#7 Diversity
January 19, 2008 by clander
White people love ethnic diversity, but only as it relates to restaurants.
Many white people from cities like Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York will spend hours talking about how great it is that they can get Sushi and Tacos on the same street. But then they send their kids to private school with other rich white kids, and live in neighborhoods like Santa Monica or Pacific Palisades.
But it’s important to note that white people to do not like to be called out on this fact. If you run an ethnic restaurant you can be guaranteed repeat business and huge tips if you act like your white customers are adventurous and cultured for eating food that it isn’t sandwiches or pasta.

Thank you, but he failed to mention what Native Americans like: drinking listerine, intertribal pow-wows and kids ride free in the backs of trucks. Keep on the jokes, stereotypes and satire on what white people like…and how they live. +
Tonya: don’t you understand sarcasm when you read it? I think the poster’s point was that it’s not acceptable these days to write anything offensive about minorities, yet it’s perfectly okay to write something offensive about white people (like on this site, for example). Down with double standards.
Please..better than most other countries that don’t accept foreigners PERIOD.
Dundas, east of Spadina, fuck yeah!
Anyway, hilarious stuff. Keep up the good work.
I heart the TTC
I really like how the article smugs on about american cities when the pic is of Toronto.
How correct you are. As I have many times said, the only value of diversity I see is the different cuisines. I have been on a few trips to foreign lands with my white brothers and sisters and it seems the more liberal they are (you can tell by looking at them), the more they want you to see and appreciate their adopted children of color. The more conservative the couple, the more they treat them like their biological children.
why are caucasians expected to solve the world’s problems for them i have the greatest idea ever go beg the asians for help since their so smart
this website is racist. if we picked out one group of people in society, like this website is doing with the left wing upper middle class, say like black people in townships in south africa or soemthing, and make big generalistaions about their culture then everyone would call it racist. its all a load of shit, all cultures have their bad and good points. maybe some have more, but the problems are more deep-rooted and complex then you think, and you cant just criticise and hate it and say everything theyre doing is wrong.
As a white guy (very white), this website is only pointing out the hypocrisy of the liberal “do-gooder” set.
Once lower or middle class whites gain a bit of money and feel comfortable, whether it’s from mommy or daddy or not, many want to act like they’re liberal Harvard elites.
And most have their head up their A**.
About as White as it gets and Mike are partially right, but “a white guy” has a good point, too. It’s liberal whites who push multiculturalism the most, but well-off whites would prefer to live amongst mostly other white people and send their kids to mostly white schools, the posher the better. And as mean as this sounds, adopting ethnic babies is almost an acceptable new form of slavery, they pay a lot to get a non-white kid to raise in a proper middle-class white way so the kid can support the parent(s) when they get old. Not only that, but they prefer foreign babies. There’s gobs of non-white orphans in the USA, but adopting one of those might mean potentially dealing with minority relatives showing up someday! EEK!
Where, exactly, are we getting the stats on why people adopt out of their ethnicity and out of their country? Seriously, without some actual facts to back up these claims, they may be funny and compelling, but … drawing a general conclusion without actually looking at the numbers and reasoning is stereotyping.
very true. Read green span’ book – future of turbulence.
one can see plain numbers and simple facts behind what politicians project as against what businesses and companies see/foresee/go through. and of course the common man /woman as just a lain observer and sufferer most of the times.
i aggree with you 100%, this from the perspective of an african american from the hood!
Most blacks I know from the projects don’t refer to themselves as African American and don’t post on internet blogs. Hell, most who live in the hood don’t have internet.
see thats the problem with you people always assuming , didnt 9/11 teach you people anything? those who die that day they were not thinking about skin color the were not thinking about hey am white i should be save or i am black ishould be or yellow those pople were thinking about love see the truth is you are afraid of the truth. the rule are changing day to day so i can tell you whites better catch up as i see it soon there will not be black,white or yellow only brown people just think about it you educated fouls from uneducated school, nothing last for ever.
I believe that 9/11 happened, A**hole, because of MULTICULTURALISM. All those scumbags were foreigners, ILLEGAL foreigners at that, and if Ted “piece of shit” Kennedy hadn’t sold out Europeans with the 1967 Immigration Act, the dark skinned excrement form the Third World wouldn’t have INVADED US and polluted our shores.
