There is no doubt that white people love coffee. Yes, it’s true that asians like iced coffee and people of all races enjoy it. But I promise you that the first person at your school to drink coffee was a white person. You could kind of tell they didn’t enjoy it, but they did it anyways until they liked it – like cigarettes.
White people all need Starbucks, Second Cup or Coffee Bean. They are also fond of saying “you do NOT want to see me before I get my morning coffee.” White guys will also call it anything but coffee: “rocket fuel,” “java,” “joe,” “black gold,” and so forth. It’s pretty garbage all around.
If you want to go for extra points – white people really love FAIR TRADE coffee, because paying the extra $2 means they are making a difference.

coffee is fucking delish, i’ll give you that!
Coffee is wonderful…and I’m a black guy. If I couldn’t be the first to comment, I’ll settle with 2nd repy to 1st comment. LOL.
Hey, the first ever SWPL comment.
You got you’re own TV show yet?
I recently found someone’s iPod (gee, ya think they were white?) that she left at a grocery store (!?) and after spending a day trying to get it back to her, while she flamed me on said 400 dollar device as a thief, she presented me with a $5 Starbucks card.
I don’t drink coffee.
20 bucks would have been nice.
why did you give it back?
I hope you are not in the position of makeing any decisions at the work place or a voice of reason to any young people?
terry couldnt cope well with making the the decision of whether or not to spell “making” correctly
Congratulations on being that douchebag who criticizes others for their typos in blog comments.
congratulations on being the douche who is criticizing the spelling-douche who was criticizing the troll-douche who criticized the person who challenged the original commenter for being honest even when it was hard.
Hey V, congratulations for being a douche.
This is such a funny site. It’s been less than one month since this site’s existence and I congratulate you writers (“whriters?”) for the great material.
Continue to enlighten us non-whites about your whiteness; I believe many whites like to call that “integration”.
“integration”
Hello racist..
“Racist”
Hello bandwagon
“Bandwagon”
Hello Bandwagon hater
The list goes on, but while the point is very mute, I will add that integration as you state, isn’t about whites accepting other ethnicities, it’s about other ethnicities holding a life time of grudge and resentment for something they never experienced.
I’m white, but I don’t give a toss, but if you want to argue the fuck out of history, go for it!
Bravo. I couldn’t have said it better my self.
Moot? dumbass.
Caffeine makes one want to go #2. How is this bad?
Arab kids start drinking coffee after they get off the bottle or the boob…
But we drink out of tiny cups and sometimes (if we are from the Khaleej) drink a clear-colored version of it-so i don’t know if that counts

Anonymous is definitely the whitest respondent on this entry. “To be fair” White people love fairness. “coffee was invented by Africans and was/has been a African/Arab thing.” Especially fairness to other races. People of colour invented coffee, get that, other whites! Not that is was stated otherwise, but anonymous must be glowing with multicultural pride by pointing out the achievements of non-whites.
Not true. To be fair, the thing white people like most is to pointedly correct somebody who uses the pronoun “he” that it could also be “she.” Second best is making a point of this in your own statements, but nothing compares to catching somebody else improperly properly using the generic ‘he’ as a gender neutral pronoun.
Fair? This is a term not familiar to the Human race, you must now by hung by a rope tied to an ever so familiar overhanging branch of a tree.
Omgosh I exploded
This site is blowing up! Your total hits might just double today.
I’m drinking some Vietnamese coffee right now!
To be fair coffee was invented by Africans and was/has been a African/Arab thing. But not in the way white people are into it of course.
once again white people taking ownership to stuff they are not entitled to
this whole site is so anti-white and anti-american. thats racism. racists
It’s not anti-white
It’s anti everything.
When you come to realise this, you may also earn google revenue and fool the masses.
This has to be the whitest thing I’ve ever read.
and I’m talking about the very first comment…
Maybe you should refer to #20…
Wow. See Grammar #99
Hello, our names are Nicole, Rachel, and David. Being all white, we woud liek to add a few to your list.
White People like the idea of quakerism, golf, tennis, country clubs, and Computer Competencies.
