#1 Coffee

January 18, 2008 by clander

There is no doubt that white people love coffee. Yes, it’s true that asians like iced coffee and people of all races enjoy it. But I promise you that the first person at your school to drink coffee was a white person. You could kind of tell they didn’t enjoy it, but they did it anyways until they liked it – like cigarettes.

White people all need Starbucks, Second Cup or Coffee Bean. They are also fond of saying “you do NOT want to see me before I get my morning coffee.” White guys will also call it anything but coffee: “rocket fuel,” “java,” “joe,” “black gold,” and so forth. It’s pretty garbage all around.

If you want to go for extra points – white people really love FAIR TRADE coffee, because paying the extra $2 means they are making a difference.

To be fair coffee was invented by Africans and was/has been a African/Arab thing. But not in the way white people are into it of course.

Anonymous is definitely the whitest respondent on this entry. “To be fair” White people love fairness. “coffee was invented by Africans and was/has been a African/Arab thing.” Especially fairness to other races. People of colour invented coffee, get that, other whites! Not that is was stated otherwise, but anonymous must be glowing with multicultural pride by pointing out the achievements of non-whites.

Arab kids start drinking coffee after they get off the bottle or the boob…

But we drink out of tiny cups and sometimes (if we are from the Khaleej) drink a clear-colored version of it-so i don’t know if that counts

This is such a funny site. It’s been less than one month since this site’s existence and I congratulate you writers (“whriters?”) for the great material.

Continue to enlighten us non-whites about your whiteness; I believe many whites like to call that “integration”. 😉

I recently found someone’s iPod (gee, ya think they were white?) that she left at a grocery store (!?) and after spending a day trying to get it back to her, while she flamed me on said 400 dollar device as a thief, she presented me with a $5 Starbucks card.

I don’t drink coffee.
20 bucks would have been nice.

Wow you are insightful 🙂

I agree with you on whites loving the outdoors and making people feel bad for not joining them. I live in the tropics where the humidity is 70-80% and the daily temperature at least 30 degree celsius. It’s freaking hot and many of the white expats who just arrived love to show how they love going for jungle tracks and getting lobster tans in our blistering heat when no locals in the right mind would bother to go out in the heat, feed mosquitoes and run the risk of heatstroke.

Gee… I’m white, but I can’t stand coffee? Does this somehow diminish my white-ness? Can I still claim ‘caucasian’ on my job applications, or should I check the box next to ‘other’?
I’m so confused…
on February 17, 2008 at 5:49 pm Rudi

Some of you haven’t understood the concept of “whiteness”. It’s about trends, activities and behavior that only white people enjoy (liking diversity as such) or can enjoy (feeling superior to other whites). Of course, most of the subjects are of the lame progressive kind which are whiter than white. If you are one of these progressive minded idiots, we are here to mock you! If you are white and don’t enjoy the trends, activities and behavior on this site, we don’t care!

Obviously, Anonymous, making a list about white people is not white (something that is only enjoyed by white people) since many black comedians made a career out of making fun of whites. Of course, only white people like disparaging jokes about their own race made by an ethnic minority. Paradoxically, it makes them feel good about themselves (very white!)

I think Starbucks is not cool anymore; if you go to a Starbucks regularly, the only way not to meet with disapproval is if there literally isn’t any other coffee place in town. But if that’s the case, you have the opportunity to add hurriedly, with a hint of frustration and apology in your tone, “I really wish we had a good local coffee shop around here, but ya know, I have to get my brew from somewhere!” Sympathy and commiseration will ensue.

I never understand the addictions to coffee and cigarettes. You pretty much have to force yourself to like them by drinking/smoking for weeks until you’re hooked on the caffeine or nicotine.

fair trade promotes a free market. Markets are free when they’re controlled by one company.

i meant markets are NOT free when they’re controlled by one company. Fair trade promotes small business and competition. Old conservative values over neoliberal ones.

I’m non-white, and you’ve helped me realize that pretty much ALL the things that I’ve felt inadequate about over the years (don’t snowboard or do yoga, don’t drink wine or coffee, don’t go to plays, don’t enjoy 80s nights (SO TRUE), don’t own a bike, don’t listen to public radio, etc.) are really just white things! Of couuurse I don’t fit the mold! Wow… even the kitchen appliance obsession suddenly makes sense! And the co-ed sports! And the cottages they buy on man-made lakes, so they can own waterfront property!
That’s a lot of exclamation marks, but I mean every single one. I am serious. This has actually affected my sense of self-worth. I feel so much better now. Thank you.

on February 20, 2008 at 7:15 am praxenakis

I work in a coffee shop, and what white people love more than anything is ORDERING coffee. They like this more than they like drinking it, because it gives them a chance to be really picky about something. The worst thing you can do is get somebody’s latte or cappuccino wrong. They will immediately think you are stupid or intentionally trying to offend them.