And I’m a native New Yorker, born and raised. And seen the decay of my city. And for those White morons in the rest of the country, especially those voting for Obama, it’s coming soon to a theater near YOU!
Maybe we shouldn’t elected John F. Kennedy and the liberal elites at the first place. xD New Yorkers aren’t the only ones felt screwed by the left-wing, ask any white Southerner and Californian suburbanite. The Midwest and Mountain West is sending more votes to a half-black liberal ivy league grad. by the name of Barak Obama, he carried the North, South, east and West…and the two states of Alaska & Hawaii (his home boys). LoL, the white man lost and deal with it. +
thats ridiculous !!! no internet in the “hood”
lolololololol
I have irish friends they would back me up !!!
its all economics – as i postulate. not the race.
we the intellecutals of the country discuss a lot on internet and i put the same arguement that people who elect the leader dont have access to internet and the prospective leaders know this well. so there is some statistical truth in what the post says. meaning there will always be some exceptions but that does not mean the the general nature of fact that the post tries to mention of, is wrong.
i am talking about my country – India. where i went with pride that i can change things. ha! But kind of surprised to see such or similar issues exist even in america. thats why politicians survive. Else it would be all scientists – if every question was attacked and solved logically
This is actually not true. Go ask your black friend who lives in the hood.
In fact–email them.
to comment from a proud american national and irish decendant. that’s bullshit. i’m black and i read and post on blogs and i have internet (obviously)
Really, Tonya? Who pays for the internet? The Man? Have you ever accepted food stamps or been on the dole? Just curious.
Last I checked, Santa Monica was a warzone. You likely picked it because it sounds “white” to you.
You lose, I fill diapers.
As of the census of 2000, there are 84,084 people, 44,497 households, and 16,775 families in the city. The racial makeup of the city is 78.29% White, 7.25% Asian, 3.78% African American, 0.47% Native American, 0.10% Pacific Islander, 5.97% from other races,13.44% of the population are Hispanic or Latino.
warzone? whitezone maybe…
In the 1990′s, from the movie “American history X”, a wave of black gangs moved in Venice, Westchester and Culver City adjacent to Santa Monica. The movie characters are teenage white supremacists in a drama on their draw to neo-Nazis after the L.A. Riots of 1992. Things have changed alot since then, though the rise of gang violence from the crack drug pandemic in the 1980s followed by huge economic downturns affecting urban blacks and Hispanics. Santa Monica and nearby areas may be like 100% white by the year 2010, and proudly asserts itself as “diverse”. +
White people’s love of diversity is directly proportional to their distance from a place where Whites are a minority or near-minority.
You nailed it that time, Mike.
As a carefree, suburb-dwelling preteen, I blindly accepted those lessons imparted to all middle-class white kids across the nation, pertaining to tolerance, diversity, etc.
Years later, when I had the “brief” opportunity to “matriculate” into a squalid, urban educational dumping-ground (the demographics broke down roughly to 75% black, 20% hispanic, 5% white) I realized the sort of purgatorial conditions white folks must face when dealing with “ethnic” types.
If we could “whitewash” the entirety of this drab, unfruitful planet, the human race could very well be saved from imminent extinction (that is, with a little bit of elbow-grease and controlled breeding).
lol!..Silas and Mike, you guys are the best! You see through sh*t. Literally.
Amen
Nah, white people definitely like ethnic restaurants but prefer living amongst other white people. Asians are acceptable if they aren’t total FOBs, too smelly or ghetto Asians (Cambodians, Vietnamese etc).
I think you may have missed it on this one. Just look at all the white people who love adopting the most exotic babies they can find. White people love the feeling of walking in public pushing a stroller filled with a little brown, black, or yellow child showing the world how “tolerant” and “enlightened” they are. Its almost like showing off a new mink for these people.
In fact, white people are the only people on earth who form or join organizations 100% dedicated to the welfare of other races. This must be very strange to the rest of the world as white people literally verbally abuse other white people for even considering the idea of having some sort of border or immigration policies.
NO, on this one you’ve clearly missed it. White people are obsessed with “diversity” whether it benefits them or not. If you want to get a white person ready to literally fight you, just try telling them you’re “not sure about the benefits of diversity.” If you say this, the white person will react similar to a Muslim seeing the Quran flushed down the toilet.