Thank you,
Nicole Rachel And David
Firstly…best blog EVER! Whites do love their coffee, but even more specifically Starbucks. They like the status symbol of walking around with the cup and silently letting everybody around them know they can afford Starbucks. Also, they like the Jazz music at most stores. Whites love jazz. It echoes culture and the melodies stir the feeling of ease, calm and happiness in White people. Nothing like a little Miles Davis and a “cup of joe” in the morning for a white person to start their day.
funny but so not true. Your talking about yuppies, not white people. I am white and I love coffee I’ll give you that but starbucks is far too much money for me and when I can afford it I get and Iced chai latte. oh and Jazz sucks ass.
not a big miles fan. and i don’t think i’ve ever called it a “cup of joe”. where r u from? new jersey?
you guys just obviously arn’t white enough to know that it doesn’t matter where it comes from, it was worthless until us white people made it worthwhile. Its like Jesus, He didn’t matter till he was white, thats all Im saying.
In fact, Jesus was not white. He was middle eastern, from Israel. you know?
lol lol lol lol omg lmfao

as-salaamu ‘alaikum. It is good that you mentioned this, I think perhaps coffee is something that all people generally like. What a beautiful thing, something we can all agree on! Coffee…

You know, people that post comments on these things are some know-it-all motherfuckers. you guys really know your shit. props.
retards.
“You know, people that post comments on these things are some know-it-all motherfuckers. you guys really know your shit. props.

Oops, did you and I just contribute Derek?
Wrong. It was the Turks who invented coffee. And theirs is still better than anything you can get here in the US. As a die hard, seventh generation American, it’s hard for me to concede this, but Turkish coffee is superior.
Turkish coffee is good – but it was Yemen who started brewing the stuff and brought the plants to the Arab world. My favorite so far was in Sumatra – but getting beans roasted table side at a cafe in Yemen is nothing like the crap you can get imported here.
ALLERGIC TO FUN!
The “c*nt” comment raises an interesting point:
White people* love asterisks (and footnotes in general).
Also (may already be listed, didn’t check): quoting things and parentheses.
*I’m white.
i crapped myself
I’m white, and if it’s a hot black liquid, is not on fire, and doesn’t smell like it been ran down someones’ butt crack… IT’S COFFEE… and being white… I DRINK IT.
You cant invent something that nature produces,coffee shops sprang up in 18th century in Europe which began the coffee house craze. They did not and still do not exist in Ethiopia where the first coffee trees were found
Lived there – and they have great coffee houses. (Photo from one… http://moourl.com/vki2o). Internet Cafe’s are popular all over the Horn, too.
… and in Ethiopia they say coffee was discovered by goats – not “people of color.”
But was it a white goat or a goat of color that discovered coffee?
i pooped my pants
You are all stupid ignorant white people, coffee and tea (for that matter ) are two of the oldest and most powerful trade commodites in the world, long before WHITE people discoverd them. Ten years ago most of you losers didn’t even know how to order coffee, and thanks to the green machine you all are so sophisticated.
Maybe should all leave your sad little lives and explore the world to see what true experiences lay ahead.
I invented Coffee, and wrote the articles you “googled” or pestered Mr Jeeves for.
you know i can look things up on wikipedia too. i choose not to. i’d rather sit here and drink my red wine.
Actually, a lot of white people are very ‘explored’ and look outside of their own culture heavily from my experience. they travel abroad constantly and love to take part in other cultural experiences, foods, language etc. Just look at which cultures performed studies of other cultures predominantly. I find a lot of non-whites more close minded.
No one argued that white people found coffee and own the rights to drinking coffee. Its a silly representation of what white people like. Not to say others don’t enjoy it as well, lighten up!
Wow! There is a lot of sanctimony in these postings and little humour. This is all farce. So many have taken this site, this phenomenon all to heart and have made it into a soap box to stand on. Trying to show that you have an intellect by this sort of debate only displays how little intellect you have. Hatred is the province of those with a weak mind and even weaker character. Give joy people and if you can’t, let those who can do so! There should be a twelve step group for Aholeism! Now I’ve succumbed to two other traits of being white, the compulsion of pointing out the failings of others and participating in a rant.
Is it OK if I just watch the Discovery Channel?
of course dahrling! we wouldn’t want you to catch any of those nasty non-white diseases traveling to palces where they haven’t eliminated salmonella or e-coli
Excuse, me you need to relax and stop looking for reasons to throw the race card at people. There are appropriate times to do so, but this is not one of those times. Calm down bro.
You mean there are times when you can throw a race card at someone, please, list them me too, I’m white, but hell, I can still do this right?
#.23 White people love to be right.
