Stuff White People Like...

#1



Chazwozel

...kinda pisses me off.

Some of the posts are funny, but for the most part the site should be called "Stuff Rich People Like..."

Overall though, it's nothing more than a nice big mishmash of stereotypical garbage.

Say I make an obvious satirical blog site titled "Stuff Black People Like..." Then have blog posts like Watermellons, Soul Foods, Rap music, Block Parties... Suddenly it's not funny and I'm getting death threats for being racist, right?

That said, I do think some of the posts are funny, but some of them are pretty much the equivalent to saying black people like stealing car stereos because that's what black people do.

AVC: Your site's an acquired taste. For white people who don't like it, what's the most common reason?

CL: There's a couple. One of them is, "I'm white, and I don't like anything on this list. So I find this very offensive." I always find that particularly funny, because it's like, "So you're offended that I've made a generalization about your race that doesn't apply to you? I think every other minority on earth has been through this in the last thousand years, so good. I'm glad you feel that way." And then the other thing is people who get offended by the whole idea of stereotypes in any capacity. I got an e-mail from someone in Canada who reported the site to a hate-crimes commission. Actually submitted it and said that they wanted to get the Canadian government involved to shut it down as a hate crime.

AVC: Did anything come of that?

CL: No. One of my commentators left this; it was the best comment they ever said: "There's a big difference between these stereotypes and other stereotypes. The difference is, white people don't get denied jobs for liking yoga. These aren't hateful stereotypes, they're not demeaning stereotypes. There's a big difference in where it's going. There's not a hateful aspect." So I think that sums it up perfectly, about why those people are wrong when they get upset about it.

AVC: A lot of angry people like it, too, though, including white supremacists. The white-supremacist forum Stormfront linked to your site.

CL: The guy posted it, and then people listed their own things that should be on the list. One of them was "living with my own kind." All these awful things were in there. It was just like, "What have I done?"

AVC: Surely you could have seen something like that coming, though.

CL: When I started this, I didn't consider more than five minutes ahead. It surprised me where it was coming from. The funny thing is, I knew about Stormfront before. In the late '90s, I was playing a videogame called Tony La Russa Baseball. Loved it, one of the best baseball games for a computer ever, and it was made by a company called Stormfront Studios. So I typed "Stormfront" into Google—sorry, at the time, AltaVista—and they had the domain first. That's how I first came across it.

One of the things with my site that I thought was great was that it took the idea of racial difference and it approached it from a non-hateful way. So when people do spin-off sites, like Stuff Educated Black People Like or Stuff Asian People Like, it was written by black people, or it was written by Asians, and it wasn't done in a way to be offensive. It was meant to sort of say, "Here are the things we like as a people, and it's kind of stupid."

AVC: Another angry person has copped to liking it: Kanye West linked to your site. Have you heard from him?

CL: No, but I'm trying my best to. I want him to write an entry on himself. I just want him to write the word "sweaters." That's it. Just write, "Sweaters. —Kanye West."

AVC: The site reads as a guide for non-whites on how to deal with white people. Was that always its intention?

CL: Absolutely, in a hilarious way. It's funny when I'll get an e-mail from someone who's black saying, "I wish I had this before I left for college, it would have saved so much time." So there is actually a good mix, because people get the joke, and that it is as much about class as it is about race. People who are in this upper-middle class, they relate to it. And the fact that is, that class is still overwhelmingly dominated by white people. As much as we'd like to think it isn't—"No, it's dominated by this perfect coalition." No, it's white people.

That's where the humor transcends race a little bit. People can relate to this. They say, "You know what? I'm black, but I've been called white my whole life because I like these things." I'm not making a judgment about the things themselves, but about the way people approach the things. That's where the audience is. And then, a lot more old people than I thought. [Laughs.] Which is great, though, I love it. That's fantastic that they get the jokes and they find it funny. I'm thrilled with that.

I don't know if I'd say its racist, its there to make a point. I agree, if I made a website called "stuff black people like" and wrote about fried chicken and watermelon and stealing shit, first of all I'd have to be an asshole AND an idiot, but yeah it would be racist.

Somehow though, in the world of comedy, we're allowed to make fun of ourselves, just not eachother. The guy's making a point about that, I think.