White people also love to stand in front of a counter and spend at least 10 minutes sucking their teeth and staring at all the options, holding up the line while everybody waits for their white ass. The more meaningless variations on something you can give a white person to choose from, the happier they will be.

Instead of drinking their coffee before class, white students are like totally sooo busy that they have to bring a latte to class every morning. Their grande cup proudly displaying that classic green and white Starbucks logo. They look like such scholars sipping on their chai tea latte… it’s a proven fact that not only does everyone take you more seriously when you’re sipping coffee during a lecture but studies show it can add 10% to your overall grade. And let’s not forget the cup reminds all the poor people how rich they are because they can afford a $5 cup of coffee every morning. I love white people!

Obviously, coffee is an inherent white trait as even though my parents abhorred coffee, I somehow managed to pick it up. They were just ignoring their natural desires!

On a more serious note, this list is amusing and I love the satire, but a lot of it can be applied to American culture as a whole and not just white people. To be fair, “white people” do make up the majority of “traditional” American culture. However, many subjects are trivialized (recycling, art) in a way that I don’t see as funny, but hell, I’m a white person; I suppose that means I see things in a different light. Everyone, regardless of culture/ethnicity, is backwards and strange in the eyes of others.

I am using a Mac, by the way. A mac that my overpaid father who I hate bought for me as a Christmas present. Man, I’m so white. He can buy me expensive stuff I don’t need but can’t help pay for college, complain, complain, complain. God it feels so good and white to hate on him.

…

I don’t really hate him. We just have on of those indie movie type of relationships, cause, you know, we’re white. But seriously, I’m PAINFULLY “white.” Perhaps I should befriend Senator Obama to save face!

I’m a korean living in seoul.(name: Oh Minseok)
Korean special investigative team are investigating samsung
corporation.
But they does not work right.
I am suspicious to be bought off.
samsung corporation has many crimes.
And the team investigates samsung corporation.
It contains korean companies samsung,huyndai,sk CEOs’ illegal issuing
stocks or bonds.
The quantity are plenty.
(Three company CEOs did(and are doing) many crimes to me.
Many koreans are knowing it.
But many koreans are bought off by illegal issuing stocks or bonds.)
The team are knowing it.
Korean special investigative team must investigate this.
But they are trying to conceal it.
I ask for asking for this criminal investigation to prosecutors in any
country.
And help the shareholders.

P.S)
Three companies are hacking me and trying to kill me.
And are suspicious to use my name and email illegally.
If you receive another message that I dictated above are not true,
it is not from me, but from three companies.
The things I dictated above are true.

how/why is it that (some) white people love things that are NOT natively available in (mostly) white (formerly) colonized places?

examples:

1) Coffee
2) Chocolate
3) Bananas
4) Oil

Imagine if coffee-producing countries boycotted (white) countries until they stopped colonizing?

Trade revolution, baby! And don’t think you can clone a good espresso OR dark cacao. Bananas has been tried (and it’s killing them off) and the oil thing…well, we don’t have to go there….

The best thing about this site is everyone’s contribution via the comments. This blog entry is good, but there is so much extra value added by such observations as the preppy uni students (love Jessica #56) and women’s two handed drinking habits.

And Alina #39, I know exactly how you feel sister. I’m of Chinese descent and grew up in Australia where I felt that I had to aspire to everything that was white and middle-class, but felt SO inadequate. I didn’t know that it was because I’d never be white. What this blog shows is that all of these things that we felt inadequate about are the trappings of that “privileged” position of being of the dominant culture. That’s why self-effacing and cultural appropriation have become such a white thing. As an “ethnic” (such a white term) my difference is evident. If I were white, I’d probably feel stifled and would want to have a Chinese tattoo to assert my individuality (but I’d probably love my coffee).

White people do love their Starbucks, but it’s not enough now to order a tall latte. You need a custom drink.
“I’ll have the usual….tall iced nonfat latte with two pumps of sugar-free hazelnut syrup…no whip. Thanks.”
You can even get this on your Starbucks gift card now, so you don’t have to say it every time, but white people like saying it every time, especially when their hipster friends are with them.
on February 23, 2008 at 12:08 pm Elle

OMG. I think I’m white. I LOVE coffee! I drink it everyday, and I have a Starbuck’s card that I am constantly refilling. I also buy organic fair trade coffee to “make a difference.”