But then so was the Banjo …
it’s not so much the coffee culture, as the cultural appropriation of the “coffee bar” concept in North America, and the fact that now we encounter f*cked up beverages like super pumpkin flavored double chai latte with soy milk, and furthermore, we buy it TO GO. In my town, the Starbucks is frequented equally by locals of Somali descent, but they drink…brewed, drip coffee. Or the occasional espresso. Like the rest of the world.
actually, the Turks during the Ottoman Empire had coffee shops….they were frequently points where political discussion and grouping of anti-sultan activity…..they were eventually shut down and banned for these very reasons….
Hmmmm somehow this website is not racist. Its ok to make fun of one race as long as its white right? Imagine if someone created stuffasianpeoplelike or stuffblackpeoplelike. It would be down within minutes because we would all consider that racist.
oh goad! didn’t you read? white people like people to make fun of them because it shows they are (their?) superior because they can laugh (that’s larf) at themselves, I mean, theirselves.
I think it’s always OK to make fun of your own peer group.
There are such lists, dumbass! And people like me (a black guy) love them and laugh at them.
I agree. I love them too. I laugh at them knowing some of them true. Many comedians also makes jokes about their races, and I laugh at it because I know it’s true. For example, I remember I was watching a comedy stand-up talking about the difference between white people and black people. It was aying how most white people would be like “I hope no one takes my seat at the theater” while a black person would be like “I wish someone would try to take my seat.” It was just so hilarious to me because I knew it was true, and especially since I said something similar the day before about someone stealing my food. I think we just all need to lighten up and laugh about ourselves.
ahem….

BLACK BROTHER
Many people like to think that there not racists, when in reality they are. Like you big black brother, the fact that you thought about this site and racism at the same time makes you exactly that racist
Not only racist, but liberally biased
Check out “Stuff Educated Black People Like”:
http://stuffebplike.com/
How about http://www.uglychinesecandians.com run by a third or forth chinese-canadian.
Blacks don’t need a “what black people like” Web site, they already have BET channel on TV.
Wow, BET. Yay, we get to get one freaking channel out of the hundreds available!!!!!! *Please note sarcasm*
Kinda like creating a United Caucasian College Fund, eh? Love, peace, and chicken grease…
“Its ok to make fun of one race as long as its white right?”
Right. Good boy!
It will be necessary to make a lot of fun of white people to get to the level of excess other ethnicities and races are unfortunately used to – and, consequently, to be racist against white people –, because white people, after ages of disrespecting everyone on Earth who was different, take great advance. And white people are still living of the profits of that… and hope to live a lot more… and I don’t mean money. I mean social integration; growing up where good schools are and your grandparents were born; being natural of organized countries, with security, health; not having to leave your country to have dead end jobs cleaning white people’s houses etcetera etcetera… all that was built up on richness that once belonged to other people and white people took in some moment of their glorious national histories. Plus – by doing so, white people made it impossible for other people to develop and organize naturally in their own time and territories. This is not yesterday, it still is.
Now, some people thought that at the slightest appearance of some regret by half a dozen white people, the rest of them could live happily ever after and not bother about anything anymore. Do they really believe centuries of exploration could be solved during the (oh, so white) love-and-peace-five-year-fashion in the 60s?
Individually no one is guilty of things done by another person: but communities have responsibilities, countries have responsibilities – is nothing but truthful to expect white people to volunteer and individually take a share of their heavy heritance. Someone must do it and act consistently. It can´t be abstract sorrow for no one to bear. There’s a whole world to change. Not being such a sissy would be a nice simple thing to start with.
How long do you think that white people should pay for the mistakes of the past because hate started back in the biblical times when man was all the same color? Do I ask you to judge a black man for slinging dope on the corner or judge a jewish man for his beliefs? There are so many different types of raceism. To pick one from so many is small and one sided. After you read this you should realise that hate and violence have created man to do such Sad Sad things to each other. We will all be judged in the end and when Iam Ihope that race is not an issue.
I disagree with some of what buzmav wrote.
“because white people, after ages of disrespecting everyone on Earth”
Many white cultures did not take part in slavery or colonialism. This is a terrible stereotype to put onto all white peoples shoulders. My ancestors were never involved in slavery but I am this Caucasian misplaced migrant we call ‘white’.
