#91 San Francisco
March 23, 2008 by clander
San Francisco is one of the top US destinations for white people in terms of both travel and living. It is universally agreeable and is a safe discussion topic for any situation.
The city is considered one of the world’s premiere locations for white person research.
White people like to vacation in San Francisco because it has beautiful architecture, fantastic food, and it is near the water. They like to live in San Francisco because of its abundance of Non Profit Organizations, Expensive Sandwiches, Wine, political outlook, and most importantly its diversity.
Since many white people either live in, plan to move to, or closely identify with San Francisco it is imperative that you know how best to deal with them.
The City of San Francisco has a very multicultural population that ranges from white to gay to Asian. Within white culture this known as “ideal diversity” for its provision of exotic restaurants while simultaneously preserving property values. The presence of gays and Asians is imperative as it two provides two of the key resources most necessary for white success and happiness.
However, it is important to be aware of the fact that regions outside of San Francisco feature many people who are not white, gay or Asian. They are greatly appreciated during the census, but white people are generally very happy that they stay in places like Oakland and Richmond. This enables white people to feel good about living near people of diverse backgrounds without having to directly deal with troublesome issues like income gaps or schooling.
Still, the presence of other minorities are welcomed by white people for so many more reasons than just statistics! Much in the way that white people in Brooklyn feel a strong and unfounded connection with The Notorious BIG, white people in San Francisco feel the need to identify with rappers from the East Bay. Interestingly enough, the further they venture from San Francisco, the stronger their need to represent their region.
“Oh man, I went to the Too Short show last night. So hyphy man, so hyphy. You should come by some time and we’ll ghost ride the Prius.”
When you are presented with statements like this, the best response is to say “Berkeley is close to Oakland,” and the white person will likely nod and throw up some sort of west side hand sign.
Though it is exceptionally easy to put someone from San Francisco in a good mood, there are some caveats. When talking to a white person who lives in San Francisco, it is best not to bring up New York City. Though they live in a world class city, San Franciscans have a crippling inferiority complex about New York and even hinting at that will make them very sad or very defensive.
Fortunately, there is a fool-proof method for quickly returning the conversation to a positive, trust-building tone. No matter how much you have offended someone from San Francisco, you can always make them feel better by asking them how they feel about Southern California. They will instantly talk of how it is filled with crime, pollution, hegemonic culture, and the wrong kind of white people: “I swear California is like two separate countries, and I am so thankful that I live in the cultural center of the West Coast.” This will allow them to reassert their superiority and leave the conversation with a positive feeling about themselves and about you.

Volvos are also acceptable for ghost riding.

Um brown/black people do live within SF, not just out in Oakland or Richmond, most notably the Western Addition, Bayview Hunter’s Point, the Mission. But with the exception of the Mission, white people don’t go there.
You forgot the Tenderloin, I thought I died and went to Zimbabwe when I moved there.
Also I worked in the mission, so apparently at least one white person went there. Oh, and all the tweakers too.
Fuck San Francisco.
Don’t like coloreds. Then Kansas, Nebraska, or Oaklahoma is for YOU! Look into it, chump!
I’m from the east bay. I hate LA. I’ve never met someone from NorCal who doesn’t…
“I hate LA. I’ve never met someone from NorCal who doesn’t…”
I’m sure that’s true, since people from NorCal suffer from extreme samethink. Step outta line with any independent thought and all the samethinkers will barf their pre-digested baloney in your face. Gimme SoCal any day!
stuff white people like:
i hate LA
I loled so hard at that.
just wanted to say we dont say SanFran ever!!! Cool people call san francisco “The City” of “Frisco”…or San Francisco…COOL PEOPLE!!! Or you can just say “The Sco” if you happen to be extra gangster. Um LA is awesome, so is New York City (can’t say the same about upstate) Not every white person in San Francisco is an elitist liberal, some are elitist closet conservatives, and lots could give a damn either which way. And weed is practically legal and the City has some of the best parade/party/art festivals in the world. Its just a city!!! yay! Basically, its over 9000!!!! Ron Paul/Ron Jeremy 2012! Two Rons who have last names that are also first names!!
frisco? though nobody says sanfran either
we do not call it Frisco
Or San Pancho.
How about Friscan Sanso?
Or it’s location in the Asian Pacific rim as a port of entry for many Asian-Americans for 150 years: Francisco-San? There is a reason for the Bay area’s high-tech coprorate economic connections with Japan, China, India and elsewhere of the Asian persuasion. +
there is a huge illegal MEXICAN (not ambigious term “hispanic”) population in LA. not much in San Diego b/c there are much less freebies given out to all the locusts of mexicans.
LALA land is a welfare state; they give freebies out to illegal MEXICANs. what is “undocumented”; is that another professorial PC word. they are ILLEGAL, FELONS, part of the reason why California is bankrupt and has 12-31% unemployment–but cannot image educated people–legal americans CRBing (clean, rake, blow) as mexicans have that “work” all wrapped up as they are modern day slaves to the white man.
You are such a dumbass racist. You aren’t even a good racist. You’re worried about some illegal Mexican whose working dirt jobs to send something back to his mamma when you should be worried about all the Asians taking over shit.
Really you wanted to be a dishwasher, or a grape picker, or a restaurant worker, of course you did because the Asian guy you trained just got offered your job.
You know, mail order brides are brought over by pervy white dudes and can get papers in a few years, indians come over on visas that then allow them to bring over everyone and their mother, and international students from Asian come over and take the place of your kids at your universities, and you’re worried about Mexicans. Shit.
While you’re on your pussy power trip, guess whose fucking you in the ass without you even noticing.
Last time I heard China trying to gain world dominance by subverting us through debt, and doing a fine job might I add. Guess you missed that memo because you too distracted by Mexicans taking over your dirt ass job.
If your the future of the movement, god help us.
Um, SF gives huge freebies out to the homeless. Shi-, SF practically pays the homeless. So, what’s the difference?
I am not taking a moral stance on either side, but am just pointing out that the difference is legal residency status. Presumably the homeless in San Francisco are by and large legal American citizens. Amanda’s problem seems to be with being inside the United States ILlegally.
the massive mexican illegal invasion has crippled LA, however, the illegal mexicans have not yet crippled SanFran just yet.
please stop using the word–”hispanic” are they spanish? are they ecuadorian, argentinian, columbian, peruvian,
NO they are MEXICAN. ILLEGAL MEXICANS, like locusts have flocked to LA for all the freebies, warmth, and hand-outs. just like geese they go where there is free food and warm weather.
Okay, I’m gonna say it again, because Lord help us.
DUMBASS RACIST MORONS. Let China take over shit as long as they’re doing it legally, right? Glad they were able to distract you by waving an illegal over your face.

