so they get upset when people cut in line, why they tip so religiously and why they become lawyers. But without a doubt, the rule system that white people love the most is grammar. It is in their blood not only to use perfect grammar but also to spend significant portions of time pointing out the errors of others."