“Plus – by doing so, white people made it impossible for other people to develop and organize naturally in their own time and territories”
All underdevelopment world wide is at the blame of white people?! that also depends on your definition of ‘developed’
China’s economy is developing faster than any other nation in the world currently, do white people not have as strong a grip on them as under developed countries and 3rd world countries white people are sending aid to? You can place angst on ‘whiteness’, but not on its people in general.
I do knot know about any ethnicity that shine above any other one. In Chinese, Arabic/Muslim, african or Inca’s cultures all nations killed, raped, sold to slavery and commited genocide of their own and other cultures and often they still do.
American Indians killed each other with unbelievable cruelty, committed genocide and took each other’s land . We all descendants of savages.
As for whining about “growing up where good schools are and your grandparents were born; being natural of organized countries, with security, health; not having to leave your country to have dead end jobs cleaning white people’s houses etcetera etcetera” – that’s EXACTLY what everyone experienced arriving to America – Irish, Jews, Chinese, and many others came through all these and own NOTHING to less succesfull citisens.
…all that was built up on richness that once belonged to other people … really???? Do you want to weight what exactly white people took from other people and what did they give them?
…but communities have responsibilities, … is nothing but truthful to expect white people to volunteer and individually take a share of their heavy heritance …
I never heard black community apology for burning and destroying american cities 40 years ago or mass pogroms of Koreans and their buisnesses in California ten years ago.
amen to that.
I think you’re right. In fact, my husband and I were just talking about this at dinner. I don’t think that it’s necessarily bad for us to talk about things like this either. I think we would all be better served if we layed our feelings and thoughts out on the table–honestly, and with an open mind. Racism didn’t go away when black people were allowed to vote and work regular jobs. Many people seem to think that because black people are “allowed” to do the same things (and in the same places) as white people, that everything is okay. But the reality exists that my grandparents got a head start, so to speak becuase they were white. Whereas, a black girl my age (28) may have a family who is years behind, socially, economically, etc., becuase while my granfather was working to build a life for future generations, her (black) grandfather didn’t have that opportunity. We fail to realize those things sometimes.
Racism will eventually become less and less of a problem, as cultures evolve. But to ensure that there is no relapse of the past, we absolutely cannot ignore the fact that it exists. Deep down, whether they choose to admit it or not, everyone knows it does. We should speak openly about it, intentionally crossing racial borders to get inside the minds and hearts of one another so that we gain a respect and understanding of what causes racial lines.
It would do each of us some good to stop taking offense to comments and start trying to understand why those comments are made, what causes them, etc.
While I’m not sure buzmav is right in that making fun of white people to level the playing field, so to speak, is the right approach, the basis for his comment was pretty much dead on.
Yours truly,
The White Girl in her Twenties
The White Girl in her Twenties
Racist hah! lol…
Racism will never fade, not until and black kid can go through 3rd grade without learning about abraham lincoln. We all need to realize that black people will always feel like they are owed something by white people, due to the fact that our great great great great great grandfather owned yours. You hating me for this reason would be like me hating the Red Sox because the ex ex ex ex ex ex ex owner and manager let the babe go,, but wait I DO, so wtf who cares this is like deal with it quit trying to solve it
What are you talking about? Racism won’t stop until kids stop learning American History? The importance of Abraham Lincoln’s presidency, while over-stated by historians, is symbolically as important as any other presidency in American History.
As a white person myself, I love the blog. It isn’t even making fun of me, it is making fun of “typical,” “trendy” white people. This blog makes me laugh because it’s true, and because it makes fun of the type of people I’m not friends with.
It makes fun of the people I *am* friends with, and it’s still funny.
Hahaha, I was just thinking that.
GET OVER IT!!!!! Talk about a sissy…..
This is very true…however by NOT pulling it down it just reflects to me that we might be just a little more ready to laugh at ourselves….. a little more intune to the fact that it’s funny, sometimes true and that it’s ok to laugh.
You should check out the minority response. http://www.stuffethnicpeoplelike.com. It’s hilarious.
That is funny!
first of all you aint my brother. second i have nothing to say for i dont want to over analyze comedy. looksl ike you are turning white. you need to drop out of grad school you self absorbed ahole. (what ever color you are).
There is a website for Stuff Asian People Like (see “JAPAN”) and there’s a link in one of the posts.
And get a sense of humor. This is funny stuff! 99% of my friends complain about their expensive coffee habit and yet do nothing to fix it. That’s great!
This is stereotypical; which means there’s a small grain of truth in it – look up “satire” in the dictionary.