White people are so weird they actually hang signs that say “Diversity is strength” on the walls of public buildings. White people are so extreme when it comes to diversity that they’re actually willing to “bus” their own children to dangerous inner city ghetto schools to help promote “equality.”
I think you need to rethink this one.
I must say, the above statement pushes the point of this website over the edge. “Stuff White People Like” should be about dealing with racial issues with humour- being angry or sarcastic and using terms like “these people” just further alienates “these people” for you.
White people want to adopt children from other cultures not to show diversity, but to have those children raised white. They are not going to go live in Cambodia, they are bringing Cambodia to live with them. They don’t bus their kids to the inner city, they have inner city kids bussed to the ‘burbs.
Still, the Diversity #7 post is funny, I get it. “I’m cultured, I eat sushi.”
“I’m educated, I ignore the black people sitting behind me in a restaurant, and I just say nothing.” Sheesh, how low can he get? The photo of him being smug in an all-Chinese or Asian restaurant? I feel like that everyday in all-Hispanic parts of the Palm Springs area. Rich white people found it a way to look hip, trendy and sophisicated in the 1980s/90s to not live near blacks, but to have blacks sit beside them! +
they go as far as establish colony in different part of the world and calling it the ” white mens’ burden “~
Is the Big Black Suburban a white thing?
Upon viewing on TV the running of the Black Suburbs through the Texas town and the round up of all those white people, I pondered what would be next. I heard there was going to be a re-education camp for the woman and children. My people had one of those special trainings and relocations provided by the US government over a hundred years ago. The regulators used horseback in those days.
Is this just a white person thing or do I need to warn my sisters in the urban government reservations. Most those kids don’t know who their father be and the government is sending condoms home as a welcome back to school gift in the middle schools. Maybe Reverend Wright is right. Here comes the Suburbans!
Well, since I’m Indian and don’t have Jesus, and someone stole my gun, there is always Fire Water to relieve my bitterness.

ssshhh, don’t make jokes about internment camps. We’re not like the god-awful, evil, racist Nazis did to the poor poor POOR Jews over in Auschwitz in WWII. We are America, we don’t do that, it’s wrong, very very very very very wrong.
(Done in the parody/satirical style of the Onion newspaper). +
I think when White people are being diverse, there’s kind of a perverse objectivism to it, as in even when they’re losing time/money to promote diversity and acceptance, they are also reasserting a form of superiority. Like “Hey welcome to my country. Here take some money, go build a immigrant community centre to learn English, but don’t forget who gave you the money, and how good we are to you compared to the shithole of a country you came from.”
So sure they love diversity insofar as it serves to strengthened their image.
Of course they won’t forget where the hand-out came from. When it runs out, they will return for another hand-out. This is all part of the plan. Welfare and “Economic Justice” are two of the greatest schemes for initiating and perpetuating an oppressed people. That is why I am in favor of all welfare schemes.
Come to me for food.
Come to me for shelter.
Come to me for validation.
Do not risk trying to survive on your own. What if you fail?
Do not listen to propaganda that promotes “Self-Reliance”. Or buy into the notion that power comes from yourself and you can control your own destiny or the destiny of your community. This is all propaganda promoted by selfish, mean-spirited, uncompassionate, right-wing, Bush-loving, war-mongering, apathetic sons of jackals. They know you can’t survive on your own; that you are inherently dependent. They want you to die! That is why they are apposed to economic justice through the redistribution of wealth.
I am also in favor of Affirmative Action, Hate Crime Legislation, Ebonics taught in schools, Special Holidays…. etc.
All of these things have two things in common. One, is there is a rationing system. Two, is they divide and faction groups. Because, I end up in the group that controls the dividing line and the rationing I am in favor of all those things.
psychomancer, you’re also in favor of porous borders, day laborers in bus stops, Spanish language TV stations and other signs of a third world presence in America? I know you’re criticizing liberal reforms to advocated more welfare dependency. Some conservative talk radio hothead said if this was thought of by a slave master or the grand wizard of the KKK, welfare policies will end in a deserving fate. :-/
hey i don’t think one needs to be so sarcastic on this front.
ofcourse there is an element of truth in it – as people always joke about why america always wants to be first or on top. And that attitude sure is a problem. But its not just america problem. China, do u think they are less in it? see how they treat Tibet. Even countryman like Pakistan i have seen treating India as cheap labor (the country I come from and i used to pride in until i saw what i saw when i went back ). So in short such a trend is universal. The greatness of white could be that you and me can even write such a post without a fear. visit other countries and you will realize the value of it. And there sure are gentlman in this world and they are white and black brown or yellow. they have no color. they are just good people. Just the economic status of US can make them more visible – and I don’t see any wrong in it. Help bring good people from your country up from your side. And I have seen my own countryman adopting babies from my country too.
