Re: I'm not a "white" girl. *phew*

    Wow, I'm actually surprised I got zero on this because literally almost everythign in the Stuff White People Like book/blog applies to me. Hahaha. I think this survey applies to younger white girls...like 15-22 year olds or so.

    I can name at least 5 (no Nesties) people that I'm friends with on FB that are guilty of at least 5 offenses. These people are all in their late 20's or early 30's. Hahahaha. 

    The picture of feet thing surprised me though. I've never seen that before. Maybe I am getting old.

    you mean you like asians? Big Smile

    my white-friend has this book, and he always points out this page and says this is why he's friends us!!

    i considered myself 1/2 of 2 of them.  it's not like i do them *all* the time! and i think i've only done the yell at random groups of people once. so i counted myself as half.

    and the one where i talk about my hubby-wubby and how much i love him? yeah. i only do that when he deserves it and i need to share his accomplishment Wink

    but yeah, i know a girl that is literally every single one of these.

    Yea I do like asians. And I got blunt bangs. And I like scarves. And I shop at farmer's markets. And I fixed up an old house. And I got a dog that I treat like my kid. And I like to eat at farm-to-table restaurants. And I like to ride my bike. Haha. All of these things totally and completely describe me.

    What about camping?  Do you like camping?  That's probably my favorite one from the SWPL website.  

  • Funny, I'm probably one of the whitest people you'll meet, but I don't meet that FB-defined set of criteria.  The only thing I've maybe done was brag about H, but like jennlin it was only when he deserved it. 

    (Though my wedding photographer did take a picture of me and all my bridesmaid's feet in a circle, just like the one posted, and I never really understood why.  It's like the jumping photo phenomenon that everyone is into - I never have been a fan of those photos.  Though H got a really good picture with his groomsmen where he bears a startling resemblance to Wolverine.)

  • Wow. It wasn't until I was in two weddings a couple of years ago that I had ever heard of the foot pictures. Everyone thought I was strange.

  • This is hilarious. Is there a guy's version of it?

    EDIT: would it just be all the things in this video (NSFW unless you have headphones on)? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKbftIno0DU

  • It's kind of a funny list, but to be the cranky poster, truthfully, I also find it kind of annoying. Reason being, all but ONE of those I have seen done by people of all different races, country of origin, gender, and sexual orientations. However, it's still totally cool to stereotype and rip on white people, so whatev. :P The "thuggin'" is the only one that I would put in that category. Posting song lyrics as a status? Puh-lease.