White people get a hold of an idea/trend and won’t let go…they like to think it was all their idea. Just laugh it off.
I’m half white (but basically consider myself “white”) and I wish people would laugh more about their own races’ idiosyncrasies.
And yes, Jews are good with money.
You’re ignoring another classic white person trait: self-depracation to the point of being obnoxious. How many times have we all seen the new white person in a group try to gain acceptance by being falsly humble and thus seem very “real” to the group?
Its never racist to take the piss out of your own ethnic group. Ever watch any Mell Brooks movies? Nobody but a Jew could get away with what he does when joking at the expense of the Jews without being called an anti semite – and I.ve seen video of a famous black comedian making fun of ‘Stupid Niggas’. Cant remember the guys name right now.
So yes… its ALWAYS fine to make fun of your own people.
BTW I’m a Brit.. we’ve always had a love/ hate affair with racist humour.. especially about the dumb micks…
This has always driven me nuts.. you do realize that the Irish are the SAME RACE as you, right? They are as white as you are! So if you need to find a reason to feel superior (you Brits excel at that) I would think you could come up with something more accurate. The fact that someone of British citizenry even has the gall to make a comment like that after centuries of oppression, rape and murder of the Irish people is sickening.
This whole blog is idiotic, and not even remotely funny. Hurrah for broad generalizations and creating more division between groups by highlighting their “otherness”. Hahaha hilarious /
Here’s a clue: Race is a cultural construct, not a biological one. If a Brit thinks the Irish are a different race, they are. Are the Japanese, the Chinese, and the Koreans the “same race”? Try asking a Japanese, Chinese, or Korean person, vs. an America person. You’ll almost certainly get different answers.
Who’s right? They all are. Race is a cultural construct.
Yeep, I could be a different race from my own cousin because we adopt many different ‘cultural actions’ but visually we are perceived the same.
race is a social construct invented by societies that want to keep people in their place. AND WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH COFFEE.
Micks are Scots, not Irish. Find a list of Scottish clans and they’ll all start with ‘Mc’.
No, Josh, ‘Mick’ is (offensive) English slang for Irish.
To us ‘Sasenachs’ (Gaelic slang for Saxons= English) the Scots are ‘Jocks’.
Mick has nothing to do with the Gaelic patronymic Mc or Mac (which you’ll find in Irish and Manx surnames not just Scottish). It comes from the first name Michael, abbreviated to Mick.
Can’t say I agree with your whole post, but that guy’s last line kinda got on my nerves too. I thought the same thing. However, I’m always laughing at my people, hell sometimes about other people so…. can’t fully agree.
Please go find a sense of humor. If people can’t laugh at themselves about their idiosyncrases (?) then the apocalypse is upon us. If you can’t find humor in this blog–go somewhere else. It’s really easy to just click the “X” in the upper right hand corner. Ya’ll have made my day. WP are fun to make fun of–we can be absolutely enthralled with ourselves sometimes.
I couldn’t tell if you were kidding. Those sites already exist:
http://www.asian-central.com/stuffasianpeoplelike/
http://stuffebplike.com/
Any Hispanic ones???? Plz!!!
Then please explain to me how only black comedians get way with making fun of white people? Why can’t a white comedian get way with making fun of black people? “Reverse” racism is not only common, but acceptable. I don’t think it should be, but it is.
You must have missed a little sitcom known as Seinfeld. They spent 9 seasons making fun of white people.
they were white people making fun of white people. and yes they were hysterical.
You didn’t get his post at all, they said all kinds of people poke fun at white people, like the Jewish ensemble on Seinfield.
He said White comedian’s don’t get away with poking fun at non-whites. Please read before you write jeez
That’s just ignorant. Racist?
Are we still laboring under that false ideal that color blindness is color equality, or is it possible to have an honest (even humorous) dialogue about the pronounced caricatures (i.e. stereotypes) of various cultures, religions and even races provided such is done without hate or superiority? If the answer is the former, then I suggest the person above watch the stand-up of a great thinker named Mr. Richard Pryor, and catch up to, say, the 1970s.
am i the only person, besides ALL my black friends, who thinks there’s only ONE race: the human race?????
But, who will win this race? That is the question.
Now that was a white answer.
Indubitably!
Wait! How can I use i.e. in this post effectively??? *cries*
Oh! and if the answer is the former.. what is the latter?
