I figured this was Filibuster worthy as its PC/1st Amendment related.

 

Stuff White People Like

 

Anyone read this blog? I have for a while and find it absolutely hilarious (and somewhat true). As white as white can be, I'm not offended by anything on that site.

 

What does everyone else think? Apparently this person didn't care for it.

I love it. I think it's really well written and is biting without being mean, cruel or derivative.

 

I was going to post it here, but I think a few posters will not find it as amusing and I didn't want to deal with that. . .

 

EDIT TO ADD: I just read the Dinner Parties post and, as I am planning one, I can't stop giggling. Because it is so on the mark.

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 mothers grave. It is an unforgivable offense.

 

:lol: That's awesome. And so true

I'm afraid to say I like this blog because the writer there will make a post that says, "White People Love This Blog Because They Love Making Fun of Themselves. That's Why They Love Black Comedians Who Make Fun of White People."

Hah, exactly!

 

"And fortunately, there is a way to personally gain from this desire to be above being offended and laugh at other people laughing at them...."

 

Honestly, I love the natural medicines one the most I think...this is excerpted from there:

 

http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com/...tural-medicine/

 

Because of a rather shady history, white people do not trust the pharmaceutical industry. Using pretty sound logic, they believe that the drug companies have no motivation to find real cures for things like AIDS since the real profit are in drugs like Viagra and Xanax.

 

Using their powers of deduction, white people have determined that herbal remedies are unilaterally better than anything produced by a drug company.

 

Since white people can’t really blame any race for their problems, they need to blame corporations. In this case, the reason that they are sick or fat or without energy is because the drug companies are in a conspiracy to keep them addicted to placebos. This helps them shed accountability, and it lets them feel like they are helping the environment by rejecting the polluting, greedy, awful drug companies and taking natural, organic medicine from the earth.

 

But perhaps it goes deeper. Hundreds of years ago, another group of people believed firmly in natural medicine and it’s ability to cure disease. Then white people gave them blankets with small pox and they all died. So perhaps turning to natural medicine also helps white people feel better about killing natives.
