Stuff White People Like

Dont forget that White people like Wine Tasting Parties at home. Damn Honkies!

I used to work at a summer vacation spot where I would drive boats for rich white people. One night a group of women wanted to go on a booze cruise, and I was assigned to drive them around. The women came to the boat falling down drunk, carrying boxes of wine and plastic cups. This was the biggest joke of the evening, they all laughed about how they were drinking wine from a box, and how gross it was, but they kept drinking. I was in college at the time and I kept telling them how this party reminded me of the ones at school (which it did not), this is a good way to be the life of the party with rich middle aged white women.

Actually, I thought only white people really drank wine. The further down in South America you go, the whiter it gets and the more wine you find. Although Mexico has a couple of wines, and they do drink sangria, they typically stick with beer and Tequila. Even in Africa, the only real place they grow wine is in South Africa where again, you find only white people. Certainly there is very little wine in the Arab and Persian cultures, even in Shiraz. Although I agree wine is something white people like, I think we pretty much have the monopoly on wine consumption. Which is almost the opposite of a drink such as Guinness for instance where it is served in Africa and Caribbean even though it was made by the whitest of them all.

I thought ros’e was becoming ‘white’.
Please let me know. I’m not sure I’m achieving my full ‘white’ potential.

Classic episode Peep Show ripping into “wine culture”

(it also rips into plays and Australians for good measure, although the second one has nothing to do with white people, just a personal favourite).

I have to admit this is true about most white cultures.

In my observation (humble though it is and certaintly not the authority) This is only because a lot of traditionally “white” countries (France, England, Italy to name only a few) have prominent business in wine production. For Germans and Belgians its about Beer (to my knowledge, mostly). It is because the economy is closely tied to various regions and their alcholic beverage productions.

Likewise, certain foods are invented/go well with whatever wine is being discussed/asked about. There is rhyme to the reason, but yes wine is a cultural center in a lot of white cultures.

The main attraction with the whole “we know about wine” thing is that people want to prove to others that they are cultured. Its obnoxious and sometimes can be silly, but really they are out to prove they are worth something with such things.

In my family the women (in particular because it is assumed that we will be doing the cooking) are schooled in various wines early. We also learn about beers and what dishes are better served with them. I’m not sure if this is just my family, but I have known other families of various “white” (Russian, Romanian, English and Welsh just example) persuasions that tend to use culinary teaching as a way of bonding and learning.

Americans are fond of Beer. Domestic beers (bud light, lonestar, Shiner etc.) are a highlight, but there are a few people who enjoy learning about other countries’ beers. However, I don’t see this as “uncultured” merely that the locals (like any other country/region) take pride in their local product. I live in Texas and I love Shiner beer! I also search for Texas vineyards. Its a lot of fun to see what is grown and produced locally.

Our younger generations see wine as the main way in which they can get drunk fast, but in reality it is made to be savored, and appreciated.

I realize this is a satire…Some people can be pretentious and stuck up about it (wine), but it has nothing to do with them being white. It is simply they want to show off and if you don’t “know” about whatever wine they are talking about they like to lord it over you. These people are snobs, and I can assure you that they come in all sizes, shapes and colors.

This website is funny, but in all seriousness– you can learn a lot about the stuff in here. From a “white” perspective, I am thinking about all the things in my culture that might sound strange to someone from another culture. Its fun to look from the outside in. Its also freakin’ hilarious.

*cheers* May we all laugh at ourselves!

I like ice cubes in my white zin out of a box.

well i guess it would seem alittle out of the relm of O.E. or Mickeys. Wine is more about enjoying a flavor that only a developed palate can appreciate, not about alcohol level and the amount of crunk one can acheive.

anyone hear of AA?

Wine cork collections that they turn into cork boards.