Other white stuff I do:
Biking, hiking, snorkeling, cross-country skiing, recycling. Additionally I dream of riding a European city bike through the streets of Paris to shop at the fromagerie et boulangerie.

Oh, did I mention that my significant other is white? I’m AA.

This site is hilarious. It’s a broad generalization of middle and upper class whites, as well as other ethnicities of those classes.

on February 23, 2008 at 7:05 pm Experienced White Person

This entire list of things is only loved by a smaller portion of white people: what they call in politics the “Middle Class Liberal Elite”. A list that truly encompasses what ALL or MOST white people love would certainly not include “being the only white person around”. That would go on the blog “Stuff White People Fear”. Nor would a proper list include “Natural Medicines” or “Asian Fusion Food”. “Natural Medicine”, for your average white American, consists of Pepto-Bismol, Aspirin and Miller Lite, along with a second-rate court drama show. I don’t know if this blog was written by a white person or not. If it wasn’t, well, the writer didn’t do their research. If it was, well, in the words of 3 Six Mafia’s Crunchy Blac, “Y’all gotta catch up wit yo kind, dawg!”
on February 23, 2008 at 9:25 pm Great writing, but...

The writer of this blog is excellent at putting words together in clever and creative ways that make them roll off of your mental voice so smoothly when you’re reading. So thus, I give mad props to the writing talent.

But I agree with the experienced white person. This whole website is about the stereotypes people have of yuppie white americans. Go to any country and there are jokes about those crazy americans who love credit cards and HD-tv and paying $8 for a cup of coffee.

That’s the amazing thing about having a good sense of how to actually write and how to be a good story teller. You can say the most generic every day stuff, and pile on a ton of generalizations that allow you to avoid actually analyzing anything, but if you say it in a clever and melodic way, people laugh and say “OMG, that’s so true! Haha!”

You know what I want to see on here? Nascar, pick-up trucks, and professional wrestling. I want to see an entry about Christmas lights that get left on the house until the 4th of July.

Or maybe we could just call a spade a spade and admit that it’s a class thing and not a race thing. But that might take away the fun, because it’s one thing to make fun of other people for being white. You’re supposed to be proud of yourself for your own heritage, which can mean thinking yours is better than theirs as long as you don’t try to act on that opinion or do anything remarkably aggressive about it. But if you start making fun of rich people because “they’re rich” and “they have money,” all of a sudden you’re a socialist or just jealous. At least you don’t get the sour grapes argument when you poke fun at white people, and you’re allowed to keep your political leanings.
on February 23, 2008 at 11:12 pm Oxy

haha this is so true..they are obsessed with coffee and those corner coffee shops! I mean every race has their own common thing that they do and this happens to be the “white thing”. In response to the person above me: theres no need to get so defensive, this is supposed to be something fun and humorous. If they wanted to write about nascar,christmas lights and wrestling, it would’nt be funny anymore. It would just be a blog about random things people like but on the boring side. When listening to any stand up comedian, they all make fun of races and what people do because its funny and people like to hear about it so why not. If you feel so strongly then maybe you should start your own blog.

White people love to talk to you in coffeeshops like they are your best friends They will tell you ALL their business and then want to know ALL yours.

they will also look at the background on your computer and they to scrike up some lame conversation about it.

this is why Apple made so much $$$ from ipod. you must use it in a coffeeshop. it;s like reading a book on a plane to keep people from talking to you…

Actually, if you really cared to even google search this claim (though it’s not like any others on your site have been painstakingly researched) you would find out that we drink more soda than coffee. Whites (and blacks) drink sodas around the clock. The vast majority of coffee in the US is consumed in the morning. Actually, water, from tap and bottle, wins the popularity contest. The English, the most whitest people on the planet, favor tea. The biggest coffee drinkers are Asians, and cities like Seoul are resplendent with coffee shops. But like the person says, about five comments earlier, these articles are generalizations based on one person’s observations of overprivileged upper middle class whites. My guess is that the authors of this blog live near some really exclusive well-scrubbed white community near LA, Chicago or NYC with lots of soccer moms, recent college grads, and classic yuppie types, and since the hate they feel towards whites prevents them from forming friendships with white people, they haven’t actually gotten to personally know any white people. To the writers of this blog, white people are some ugly, uniform caricature.
on February 24, 2008 at 11:47 am Hai

Thats true about white people calling coffee something other than the word “coffee.”

