White people hate a lot of stuff (white people who vote republican, television, Vin Diesel movies, SUVs, fast food) but every once in a while they turn that hate into sweet irony.
Often times, white people will make a joke about how hard it is to define irony. It’s not that funny, and back in the 1990s people got all upset at Alanis Morrisette for using the term improperly in her song “Isn’t it Ironic?”
But the reason that white people love irony is that it lets them have some fun and feel better about themselves.
The most horrific recent example is Trucker hats, that shockingly went from mainstream in the 80s to Ironic in the early 2000s back to mainstream, at which point they are no longer rare or unique. Once something reaches this stage, irony cannot be restored for 10 years.
Other examples would include white people getting together to have a ‘white trash’ night where they would eat Kentucky Fried Chicken, drink Bud Light and watch Larry the Cable Guy or The Marine. Maybe listen to Kid Rock or P.O.D. These events allow white people to experience things they are supposed to hate, all while feeling better about their own lives, decisions, and cultured tastes.
Occassionally, white people will put an ironic knick knack in their home or apartment such as a “Support our Troops” magnet or a bottle of Mickey’s. 
This can be used to your advantage. If you need to appear cool to white people, you just need to pick something that was popular 10+ years ago and put it in a prominent place at your desk or in your home. A C+C Music Factory Cassette, or a “2 Legit 2 Quit” t-shirt would both be acceptable examples.
Also, you might find yourself in conversation where you mention that you like something and there is an awkward silence indicating that it is not cool. In this situation, uou must say “oh yeah, I also like [insert similar things]” and smile, the white people will laugh and all will be well.

I’m white and I like how this blog turns around and makes fun of rich white people for making fun of poor white people. Yay!.
YES! I also like how quickly alot of the responders
(respondents? grammar police!?) show how they personify the stereotype that is the topic of the parody.
But then, I grew up wearing non-ironic Chuck Taylor’s

1. If you dont wana be called racist, dont BE racist.
2. DA, you made two things about sombreros.
3. You dont have enough guts to put your real name up
4. You are racist, clearly.
No, you are neither funny nor clever.
You may not be a racist, but from your post it appears that your thought process is somewhat simplistic and reactionary.
Which is something you may have in common with racists.
Very mature for a white guy.
fuck you u stupid bitch shoulld yu go fuck your mother you are white so do dat you stick walkin up your ass whore
Perfect grammar on all acounts
hahahaha you talk like a barbarian whose race has been appropriated by white people.
Silly negro.
What does that mean?
Are you mad at me for chastising you yesterday at the grocery store for packing my groceries incorrectly?
What? No one has any idea what you just wrote. I’m going to try and translate it… ok, here goes
“Fuck you. You are a stupid bitch and you should go fuck your mother. You are white so you should do this, you whore with a stick walking up your ass.”
Hopefully this will help the English speaking readers of this page to understand your important response to this topic.
omgosh, this is sooo funny. i laughed so hard at ur response. i couldn’t figure out what that guy was saying either…must have been mad…bet he stutters, too. hahahaha
Thanks Mike. Disgusting insults are so much more tasteful when the grammar and spelling are correct. Now I’m off to fuck my mother….
lolololololololololololololololololololol
i laugh myself sometimes
that’s what i call irony
awesome you should have your own site.
Nothing is more ironic than stuffwhitepeoplelike
My hobby (see username) isn’t going to be ironic anytime soon.
Not 5 years ago (loser!), not 7 years ago (quaint!) but ten years ago, thank you very much.
Please read this, its just sooo funny

Irony – the vast majority of white people vote republican, want SUVs and eat fast food. of course US white people know this, but in case there foreigners or whatever reading this site… “white people” here refers to the smaller, non-fundamentalist group of white people who are uncomfortable with being white people.
If all white people were really like this the US would be a much better (albeit more self-righteous) country, and the world would actually be better off by extension. In the mean time, have fun with your priuses guys.
Well, Christian, your post was utterly devoid of irony, which is itself, ironic.
Or, it was just stupid, trying to be earnest.
Either way, you’re not as cool as the rest of us.
Of all these sites, the most pathetic post I’ve read was from a 44 year old guy working in the non-profit sector who advised that he was just now buying his first new car – a Toyota Yaris. That is the very definition of a loser.
Reality Bites.
if you like Alanis from “Plastic” and “Never Too Hot, Never Too Cold”, but don’t like “Ironic”. Is that Ironic?
We also Love Pottery Barn. And Restoration Hardware. And Williams Sonoma. Or pretty much anywhere that will overcharge us for Particle Board. We start that trend when we are poor students shopping at IKEA.
Seems like the whole concept of irony in this post is wrong. Something 10 years old might be outdated, but certainly not ironic.
i think it’s directed to upper/upper-middle class white Americans. the irony is that you’re privileged and wearing something that indicates “not privileged.”
sorry…i know white people (and pseudowhite people like me!) don’t like having their obviousness explained to them
I pooped my pants
I hate irony.

writing, reading or posting on this blog qualifies as the most ironic of all.
