Things White People Like.

Religions Their Parents Don’t Belong To

White people will often say that they are “spiritual” but not religious. This usually means that they will believe any religion that doesn’t involve Jesus. The most popular choices include Buddhism, Hinduism, Kabbalah, and, to a lesser extent, Scientology. A few even dip into Islam, but it’s much more rare since you have to make real sacrifices and actually go to Mosque.

For the most part, white people prefer religions that produce artifacts and furniture that fit into their homes or wardrobe. They are also particularly drawn to religions that do not require a lot of commitment or donations.

When a white person tells you, “I’m Buddhist/Hindu/Kabbalahist,” the best thing to do is ask how they arrived at their religious decision. The story will likely involve a trip to Thailand or a college class on religion.