Nonetheless, I've seen the site before, and I still don't actually think its funny. Not cause its offensive, but because its just not written well.

So how is saying all white people love camping, coffee, and religions that their parents don't belong to not akin to saying all black people like fried chicken, playing dominos, and rims?

Wow I can disect his Q&A bullshit right here:

"The difference is, white people don't get denied jobs for liking yoga. These aren't hateful stereotypes, they're not demeaning stereotypes."

It's funny when I'll get an e-mail from someone who's black saying, "I wish I had this before I left for college, it would have saved so much time."

So it's not hateful or demeaning, yet people read it and take it seriously, and then go off and apply it to their real lives. I'd say that's the very definition of hurtful stereotype.

I think the difference is that these are things that aren't already associated with a race to the point of cliches. Fried chicken and watermelon is the standard go-to for bad jokes about black people. The equivalent for whites would be if the blog just consisted of "white people love to make money while keeping minorities out of positions of power"

I find it quite funny. Going to a liberal arts college, where you can't joke about anything related to race or culture, and a lot of the stuff in the blog is assumed (of course we like hummus and camping!), this blog is a breath of fresh air.

EDIT: That said, if I were not where I am now, I'm not sure if I'd find it funny. But here, it's like he's pointing at my classmates and saying, "Yeah, you're not the only person who sees these things."

The microbrew thing is the about the assumption that microbrew = better just because it's exclusive.

There are plenty of good large scale brews, and plenty of skunky microbrews (I'm looking at you, Abita--esp. that Purple Haze crap).

Actually I think microbrews are considered better because of the assumption that not having to mass produce stuff means they don't have to cut costs where ever possible, so they can produce a higher quality product.

And also Seej and Vyta swear by Abita! Are you some kind of Louisiana hipster?

Also Dave, fucking shame on you. Shame on you so fucking hard.

Also, microbrews usually are better beer. I think some people /= to "indie bands". Just because its not well-known or mass-produced, doesn't mean it's always a good thing. Which is true of microbrews as well, but many microbrews actually have passion and nuance in their craft, versus the giant vats of Coors being pumped outside of Denver.

After my first beer, I swore I'd never drink another. My dad can afford very good beer, and he'd always offer me some when I was older. After trying many, I guess I acquired a taste for some. There are still a lot I hate. I can't stand Guinness, for example.

Beer tastes like shit. And not even good shit with corn in it. I'm talking the "I just ate Taco Bell and you better get out of my way" kind of shit.

Yeah. That's what beer tastes like.

I concur. I hate the taste of beer and I REALLY hate people who try and make me drink it. I went on this tour of Europe and right away I told people that I don't care for beer. But they kept trying to make me try different beers. The worst, absolute worst, was in Germany "You have to try this beer michelle it isn't like american beer it has more flavor." and by god it did! ....more flavor of BEER. I nearly threw up on the table. and yet they kept coercing me into trying it, which I would because at that age I was less likely to tell people to fuck off and leave me alone.

After my beer rape tour of Europe I really laid down the law on beer when I got home. The last problem I had with it was this friend of my friends who is into microbrew and it like offends him on some deep emotional level that I don't like beer. I can't fathom why he gives a shit but anyway he said "you just don't like it because you haven't found one you like yet." I said "fair enough if you find me a beer that in no way tastes like any other beer, if you find me a beer that tastes exactly like sprite, or tea, or lemonade or whatever then yes I will like it. " I guess he is out there still looking. If he finds one Ill try it. It would be nice to be able to say there is this one special magical not beer tasting beer i like. Then the beer loving jerks I know will leave me alone.

That's gotta be annoying. Some people just don't like the general taste and texture of beer. I used to hate it when people tried to make me taste different teas. The inherent "tea-ness" of tea... you know that weird feeling on your soft palate... I don't know how else to describe it right now... well anyway it made me feel sick. But people keep force-feeding it to you thinking they'll be the one to convert you.

Frankly, I'm with makare1 and Dave on this. I never really acquired a proper taste for beer, especially the pig-swill that teenagers drink like it's frickin' water to get a quick buzz going on. To me it tastes like it's already been digested twice over. It's the same with most alcohols for me, though... I don't even go for wines, liquors or anything else too much. They always have that same sting that I don't much care for.

