This is too funny! I’m black…but I understand the pressure of the sophisticated dinner party. But I definitely draw the line with board games! (Lots of) Alcohol is a fine substitute for conversation.

well im not white (im mix black and spanish) but i enjoy hosting dinner party because in my family once or twice (sometimes more ) a month ,my mother (she is a cook for cathering cie)would host a dinner party for friends and family , she would introduce us to new dishes and recipes she had learn (she is a wonderful cook) and we would yes… sit and chat , joke and laugh (the is a lot a comedians in the family)for 2-3 hours and have a great time then we would play games..so now that im older I enjoy also hosting dinner parties with my friend and family … I don’t believe that this is a white thing nor a pretentious thing (if im spelling it right) to me it is a relaxing and fun way to see people you love or enjoy their cie since if i want to party and dance the night away i can go to the club without disturbing my neighboors …..

While eating, drinking, and conversation are expected to fill up 5-6 hours, sometimes it’s just not enough. In order to fill the silence, white people will often turn to board games (Cranium!) or Wii Bowling. This lets everyone have fun together without having to really talk to each other, which is usually more fun anyways.

This is absolutely true. I have, by necessity, had to attend many white dinner parties and I’ve hated nearly every one. White people are boring. They shouldn’t call these gatherings a “party.” As a black person, I feel a party is somewhere you go to dance. Not stand around talking about BS.

I think this blog refers more to white North American culture as opposed to all white culture (ie Europe). As in, white Canadians act like this too.

Canadians do a lot of the same things. Ok, we don’t have Trader Joe’s as far as I know, but the rest is pretty similar.

Especially the dinner parties

Funny how in the 70′s we were only concerned that our dinner parties didn’t cause food poisoning, because we had cats and guinea pigs in the kitchen (I got a picture of one of the cats licking the Thanksgiving turkey.)

For entertainment guests watched our kiddie puppet shows, which might have been mildly amusing when the puppets went wild and ate the scenery.

With three kids and numerous pets no one worried about decor–it was amazing that the house was still standing.

And a good time was had by all.

Hi. I must agree with Vladmir. I’m white, not american and these things are pretty much american culture, maybe ‘white americans’. Go to Netherlands, for example, nobody will ever invite you for such a party, lol. No, I’m not dutch…

But after all, I laughed at some parts.