I was completely astonished when I read somewhere that the whole push for NASA to send man on moon was to win the cold war with USSR.
and there are people dying of hunger.
and i heard Mother Teressa too was not all that happy with the situation.
No offense, Atul, but maybe those people in yours and other Third World countries need to learn contraception instead of expecting a hand out.
FUCK YOU!
I love your comments. Great sarcastic, very subtle. The adoption thing. Right after they adopt an Asian baby (or other ethnic babies) they sudddenly become experts on Asian cultures. And if you look up what they say you can usually find the topics and quotes on travel brochures or magazines. And they will dine at asian restaurant ordering kung pao chicken or general tzao chicken – real asian dishes.
and they will diplay their asian babies at malls, asian (boat) festivals….and will decorate parts of their home with Chinese characters/theme items.
i love it when the world comes together.
to About as White as it gets
I don’t know what fantasy land YOU are living in, but it sure ain’t happening here.
I pooped my pants
Okay, I’m taking this to 4chan…which also should be added to the list of things white people like:

This is right on the mark. White libs are obsessed with diversity, but only as it applies to race. They want to celebrate our differences as long as we don’t point out that we’re different. Whatever happened to “E Pluribus Unum”. For you ignorant leftys that means “from many, one”, not “from many, many”. Look it up retards, it’s printed on our money.
I think the Founding Fathers meant the 13 states when they said “E Pluribus Unum”. The Founding Fathers didn’t believe in our liberal elites suicidal definition of ‘diversity’. Far from it. That’s why they were brilliant.
I like the coins with Caesars head on it.
Yeah… but how many white libs do we have v. how many white extreme right… republicans? McCain anyone!?
Leave the tards out of this please. Why does every discussion end up an attack upon the simple tard? Can someone explain this, please? What does the happy go lucky tard, playing with a rock, eating some paste, laughing at joke known only to himself, have to do with this bizarro discussion on diversity or whatever? Really, just because you have some beef with someone you think is not getting your point, you have to call that person a retard? Hey, smart guy, guess what? Retards don’t give a crap about your Latin phraseology. OK?
So, on behalf of all the tards I know (and I know some better than others, if you know what I mean, you know, when nap time rolls around and they’re sleepy and don’t keep up their guard, heh), keep your conversations about all this nonsense focussed on the nonsense itself. LEAVE THE TARDS OUT OF IT!
Jerks.
Fine, it would be so much better for these white libs just not to give a shit at all and become even worse haters. At least some people are trying. Don’t begrudge the people who at least make some step in the right direction when there are others who are mean, nasty racist jerks.
You are most right. We most assuredly find the benevolence of the White People to be to our benefit. So please, don’t piss them off. Usually, when we have too many children wandering around the village we are forced to perform the baby chuck. This is where we wait until midnight and grab about 20 to 30 babies and chuck them into the forest and then return home. The babies who make it back are allowed to stay; the rest cry and cry until they cry no more.
When the White People come and God has Blessed Us All, They take our babies and give us Walmart Gift Certificates, and so the babies don’t have to be chucked–and we can keep on rubbing on each other.
So, let the White People come. If you’re baby was about to be chucked into the forest, never to return, wouldn’t you let the White People take him?
Now, let me tell about the Grand Prime Minister of the Interior, ALHAJI ALIYU AKWE DOMA, and his special bank account, which he entrusted to me to find a special person abroad to safe guard the money for a substantial reward. . .
Believe me, I have no desire to come to your ‘village’.
So f*ck off, and YOU keep your distance. Which isn’t happening these days, because you’re right in our FACES.
Everywhere. Like cockroaches.
Spoken like a tru Ibo chick. Do you come back to nigeria regularly or are you one of those Nigerian immigrants who are all over Houston?
I had to read this twice, I can’t stop laughing.
oh…..racism is alive and well
And what the hell is wrong with that?