I do, however, make an exception for Smithwick's. Mainly because it's a little sweet and not so disgusting as most beers, so I can easily cradle a single pint and empty it during a nice bar night. Plus, it's also fairly rare here (I learned about it in Ireland and grew to like it): to my knowledge only two pubs serve it in Turku, so it's not like I'm gonna go over the top with it.

Also, as a social lubricant, I like a single shot of whiskey on the rocks. Jameson is my staple, but if I can find for instance some Kilbeggan that doesn't cost an arm and a leg, I'll have that.

Otherwise... mead. Sweet, sweet May Day mead with raisins swimmin' in it ;)

2) Get drunk - There are many more efficient ways to go about doing that.

I think the trick to getting to enjoy beer is to have a lot of shit beer and then try the better ones.

the first time a beer tasted good to me was after a long day camping. It was just after loading the truck full of firewood and then immediately unloading it at the camp site. I sat down and my dad handed me a shiner and it tasted amazing.

It's not for everyone though, which is fine.

I'm doing the same thing now with tea and whiskey. I've been plowing through a few cups of tea a day and when I go out I try to have a bit of whiskey mixed with coke to get a bit more used to it.

I'm pretty sure woodchuck cider is not a beer. It's categorized as beer, but I'm not sure why. Beer is made using malted grains and occasionally adjuncts.

Hops are overrated. I once made a trip to the brew shop before going to a party. After much drinking we decided that eating hops would be a good idea. They seriously taste like dog food. Don't worry about why I know what dog food tastes like, but it just does...

I tried American Bud once,and that isnt a Pilsen.It's pisswater.It's watered down urine tryng to pass of as beer,drunk by stupid rednecks that dont know the real taste of beer. Get yourself a nice German Trumer Pils (won best Pils of the world twice).But I applaud all the Microbrewerys springing up in America,trying to bring real beer to the people.It is a step in the right direction.

I watched a documentary called Beer Wars, where microbrews try taking on the big companies. The big companies are winning due to
1. Shelf space
2. The distribution system (you MUST use a distributor to sell your beer)
3. Advertising

Small companies have a hard time succeeding when a company like Budweiser can come in and make it so they have no shelf space in the grocery store.

That woodchuck hard cider is quite refreshing when it's hot, and Pilsner Urquell (I think that's what it was called, it's a Czech Pilsner) isn't bad but costs more than I'm willing to spend on a six pack of beer bottles. Newcastle Brown is good (especially with Fish & Chips, I use it in the batter), I'll dirnk Bass Pale Ale, and I'm eager to try Mackeson's Milk Stout, though the Lancaster Milk Stout I tried recently was not great.

In all honesty if you want the 'freshest' beer off the shelf, then Budweiser is the freshest. They have their distribution down to a science.

I have my local watering hole though: Iron Hill Brewery in West Chester, PA. My beer travels about 5 feet from the brewery to my mug.

For every one microbrew in Belgium we have about 100 (and good ones). And that's hardly an exaggeration. I have no doubt that Belgium cranks out good beer, but on a whole the U.S. craft brew is huge. The probability that the U.S. microbreweries beat out Belgian microbreweries favors the U.S. on sheer number. This isn't the 1950's-1980's. U.S. craftbeers are definitely the best in the world right now.

That I believe Biardo. It's very hard for for craft brewers to get a distributor willing to hold a significant supply of their product as the big companies buy up as much space in the warehouses as they can. If you're ever in the states, you'll have to try some of the smaller brew stuff like Rogue, Founders, and Ommegang. If you're not willing to take a chance, check out BeerAdvocate.com for ratings to see what is generally considered the better American beers and see the reviews of the beers before you buy them.

American craft brews are the best in the world, I will argue that to the grave. Part of the reason is why Americans' are great at everything, we don't give a horse's ass about tradition. Europe has some amazing breweries, and I mean fucking amazing. Germans' treat beer with an almost religious honoring, handing down breweries and their recipes through centuries.

Which is cool for them.

But its not for us. Here, we have no traditions when it comes to beer (at least, none worth remembering), so we have nothing but the inspiration that the rest of the world's breweries give us, which we then use to come up with crazy crazy crazy assed beers. Or even if we do an old style beer, we don't give a damn where it comes from, where their water comes from, or anything like that. Just what it tastes like.