Ummm, what about the coffee thing…?
dat be “ignint”
A black brother? Is there any other kind of brother?
I have brother and he is white.
Feel free to check out http://stuffeducatedblackpeoplelike.wordpress.com/
It’s just as satirical and oh so embarassingly true. And we all know that we can never really call it racist if it’s true
Actually, it should be ok to make fun of black people, too. At some point people forgot that there’s a difference between picking on a person and making fun of people.
Waahhhhh. Racist. Blah. Blah. Blah.
That would be, “bwaaaaaaaa!” Get your terminology right.
anonymous, r u replying to yourself? WTF????
I’m pretty sure a white person writes this blog. Unless it was an Asian or Black person that wrote it, and it bashed white people for enjoying these things, it isn’t racist. This site won’t even flirt with racism unless it starts poking fun at other ethnic groups. You obviously don’t get on the internet much since you think sites can be “taken down” within minutes of their launch just because of their name. The chances are, “stuffblackpeoplelike” already exists in a completely different form. Lighten up, dude (which is something else white people like: calling other men “dude”).
its a white canadian guy and a filipino-cdn
I think we totally need “Stuff Asian People Like” and “Stuff Black People Like” sites. Preferrably done by white people.
Actually I think it helps to be from the cultural group being mocked. It is just more fun to mock your own. This site is funny because it is so accurate and detailed. I’d have examples from my past for about 95% of the assertions made.
My son goes to school with bunch of expat Columbians and Venuzleans and he finds they have funny little quirks, but he can’t really pin down the details on how it all goes together and can’t mock them. He can do rich white teenagers without much trouble. My wife is from Japan so she mocks Japanese-people-things with great amusement.
People in Japan mock Japanese stuff all the time. I mock white-people stuff with a friend of mine.
Its not racist its cultural-stereo typing that is funny. Europeans do this really well with each other.
There already is a Stuff Black People Like…written by Black people though. Sorry.
http://stuffebplike.com/
…I think not.
I think white people would be the only ones to create such sites… we do, after all, enjoy explaining things.
http://www.stuffethnicpeoplelike.com So funny.
don’t you know satire when you see it?
i think i hear satire! but you can see it if you want.
you people are ridiculous these post on this site are so funny especially 61 about bicycles it’s not meant to be racists just funny
so enjoy it don’t act like it hurts you are anyone else reading it
Your grammar hurts my whiteness.
i don’t think the site is racist at all…but the comments start crossing the line when readers really miss the point of the jokes
White people like fighting racism by fighting against websites pointing out idiosyncrasies of particular races. Except against white people.
Guess what a stereotype is…
Yeah, its a bunch of people seeing the same damn thing…
lol
Idiot
To be precise its origin is Ethiopia and plant origin does not mean invention it was dissiminated by the arab and persian empires through europe and later brought to america and it is in latin and north america a comon drink
white people like to ignore African and other non-white history that stares them directly in the face, indirectly insulting the intelligence and ingenuity of those people. Like, admitting that coffee comes from Ethiopia, yet implying that the Ethiopians didn’t use it, or that coffee wasn’t important until some other people brought it to white Europe. “Plant origin does not mean invention.” How ludicrous! The Ethiopians cultivated coffee for thousands of years. That’s how the Arabs and Persians knew about it, through trade and migrations.
white people like to re-write history, leaving the contributions of non-whites out.

The Yemenis would disagree with you over who discovered and disseminated coffee.
^^^ Run On Sentence ^^^

actually, coffee originated in modern day Yemen and was distributed throughout the ottoman empire
actually in Yemen – by a goat herder who noticed his goats getting hyper after eating berries from a tree (coffee berries before they are dried and beans are exposed).
ur a dick
and you suck dick!
your momma.
You must have gone to graduate school!
yeah but white people like it
actually I believe the word coffee , is derived from the work qahwah, an arabic and orginates from Arabia not Ethiopia
I’d like to make this thread just a little whiter. (Note my use of MLA conventions—unfortunately I am not a member, although joining it might move my whiteness-level into the stratosphere.)
The etymology of the word “coffee” is as follows: “Alteration (influenced by Italian caffè, from Turkish) of Ottoman Turkish qahveh, from Arabic qahwa.”*
*“Coffee.” Etymology. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition. 4th ed. 2000.