Actually illegals, or illegal aliens is a better term. In my sanctuary state to the north of you, we got ‘em all. Mexicans, hondurans, peruvians, colombians. With obamao in office, we should start a pool for when the next amnesty is going to be signed into law.
As long as it doesn’t come into your neighborhood, right?
dum dum americans 911 again please
how can you be so disgusting?
What a wonderfully fastidious use of the internet.
To answer in 3 paragraphs, the city of L.A. evolved its own character I find both interesting and challenging.
1. L.A. is a hour north of Mexico, the cities of San Diego, Santa Ana, San Bernardino, Palm Springs and El Centro on the border has a large Hispanic immigrant presence.
2. In most cases, undocumented immigration comes out of Mexico, with some from Central America and south America.
3. What a way to describe it…and find your comment not humane. Wealthy white folks came to L.A. for a long time and found a source of “cheap labor” next door to them. +
Yeah, yeah, its always the white mans fault. We went down and dragged the poor bastards out of their homes brought them to the US illegally and turned them into slaves, for profits,…… and oil,…….. and war mongering. Fruitbats in tinfoil hats.
An impressive thing about San Francisco I heard on a tour of the city is that there are about 250,000 dogs living there and only about 150,000 children. Sweet.
this site is hilarious and relevant, but it seems like the majority of the comments are from the people this site talks shit about. go away. ps this city would be less miserable if the hipsters were extracted and there was sunlight and some humidity. i stay at my boyfriend’s house on haight street. he’s lived here for almost 20 years. i don’t know HOW he’s done it. everyone comes to the haight to see the hippies and all that crap. but the truth is those “street kids” have more money than I DO. i really hate those stoned guitar players. stop doing drugs and acting so smug. SMUG!!!!!!!!!!!
OMG as a mid-20s native I completely second the statement about hipsters. I hate hipsters!!
They’re all here to have “the authentic San Francisco experience” which is of course completely mutated by them, in all their exact same clothes and exact same sunglasses (knockoff rayban wayfarers), with exact same stores and exact same bands. . . They are seriously responsible (or at least contributors) for turning the city into a caricature of its former self and it makes me really upset.
GO BACK to the midwest, and take your poor versions (hobos in the upper Haight) with you!
When I first met my future husband’s group of friends at one of their parties he asked me how I adjusting to his white suburban upper-middle class world. I looked around and said “White? The party is over 65% Asian, the only non-interracial couples are Asian and real estate is cheaper in the suburbs.” Only in San Francisco/Bay Area!
I wish I were either Asian or Jewish. They I might be part of the ruling class.
San Francisco is scenic & awesome, but a land of “fruits and nuts”, has a superiority complex about L.A. or Sou. Cal. people such as myself and not prepared for the “big one” about to strike in any moment. It’s the only major city where the white population is growing not in reverse, compared to L.A. dubbed the second Mexican city in the world outside of Mexico. However, San Francisco is the nation’s Chinese city but don’t point it out to the P-C wack jobs who find it racist and how not every Asian is Chinese (well duh). +
I agree, If by White People you mean ‘self absorbed greater than thou liberal retards’ or ‘people that wholeheartedly embrace diversity while sending their kids to private school’
White liberals think their special elite force has the power to take back the city, like they are the answer to end the “brown tide” of Hispanics. I do know downtown L.A. like South Broadway street from Civic Center to the Santa Monica freeway was gentificated, it used to be largely Central American and Mexican section in the 1970′s to late 90′s. Main Street & 13th Place was the birthplace of the infamous MS13 (also known as Mafia Salvadoreno 13) street gang. Today, you find Disney Hall, Staples Center and new condonimums. Not only S.F., it’s been happening in downtown L.A.+
