  • Only, I'm totally not going to they have, like, SNOW, over there which is frozen water on the GROUND, completely unnatural in every conceivable way and they have this thing that they call hockey only it's played on ice so it's like ICE hockey and that's the whole frozen water thing again and I just don't get it. If I want frozen water I've got a perfectly good freezer sitting just over there.
  • Pea coats are only #111?!? I've worn a pea coat since I was knee high to a sailor, and I'm about as white as they come! (Damn albinos, always skewing the curve.)
  • Serge Blanco loves him some rugby.
  • #1 Coffee I am drinking coffee right now. But I am 1/32nd Pottawatomie* so only 0.968% of me is enjoying it. Hell, coffee got me through #81 Graduate School. *Great-great-great grandpa was adopted. By white people. Because white people like #113 Adopting Kids That Aren't White. Also, this morning my wife (who has an #47 Art Degree and likes #57 Juno) put on her #111 Pea Coat so she could stay warm on the way to work. However, we live in Minnesota so we hardly find ourselves #71 Being the only white person around. And I don't find myself #75 Threatening to Move to Canada because, dude, Minnesota: We're practically in Canada already. So we don't really fit the list. Is this #50 Irony? Probably not. But if it was I would like it.
  • Dude -- the Sunday Times in Canada is, like, twelve bucks*, and doesn't show up until Tuesday. *Now likely even more, thank you very much tanking Canadian dollar.
  • You only get white people in america
  • I'm not sure if this is really stuff white people like or just a list of stuff non-white people dislike. Probably the latter.
  • mr. frogs, I think simply living in Minnesota proves you're white, even if you're black.
  • Not on the list: The Blues. White people, such as myself, love the blues, try to hack out the blues on the nearesy guitar/ukelele/piano they can find, and love listening to official, black, delta soul blues especially when performed by Bonnie Raitt.
  • White people are also quite fond of indoor activities, especially ones that can be easily combined with alcohol. There ya have it.
  • mr. frogs, I think simply living in Minnesota proves you're white, even if you're black. I think you just called Prince white
  • After a brief review of the list, I may have to rescind my White Person membership. Which I'm kind of looking forward to.
  • I think you just called Prince white I wouldn't be the first one.
  • Monkeyfilter: can be easily combined with alcohol
  • Most of the items on this list would not be appreciated the subset of white people who like pickup trucks with absurdly large tires, 6000 year-old dinosaurs, Budweiser, guns and Sarah Palin.
  • Exactly. It's not about white people at all.
  • If you're coming to Canada, you have to bring your own beaver.
  • Duly noted.