Arabia? can you point to that on a map, because I have never heard of “Arabia.” I suppose you missed that geography lesson . . .
oh please – the term Arabia refers to the Arabian Peninsula, that thing that sticks out into the Indian Ocean including Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman etc. And yes, I learnt that in geography class
don’t forget your ritalin

DING! Officially, the whitest comment yet.
But, what if some hippy vegetarian who can kickbox said it in a really slow tone of voice that … sounded like patchouli. (yes, it’s that pervasive…it’s the smell you can even hear.)
What makes a comment white, because it doesn’t say bro or use slang. All of you people stating the most obvious things on this page thinking your so much more intelligent then the next guy, need to look in the mirror.
That whole first sentence needs some grammatic attention. Is it a rhetorical question? What is your intention? Peace Out.
It is . . .
1. A precise explanation
2. Steeped in multiculturalism
3. About coffee
THAT’S what
ay yous a BITCH
that’s the spirit!
what makes it white is how uptight, defensive and patronizing the tone is. Quite an accomplishment as all this is achieved whilst appearing sensitive to country of origin issues and proudly displaying mock-familiarity with foreign languages…
thats what Im talkin about. Im an educated nonwhite and you wouldnt believe how often people patronize me for being successful just because I’m not white. As if they were saying “Hey! good job your not a failure like all the rest of those nonwhites.”
Telling somebody nonwhite good job for something that you wouldn’s say to another white person, is insulting. for example “your so well spoken.” is a complete insult to me. What you think I dont speak english, just because im not white. you know what, lots of people that speak slang CHOOSE to speak in that manner its not a lack of ability.
How ‘educated’ are you exactly? Primary school should have taught you about the correct use of punctuation and grammar.
That, my friend, is called “the soft bigotry of low expectations.”
Oh, and since I’m so very white, even if The Wrong Kind, I can’t let this pass without pointing out to you that the word you were looking for is “you’re”, not “your.” No White Person of Any Kind would ever dream of patronizing you with a comment like “Hey, good job your not a failure like all those other nonwhites!” It simply isn’t cricket!
Haha
bull shiite. people axing questions isn’t a choice. they’re retards who don’t know how to speak the english.
Why are you so fascinated with white culture/language? being a non-white. Why are you so surprised that people who are not white are stereotyped less knowledgeable of white language and white culture? You would stereotype a white person to be unable to speak Zulu or Xhosa for example, and they could find it just as insulting when someone says “you’re so well spoken” for that language. It seems you’re thinking only in terms of your own misrepresentations as a non-white-being-white.
It’s ‘you’re’.. not your
Blanca – that’s so white hee! hee!
the correcting thing, and the name thing
haha a new whiteness has been reached
I second that.
if they made cocaine legal maybe WP would forget about coffee.
nah, i’d just drink coffee while snorting cocaine.
Cocaine….thats a very white drug isn’t it?
Yes. It is a bright white color.
Hilarious! It doesn’t have to be made legal, the super rich ones basically get away with it anyway. The penalty isn’t comparable to penalties for other drugs.
actually, crack & cocaine now carry the same penalties in nyc… other cities soon to follow.
White people like to explain things precisely which is why a white person invented wikipedia and, of course, a bunch of very white people, invented the Encylopaedia Britannica.
tom, aren’t you supposed to be over at myspace?
Very true! White people also like to correct you if you explain something in a way they don’t like.
And the rest of y’all are the tards that use it so you don’t actually have to do a research paper for coll “cough” sorry I was going to say college but seriously what was I thinking. Your right we’re bastards that like to keep really good records of stuff.
On a train in Southern India in the 60s, when we stopped at a station, vendors would run along the side of the train shouting, “Coppee! Coppee! Coppee!” You paid them a few coins through the window, and got a small clay cup with delicious hot SWEET coffee. And when it was done, you tossed it out the window. Very “green!”
“Coppee” is actually the malayalam word for coffee.
whats coppee you self indulgant white crustaion?
“Coppee” is coffee in my language (from english obviously). This romancing of the Indian language even from throwing the cup out the train window is really ridiculous. Especially when these whites go all the way to India and see all of the shit, piss, and poverty everywhere and think it’s god’s greatest creation. There’s a lot wrong with India from corruption to opium to AIDs.
they should just come to New Orleans and save all the money and effort of going to a foreign country. We have plenty of drugs, poverty and dirty water.