I used to work at a starbucks and I got confused alot with these coffee terms because I’m young, kids my age dont drink too much coffee and I had parents that aren’t native to the country. so coffee terms were not tought to me. The first one I remember was “can I get a redeye?”
I responded, “Thats not on the menu.” My boss yelled at me.

Hmm… I think the ideal follow-up to this entry would one on oxygen. Really, ALL white people are totally into it. Some even go so far as to act as though they’ll die without it. Others are so into it that they even take it with them when they go swimming underwater. As if there isn’t an ample supply several feet above them (maybe that air for the common folks just isn’t good enough for them).

I think things are becoming a step above starbucks now. instead of supporting the big chain coffee dealer, it’s trendier to go to more obscure cafes where the lights are dimmer and people talk about how they’re torn between hilary and obama.

This is absolutely true now, this falls back on “Indie Cred.” Here in this college town the two most “underground” coffee places to be and be seen are places like “Black Dog Coffee” (Which offer exclusively Free Trade blends) and the Holy Grail, “All Saints Coffee.” This place is full furnished with antique furniture, fully populated by “hipsters” and the biggest key, open 24 hours.

On another note, I’m waiting for the entry on Diet Coke. I and many fellow white people find Diet Coke just as crucial as oxygen. Its all the pleasures of Coke without the guilt of Sugar and Calories. This also falls into white peoples addiction on caffeine.

Yes, Africans invented coffee, but white people adopted it. It’s the same with the green tea craze right now . . . I’m Asian and have been drinking it and gen mai cha my entire life, but now all the white people are drinking it because it’s healthy and helps them lose weight . . . ridiculous.

Coffee – it’s the trendy white people drug of choice. Since most white people dont do real drugs anymore, they have transferred their addictions to the coffee bean and the many flavor variations. Just like the heroin in the 80’s-90’s and the marijuana of the 90’s-2000’s, each strain gets it’s own exotic name/blend.

Other beverages should also be white.. With caffeine so although there is sprite / 7up, that is useless in my world. Red Bull is a good concept but a little too toxic for daily consumption in the a.m. per my preference…also not good with expensive sandwiches or salads. White Coffee YES..now make it happen UCLA grads.

I read the post..found it amusing..find it true..90% of it. My first thought..I didn’t realize that White people had so much of their own ‘cultural diversity’ but the issue isn’t about having or not having cultural diversity..its about..seeing the world..consisting of people..individuals..who have two eyes..two ears..etc..we are all human..we all act stupid sometimes..and we all have our class differences..but at the end of the day..you can’t get butthurt..jus cuz someone pointed out an obvious thing..about your culture..hell..i wish i’d get a dollar..every time someone impersonated an indian person..talkin like raaa-ta–teeh toh or…beggin me to do the apu accent….or ask me questions about my cultural upbringing..etc…i don’t get butthurt..cuz thas part of my culture….their is a reason why indians talk that..or think like that..now if a white/black/brown/other person..was raised in a geographical environment..different..than the ones they knew [as in the land of their Ancestors]..you would these individuals..NOt sharing the same attitudes..as their white counterparts..living elsewhere..being raised by different cultural norms..

The Human Family – Caucasian [European, Indian]
Black [African]
Oceanic [Malanesian, Micronesian, Polynesian
Australian Aboriginal]
Mongolian {Asian, Native American]

Out of these groupings..I fall under the Asian Category..just because it’ devised in a way..to fill the gap by grouping as a whole..the remaining..nonwhite..african..or oceanic persons]

Since different geogrphaic climate and material conditions have shaped the peoples of this world..its no wonder..why our physical bodies..look dissimilar…ie an Eskimo..short and bulky…is better suited to survive in a colder climate..and tall and lanky African person.. is better suited for a hotter climate..one conserves heat..the other repels….texture in skin changes as a result..more layers..for an Inuit from the Artic..and less subcontenous layers of skin on an African… and being a nomadic species…we’ve traveled the world..only to not understand our own biodiversity…as a species..only focused on the surface…but upon closer inspection..we are able to see why an asian person has widerspread eyes..while an caucasian..does not..or why a caucasion has less melanin..than a noncaucasion…is it our genes..and our environment…and we need to be more accepting of each other..because we are part of this vast global economy..that in the coming days of globalization..our differences..will become more apparent..yet our behaviors..will be more similar.

The reality is..we close our eyes..intentionally..we are reluctant to change..because change..upsets the balance..we’ve longed to create..and its because of our own..limitations..that the eyes of ethnocentrism..continue to deceive us..and probably the only thing..stopping us from coming together..as a unified human race…

1) White people don’t actually really like coffee, they like starbucks which actually tastes like used dishwashing water, but they look cool drinking coffee so they managed to come up with 1001 crap methods of diluting it so you don’t actually have to taste any coffee.