Most people are racists and that includes the protected non white folks.
No it’s not – it just means that some don’t proselytise the embracing of diversity like others do. In fact, that, plus the willingness the screech “racism” at every possible opportunity is generally the domain of the carping, sanctimonious, holier-than-thou left!

Racism isn’t alive and well?
Have you been to any inner city recently?
Im with Tamara on this one…
If white people were so diverse… why do we have problems with brown hairy people at the airports?!
Why do we have a wall in the process of being built down south?!
Why is the KKK still made up of WHITE people!?
The only white couple I see showing off diversity kids is Brangelina!
“Why is the KKK still made up of WHITE people!?”
LOL Liberals are such twinkle-toed idiots.
So are people who make generalizations about whole groups of people.
Recently, I proposed that we diversify our local Klavern, and I am pleased to announce that my klansmen were progressive and enlightened enough to see the benefits of racial diversity. Unfortunately, for some reason, our recruitment drive failed. We even offered offered to promote our new ethnic recruits to positions of office and leadership. And yet…. no takers.
I tried that too at my local Klavern up in New York! Yikes! What’s with white people? Can’t they see the benefits of ‘diversity’?? Heck, they too, can get their 15 minutes of fame in the media! By being either a rape or theft victim!
How would the KKK be made up of anything OTHER THAN white people?
I passed and I’m part Irish.
Maybe this is because not every person (white or not) is the same person? You can’t lump every person in a race together as the same, that basically is the foundation of racism.
:/ sort of… I’m a white person. I don’t understand how racism and privilege works, but as far as I can understand racism is something that’s maybe more subtle and complex than what you are talking about. As I understand it, it’s not possible to be racist to white people because white people are at the top of the power pyramid. This helped me understand it better: http://theangryblackwoman.wordpress.com/2007/07/27/how-prejudice-and-bias-works/
I feel like a TOTAL white person writing this. Sorry. Hopefully someone will call me out on my shit!
Of course it’s possible to be racist toward white people! Haven’t you seen the Reverend Jeremiah Wright???? If he’s not a racist, I don’t who is.
Sorry, I meant “I don’t KNOW who is”.
Rev. Jeremiah Wright isn’t really racist, what he said was true! He brought up historical facts on things white people have done and it’s true whether we want to admit it or not.
Oh, f*ck off! Or give me your money, and I can retreat into the white enclave you most likely live.
I totally agree and by the same token, David Duke was not racist. He merely pointed out things that were true.
Racism will never stop with attitudes like Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Why is someone punished for what people have done in the past. Dwell in the past and forever it will last. The past should be a learning lesson.
I LOVE how everyone tries to dish off the Past since our society is obsessively fixated in the “Now” and the “Future” i.e. an acute sense of Ageism when it comes to our Nation’s History. Those that AREN’T dwelling on the Past are obviously those who benefited (and are still benefitting) from it. Their level of comfort is established and they don’t wish to progress above their happiness to secure the same for others….but that’s another topic
Now the hypothetical syllogism and the principle of causality would state that:
Rational dictates our PAST has created our PRESENT. (Deductive/Premise 1)
Our PRESENT will influence our FUTURE (Inductive/Premise 2)
Ergo, the Logical Argument would be our PAST is our FUTURE (Cogent & Sound Conclusion)
This means the trite and weary notion of Accounting (not dwelling) for our Past is in the best interest of our Future. Taking Responsibilty (not simply recognizing, reaffirming, or pinpointing the obvious) of our previous actions and reconciling for them is a whole different spectrum than Dwelling; which is what we’re doing Now
Mentioning the past is not dwelling on it. Attempting to draw a lesson from it as to how to live our lives today is not dwelling on it.
Diversity IS strength, whether or not those who preach it really believe it.
Actually, there was an excellent Harvard study finished
last fall that seriously calls into question the notion that
diversity “IS” always strength. Robert Putnam’s research
at least cannot be simply shrugged off by anyone who
seriously desires to be intellectually honest.
http://www.boston.com/news/globe/ideas/articles/2007/08/05/the_downside_of_diversity/
On a side note, there seems to be a serious problem with
confusing the definition of “racism” with “bigot.”
Racism is believing your race is superior. Hating another
race is bigotry. Though most racists are bigots, it is
completely possible to be one or the other.