Does Meena stand for just plain old mean? Some of us get to see shit, piss and poverty in places like Alabama and Mississippi (where we grew up in all white neighborhoods thank you very much).
what the hell is wrong with opium? and who the hell cares what white people like, im white, i like rap, hate coffee, hate everything European, and most of all hate soccer. LEGALIZE POT****
man you need to get you act together man, you saying this on a public web forum is about as smart as rolling a joint in front of a cop…. and rap music has gone down hill and shows no signs of gaining any more “smart-ed-ness” any time soon.
If you want pot legal go get out and preform some clinical trials to prove there is no ill effects of its use, or get a petition going, or better yet VOTE. you can only change the system by participating in it!
bummer.
Obviously, they are not talking about *your* kind of white person
So not from a white person… they would know what opium is! Besides if that was true it just makes you a wigger!
ok, READ. He said what’s WRONG WITH opium. What’s a wigger? Also, why do ya have ta resort to name calling? Just not necessary. SO glad we are NOT all alike.
You’re the wrong kind of white person … read the rest of the blog.
No, he’s the perfect case study…white people like to say how they hate white culture and everyone else has a better one…white people are great at hating themselves.
Another perfect example of how whites enjoy being indignant! They defend themselves from the stereotypes and fail to note that the site is a satire! It’s phenomenal! FYI: I’m white! This site is hilarious! Not to mention true!
OKOKOK, I can’t dribble a basketball, and I don’t have rhythm, and I am not inscrutable, but I don’t feel guilty, even though I have liberal opinions. It is not a tough load. This site is a gas.
I’m good at basketball, I b-boy regularly and have rhythm and hated the idea of something like coffee defining my inheritance into a culture, when other cultures have such passionate arts and music and dance. I found this homogeneous example of what white people are insufficient. I dislike the current conceptions of ‘whiteness’ because white people are a diverse group internally and all creating a page about ‘white people’ liking coffee and dinner parties is going to do is plunge white people deeper into their bland stereotype. I went out of my way to learn many Asian languages / Accents so I would not insult them by grouping them. We are more heavily grouped as white people. because we are most separated in colonial countries and most represented in colonial countries. Development of culture in a multicultural zone will not give any of the one group specificities. Especially the majority whom can’t claim anything grand to their name in case of stamping on minorities or claiming superiority over them.
I don’t know whats good for poor people (I’m pretty broke myself), don’t like coffee, don’t have gay friends don’t care if I have some, I’m just disliking an underdeveloped non-culture representing me, bring something new to the table.
Get a life – ever hear of “tongue in cheek”? This is a fun website and i don’t think ever intended to do anything but poke fun at “white people:. I believe the “whites” that read it. are there for laughs about themselves.

I noticed in the last paragraph of your post that the word “whats” is missing an apostrophe.
Keep this in mind, as stated clearly in post No. 99 (Grammar):
“Do not assume that white people will cast a blind eye to your grammar mistakes in email and official documents. They will judge you and make a general assessment about your intelligence after the first infraction.”
(Comments wont nest below this level)
X-D
that’s so true. I also judge people harshly if they’re too wordy.
Janala, that reply was very white of you. Thanks for the travelogue from a foreign place.
I love you <3
another thing white people like…tripping through India
He has topic on white people taking trips to the third world.
One thing white people like more that tripping through India is being able to say they were in Manali, Poona, Goa, anywhere, way before it was as overdeveloped as it is now and are able to describe the now quaint ways of how it used to be.
I talked to a telemarketer from Goa. Once I got him started on the town he would not shut up about it.
I want to trip in India, have a double coppee mochachino and eat a cow.
and then talk about it at a dinner party
I want to be at that dinner party
Now they hand you the “coppee” in a plastic cup, which everyone STILL throws out the window. Not so great.
Indian Railways is back to using the terracotta cups – “Kulhard”. And, at a price that beats all – Tea for Rs 4 (10 cents) and Coffee at Rs 5 (12.5 cents).

your just the worst type of people, please try and not betray your self induced retardation.
If you can’t be clever or funny, you still don’t have to be rude of other people’s faith.
> If you can’t be clever or funny, you still don’t have to be rude of other people’s faith.
That’s true, strictly speaking, you don’t *have* to be rude, but that doesn’t mean you *can’t*. Most religious people are too stupid to not be rude to.
…he was lynched for spamming shitty religious websites on an internet thread
LMAO
what does that have to do with this topic?????????????
