This will probably be one of my longest blog posts, so you don't have to read the whole thing, although it would be nice of you. This idea came to me while having a convo with a co-worker who ended one of my sentences with, "white girl problems."
I attempted an at-home self tan and it was disastrous, I was super streaked and looked dirty. White girl problems.
I wanted to change my hair, so I decided to go platinum. Then I went swimming with my newly bleached hair and it turned green. $50 later on hair products and I'm still trying to fix the tone. White girl problems.
Being the only white girl in an online chat with some co-workers I referred to a collegue as being the HNIC (I typed it just like that, I didn't spell anything out). He told me I didn't know him like that. White girl problems.
I went to Six Flags and my boyfriend got a super nice tan, I got sunburned through my T-shirt. White girl problems.
I got a pair of sneakers and thought I was completely "swagged out" then it was brought to my attention you don't keep the stock laces in. White girl problems.
Being called Becky all night at a club with your black friends. White girl problems.
THEN, I stumbled across this blog post, "Stuff White People Like" and decided to add some commentary (and drastically shorten the list).
Picking Their Own Fruit- I can't really speak on this one personally, but I have to say, I don't really see many other races getting into that. In America, anyway.
Camping- I actually loathe camping and made a vow to never do it again. White people have it wrong.
Hating People That Wear Ed Hardy- Well that's because no one should ever wear it. Ever. That's so 2004.
Sea Salt- yep, my boyfriend just had me buy some.
Ugly Sweater Parties- I have never attended one, but I do only see pictures of white people that do that.
Black Music that Black People Don't Listen to Anymore- I think this mostly applies to older, white people. My boss is guilty of this. I.E. she busted out in "Love in the Mouth" the other day proud of herself. Blank stare.
Promising to Learn a New Language- I say I'm going to learn Spanish and Portuguese like, every month. It's true.
America- I mean, who doesn't love America?
Halloween- Halloween is my all-time FAVORITE holiday! I'll be a stereotype for Halloween, yo.
Hummus- Hummus is delicious.
Frisbee Sports- I don't do Frisbees. Bella doesn't either. I guess my black friends rubbed off on me in the outdoor sports department
Self Aware Hip Hop References- I don't really have a response to this one.
Children’s Games as Adults- OK The Game of Life will always be fun and I am reigning Checkers champ. Period.
Being Offended - Well, that's offensive.
Grammar- For the love of God, learn the difference between your and you're! Also, there's no X in "ask"
Scarves- I do have a lot of scarves..only wore one of them. Once.
Dinner Parties- I love to entertain. So there.
St. Patrick’s Day- an excuse to party and drink? White people are there. Even if we aren't Irish (not all white people are)
Bottles of Water - because water is important and why get it for free when you can buy a bottle that can give you cancer?
Threatening to Move to Canada - I have had this discussion with my grandmother. Shocker.
Oscar Parties - I say I'm going to have one every year. I'll admit it. No one really seems interested. I need more white friends
Being the only white person around- Well ya know, for some people this just comes naturally. AKA, I'm fine with being the token at most events
Expensive Sandwiches- I will pay $7 for a sandwich at Panera Bread, with an iced Green Tea, please.
Bicycles- you obviously haven't seen that episode of Family Hustle. TI and Tiny dropped 10k at a bicycle shop.
Toyota Prius- white people WHY must you love the Prius?
Lawyers- I feel like there's something oddly satisfying about threatening to call your attorney. If you actually have one.
Kitchen Gadgets- Does a Crock Pot count? Because I just got one and I have been rockin' dinner.
Dogs- I JUST LOVE DOGS! They are the best pet to have EVER!!
Sushi- Spicy Tuna, please. With a side of Edamame.
Apple Products- iPhone 5, where ARE you?
Vegan/Vegetarianism- sigh.. been there. Proud PETA member.
80s Night-I hate 80's parties and 80's music. But my white friends love all things 80's.
Wine- Sangria, Riesling, Pinor Noir, Pino Grigio, Cab Sav- yep.
Traveling- my most favorite thing to do.
Yoga- I suck at Yoga and personally, I hate it. But my white friends swear by it.
Having Black Friends- I do love having black friends, but not because they're black. And no one can ever call me a racist. bonus.
Tea- Grande Chai, please.
