Vancouver Off-Topic / Current EventsThe off-topic forum for Vancouver, funnies, non-auto centered discussions, WORK SAFE. While the rules are more relaxed here, there are still rules. Please refer to sticky thread in this forum.
This thread has turned in to STUFF WHITE PEOPLE LIKE. Post shit you think white people like...
Stuff like:
Mac Laptop
When you ask white people about Macs they will say, "Oh, it's so much better than Windows," "It's just easier to use," "They are so cutting edge," and so forth. What's amazing is that white people need to meet people who use Windows to justify themselves spending an extra $500 for a pretty-looking machine.
It is also important that white people are reminded of their creativity. Remember, you need a Mac to creatively check your e-mail, creatively check websites, and creatively watch DVDs on planes.
If you see a white person with a Mac, as easy way to approach them is to say, "Is that a Powerbook? What OS do you have?" They will happily start talking to you, and after the requisite five minutes, you can invite them to an 80's night.
Sushi
Regardless of whether they are vegetarian, vegan, or just guilty about eating meat, all white people love sushi. To them, it's everything they want: foreign culture, expensive, healthy, and hated by the "uneducated".
But there are different levels of white person sushi love. At the bottom are the spicy tuna/california roll eaters. These are the people who get their fix at places named Rock and Roll, Magic Sushi Company, or Trader Joe's-type supermarkets. Often the sushi isn't the most authentic, but white people can't get enough!
The next level up is the entry-level sushi snob. These are the people who still love rolls, but are willing to branch out to salmon and tuna sashimi, maybe even eel. Finally, you have the white sushi snob. These people just take it all way too far. Often they will only sit at the sushi bar, will try to order in Japanese, and will only order the omakase. These people will often be critical of anyone who eats a roll of any type or does not properly flip the nigiri into their mouths.
What about vegetarians? Not a problem. For some reason, most white vegetarians will eat sushi. Apparently, fish aren't cute enough to warrant inclusion with pigs, chickens, and cows.
iPhone
This is the phone of choice for white people. If you see a white person with a Blackberry, do not be confused, it is for work.
To put a smile on a white person's face, just ask them a questions that requires checking the internet to confirm. What date did Constantine die? What's the name of the restaurant on Fourth that serves cupcakes?
Almost immediately, a white person will whip out an iPhone, not only to get the answer, but to assert their status as the alpha white person in the group. If there are two white people with iPhones, sit back and enjoy the race (in every sense of the word).
Google
Ask a white person what search engine they use on the internet. If the response is not immediately Google, then you might be talking to the wrong kind of white person.
Within the white world, there is no better internet company than Google. It provides white people with many of the tools they need for success: the ability to search their own name and email.
It is fact that all white people have an e-mail address that either ends in @gmail.com or @mac.com. Many have both. Look at your inbox; it's true!
Many white people also dream about one day being able to work for Google, where they will be given a top-of-the-line laptop, weekly massages, access to new technology, an open office plan, and many other perks that will eventually culminate in some sort of stock package that will make them millionaires.
American Apparel
American Apparel is a clothing company that made a brilliant discovery about white people: they love simple clothes and they like to pay a lot of money for them.
All of their products are made downtown Los Angeles. In fact, it is impossible to forget this. In L.A., at every possible turn is an A&A store.
To save yourself some money without sacrificing popularity, you should buy a number of white t-shirts, cut off the label, and tell everyone it's American Apparel. They won't be able to tell, but they will think you are cool.
Rock Climbing
For much of human history, when a human being saw a mountain in front of them, their reaction was, "Damn, I wish this mountain wasn't here. Why can't someone just blow a hole through this?" One day, after many roads and tunnels had been constructed, a white person thought to himself, "You know what? I'm going to climb this, look around, and climb back down. The view from the top will be worth risking my life." And rock climbing was born.
The appeal of the sport has grown in recent years, as cities and college campuses have opened indoor rock-climbing facilities. Now urban white people can experience all the thrill of climbing up something, looking around, and the climbing back down-which is the only goal of rock climbing - without having to take a long drive. There is no gold at the top of the mountain, no secret lair, not even a snack bar. The only reward is self-satisfaction and the opportunity to say, "Dude, crazy weekend. We did the summit of [insert mountain]. It was intense. Me and a few buddies are planning a trip to Peru to climb."
Camping
For white people who get stressed out, camping is often the perfect cure. The escape from the city allows them to return to a simpler time and to feel a close communion with nature.
However, much like rock climbing, camping takes a very simple activity (sleeping outside) and makes it very complicated and expensive. To truly camp, you will be expected to buy a tent, specialized cooking equipment, a GPS device, a vest, an expensive backpack, and various multi-tools. No one ever said simplicity would be cheap.
Taking a Year Off
Being white can be exhausting. In fact, it can be so tiring that many white people need to take a year off from their lives just to stay sane.
Some white people, burned out from the exhausting six-hour days of high school, will put off college for a year to travel and work abroad. Others find that the combination of Victorian literature, constant pot smoking, and waking up at 11 a.m. is just too much and actually take off a year while they are in college. Finally, other white people will actually start a career and discover that showing up every day is just too difficult. So they quit their job and travel around the world.
some of the more enterprising white people will extend their time off by working abroad as bartenders, ski lift operators, or English teachers. Their stories, e-mails, and publishing plans will be identical to the previous white people but will include additional stories about working and complaints about "tourists".
Rock Band
As you are probably aware by now, the company of white people is not entertaining enough to sustain an entire evening. You need something extra to make it enjoyable, and white people are always finding new ways to avoid exposing how boring they are: wine, board games, and more recently, Rock Band.
Rock Band is a video game that costs a lot money and comes with fake guitar, fake drums, and a real microphone. White people then collectively look at a screen and do what it says in order to score points while singing a song. Not only does this create much-needed diversion from talking, but it lets white people live out their fantasies of being in a band.
In this situation, you should always offer to play bass. It's the easiest and lest showy.
TV on DVD
Though white people have a natural aversion to television, there are some exceptions. For white people to like a TV show, it helps if it critically acclaimed, low-rated, shown on premium cable, and/or available as a DVD box set.
The latter is important so that white people can order it from Netflix and tell their friends, "I'm really into [insert series] and I watched ten episodes in a row this weekend. I'm almost caught up."
If you attempt to talk about an episode they have not seen yet, they will scream and cover their ears. In white culture, giving away information about a film or TV series is considered as rude as spitting on your mother's grave. It is an unforgivable offense.
There's a website dedicated to listing out Stuff White People Like. It's more of a joke than anything so I hope you guys aren't getting all uptight over this.
^i only failed cause that website is so old and so well known by now...if you search up some of these things on it u'll also notice OP took it directly from there. why the hell does this post exist? wtf lol
i was bored, thought they were funny, havent seen them posted anywhere so i posted some. i guess posting just the link would have been better. but holy fuck, everyone so fuken uptight and sensitive lately.
I've been white as long as I can remember and the only thing on that list that is applicable to me is google. I don't like Macs, I've never eaten sushi, I don't own an Iphone nor would I, never been to American apparel let alone bought something there, never been rock climbing, I prefer a hotels to camping, went to college after highschool, don't play rock band and if I'm going to watch TV I'll watch it not buy a boxset.
I'm just thinking of most my friends the only thing that might be applicable to them would be the Iphone (that stereotype is probably true for most of them) and maybe the camping for 1 or 2 of them. Whoever made these up is probably not white. If they were true stereotypes I'd laugh but I just read them and all that comes to mind is, I don't get it. Maybe it's funny if you're a different race?
