Stuff white people like.
Sometimes (most of the time) it strikes too close to home. Though I don't know why that should bother me. I am, after all, white.
Here are some of the things they talk about that prove I am a white person. (That likes things)
For example:
Threatening to move to Canada.
Study abroad
Standing Still at concerts
Bicycles
Kitchen Gadgets
The Sunday New York Times
Plays
Public Radio
Art Degrees
Sushi
Paris
Being the only white person around
Dinner Parties
Having two Last Names
And of course:
Tea
"It is a known fact that white people consume, on average 25 different teas in a given year.
Back in the old days, white people would go all over the world to get teas from places like India and Sri Lanka. They were pretty into it and all of a sudden white people are into tea. But as we moved forward, white people were like “man, one kind of tea is not enough, we need more.”
And now people are into Green Tea, Chamomile, Chai, White Tea, Red Tea, Jasmine Tea, Oolong Tea, Black Tea, Orange Pekoe, and other specialty blends. They are even opening stores and websites devoted to sending white people all sorts of tea.
If you find yourself in a situation with a white person, acceptable things to say include “I’m really into tea right now,” or “my favorite thing is to get a nice cup of tea and curl up in a chair with a good book.” But do not remind them about the role of colonialism in tea, it will make them feel sad."
