#9 Making you feel bad about not going outside
January 20, 2008 by clander
As mentioned earlier, white people love to be outside. But not everyone knows that another thing they like to do is make people feel bad for wanting to watch sports on TV or play videogames. While it would be easy to get angry at white people for this, remember it is hard wired in their head that the greatest thing a person can do in their free time is to hike/walk/bike outdoors.
Usually, they will see that you are preparing to enjoy your life and they will say “hey, lets go for a hike in the park,” and most people will say “hey, thanks but I’ve been working all week and I’m really excited about watching this game,” and then they will respond “don’t be a lump on the couch, you’re wasting your life away, etc…” If you ignore them, they will eventually go away.
And much like most things with white people - they win both ways. If you decide to go with them, they feel good about getting someone off the couch and “into the fresh air,” and if you don’t decide to go, they can spend their entire time outdoors saying “boy, this is great, X doesn’t know what he/she is missing!” and running on a mix of self-satisfaction, Odwalla juice and muesli.

Which kind of ‘outside’ are we discussing here: the outside that brings one past crack houses, meth labs (another thing white people love), housing projects, gang members, drive-by shootings, and ladies of uncertain virtue? Not many of us can afford to get to their idea of outside (a Patagonia catalog) because city buses don’t go to campsites or canyons or national parks that are not within the city proper (yes, there IS a national park within a city limit; I think it’s in Philadelphia).

[...] what about that whole thing about making you feel bad about NOT going outside? Why do white people do that. I remember my mom saying “hey kids, stop playing Space Invaders [...]
Seriously–
Why DO white people frown upon obesity so much ??
Someones been watching the simpsons (a go-kart powered by my own sense of self satisfaction, *speeds off*).
I swear, every response on every thing that white people like has some stupid shit like “that’s racist” god damn SHUT UP!
Get it straight: God doesn’t damn - He/She blesses.
Well, it’s not really wrong when you say it like that. But for instance, when someone makes fun of someone by their skin, just for jokes, but still. It’s still mean. Yes, I do agree with you, race and gender are the first things you see in someone.
kate, isnt race the most obvious/first thing you see in someone?what’s wrong with labelling someone by their race when you dont know them?
