Things White People Like. |
Everything posted on this blog wasn't personally written by myself but by my once a day calender. There will only be one post daily and the only rule is, if you're easily offended, you're probably a typical white person. Don't follow if you get offended. [: |

Among the wrong kind of white people, there are few more hated than the “white thug.” Thought it is acceptable and common for white people to dress and act as though they are Japanese, Chinese, or European, it is completely unacceptable for them to act like rappers.
This distaste caused a dilemma for white people who had to show that they loved hip-hop but also that they were aware they were white. The brilliant solution they came up with was to appropriate hip-hop words and mannerisms and filter them through a white appropriateness system.
“Homey, that Bearnaise sauce you made is wack. Do you know what I am saying?
for real.”
“Well, I used a different type of butter. I switched the style up, so let the haters hate and I’ll watch the deliciousness pile up.”
Since the above exchange involved people who are very aware of their whiteness it is hilarious, but if it were to be said by white thugs, it would be tragic. The difference is subtle but essential.