Live Oak in Austin is a good example. It has won a couple of worldwide competitions. I've seen their brewery. It's on old warehouse with a bunch of non-traditional dairy tank fermenters and 1 table with an overflowing ashtray in the corner with a fridge next to it with a bunch of taps. It looks....terrible. But they make insanely good beer.

We are reckless in our pursuit of greatness, and we have only 1 local giant that can look down on us (Sam Adams, which is an amazing brewery that some elitests hate just because its Sam Adams). We stand in the shadow of no giants, and we create our own standards day to day.

By the way, for those of you that don't like beer, it seems like there are a lot of apologists out here for you. Fuck that. Grow a pair (if your a woman you are excused.) Beer is god's gift to humans. It is how we taste the earth that gives us life. Through it we only grow stronger.

All your talk about the 'acquired taste' nonsense only makes me angrier. I was born with a bottle in my hand. Each night at the long table I drink an entire horn of ale while eating a slab of meat, which steels me for the coming battle with the monster Grendel.

Nice.

I'm not racist but..."insert most racist statement ever here"[/QUOTE]

That's what they'd expect, so you should do the opposite and just post whatever.

Apparently to some people interracial relationships are a big deal. One of my lit professors has a Japanese wife and, for some reason, people in his neighborhood disapproved. They weren't friends, family, or anyone close to him - it was just that she was foreign and of a different race. That strikes me as a pitifully outdated concept in this day and age. We're in the 21st century, we can connect with almost anyone on the planet in minutes if we try. It's time to be more cosmopolitan.

My dad likes to tell the story of when he first met my mom's grandmother, Willie Mae. She was a good ol' girl from the south, and on this particular day she was entertaining a few of her friends who were also good ol' southern girls. Willie Mae walks into the kitchen where her friends were sitting and says, "This here's Andy, Toni's new husband. He's a Mescin (how she said the word "Mexican"), but he's one of the GOOD ones." Her friends began to nod their heads as if they totally understood what Willie Mae was talking about.

Yeah, that was my mother's side of the family in a nutshell. I'm surprised that my parents' marriage didn't cause more problems with that side than it did. I guess they just eventually accepted the fact that my mom was happily married to a "Mescin".

Heh, mine's only showing Netflix ads. I've seen that goddamn picture of Avatar so many times I no longer want to see the movie. Besides, I've already got Dances With Wolves on DVD, I can just pretend the Sioux are blue and the Cavalry are in mecha.

Holy shit, is this the biggest case of Deja Vu I've ever experienced or had you already posted that exact story with almost the exact same wording not so long ago? :shocked:

We can have more fun stories of that type.

Years ago when I started dating my first girlfriend, my sister was dating a Puerto Rican boy. After I told my mom that the girl I was dating was Mexican, my mom said, "That's okay. I guess my kids just don't like white people."

This is how different our countries generations are. The older generations look at different races and say "they should be over there" and point to a different neighborhood. Our generation says "she should be in here" and points to their pants. Can't you see how much we have grown? I'm so proud of us.

Yeah, I've probably told that story before, just don't remember when. My great grandma honestly didn't mean to offend, I think. She was raised in the deep south in the early Twentieth Century, so I don't think she really knew any better. This is the lady who, if she saw a black-colored puppy, wouldn't call it a black puppy, She'd call it a "little 'N-Word' dog." You seriously had to watch out where you took her because she might say the wrong thing in the wrong place and get you in trouble.

Yeah, that's exactly what I meant in the Helen Thomas thread with the type of old people racism. My grandmother is sort of the same... she'll say stuff like "oh, she's good looking, very white", insinuating that you can't be good looking and dark. She'll get pissed off if you imply she's being racist, though... I know that by experience.

My grandmother's the same. It's exactly like the mural thread. "I'm not racist, but those..." insert Jews, blacks, Mexicans, etc, something bigoted of some variety that they did, looked like, etc, that she didn't care for.

My grandmother belonged to the gideon society and and after my grandfather died she kept herself busy evangelizing.

One day she was in Vancouver riding a taxi cab driven by a Sikh wearing a turban. She started her pitch thusly:

"You're a Hindu aren't you?"

I don't think she successfully recruited for team Jesus that time.

God allows the team that was the least sexually active in the days preceding the championship to win. It's why coaches tell their players to save it for after the game.