2) A lot of other non-white races like coffee (Arabs/Mediterraneans in general etc…) its just that you have noticed coffee drinking because East Asians don’t really like it (because they prefer to drink yellowy tasteless warm water and call it tea).

*slurp* What’s all this business about white people and coffee? *slurp*
on February 27, 2008 at 12:05 pm Intangelon

So let me get this straight — all these lists are absolutely law, and anyone white should be ashamed of it. Okay. Is there anything besides snide, ironic carping that can make up for institutional racism, or is this it?

I ask because I recognize not white people in these lists, but some white people. But then, that’s the point, right? By seeing that, I’m supposed to be reminded that white people have been doing just that to non-white races (and even Italians, Irishmen, Poles and actual Caucasus caucasians like Arabs and Hebrews) for centuries.

Reaffirming stereotypes is okay, so long as it’s not from the white perspective, and it’s done comedically (that’s Carlos Mencia’s whole career, isn’t it?).

I’m clearly too dense to understand why these lists are anything more that mildly amusing (and in fact, they get old quickly), and I know I’m going to be pilloried for even posting (ooh, look, whitey’s perplexed!), but seriously — these lists are clever, but hardly emblematic.

And before anyone asks, yes, I talk this way all the time, and yes, I am white.

By “white people” you mean whites in the US or other western countries.

Go to Latin America, and the generalizations on this blog fall flat. EVERYBODY drinks coffee in Latin America — Brazil is 70% brown and black and they drink coffee all day long. Never heard a white Latin American say “you don’t want to see me in the morning before my coffee!”

Your are all a bunch of fucking racists, especially the idiots that created this website. What the hell is wrong with you people? We live in a multicultural world – White, Black, Brown, Yellow, who fucking cares? Why do you need to draw attention to the color of someone’s skin and then categorize them accordingly? What does it have to do with anything?

I’m white. I don’t drink coffee, I hate expensive sandwiches, and I have no problem drinking tap water. Nothing I do or anyone does has ANYTHING to do with skin color – it has to do with where we grow up, the culture/religion we experienced, and the social environment(s) that shaped us. Skin color is an excuse to segregate humans into artificial categories. Spend 3 months in the sun and guess what? Your skin color is different! So, by your logic that means that based on that color, I’m inclined to act differently.

That’s the worst reasoning I’ve ever heard, and I seriously hope you didn’t go to a University because if I were the Dean of that University, I’d tear up your degree and shit on it.

You all sound like my idiot bassackwards grandfather who seems to be able to relate the phrase ‘the jews’ to everything you can possibly imagine from the state of football to rationalizing to himself that he’s too old, senile, and out of touch with reality to know who Tom Petty is. His pride and his denial cause him to blame that on someone – usually ‘the jews’. Whoever created this site is no better than him. Shame on you.

What, I think, makes this different from how it’s characterized the more angry comments is that it’s probably written by white people… or a some combination of folk that includes white people. I don’t know that others would be able to capture the humor as well. Or I could be totally wrong. 🙂

Now, what gives me a morning jolt is the 95 cent X-Large Diet Coke from McD’s. Apparently this is only available where I live (in St. Louis) because I have been to other parts of the US and the workers look at me like I am from Mars if I ask them if they have that special.

I am totally amazed by white people’s crazed need for coffee. I could never stand it but where I work I am in charge of making sure the coffee is stocked and the machine is working and people have for real almost physically harmed me if something interferes with their consumption of coffee. Insanity!

I think the only item I can see missing from the list would be:

Exaggerated importance of reading as seen by reading deep literature and frowning on material such as Popular Mechanics and using that info to actually fix something;
as well as reading “the book” before going to see “the movie” just so you can walk out of the theater saying the book was much better.

I guess this site is kind of funny, here and there.

I live in America and yeah, Starbucks makes me want to cringe when I’m reminded at how they’ve fucked up a simple thing like a cup of coffee. I watched the Cuban bakery, pros at making a delicious cafe con leche (and that’s with whole milk, thanks) in my gentrifying neighborhood get terrorized by people who order their retarded shit at Starbucks. You know the type – fat people in SUVs ordering coffee-shakes at over 1000 calories each. mmm.

I want to punch people in the head when they get all bent out of shape when the Cubanos aren’t interested in replicating what they’re used to getting at Starbucks. Now THAT’s white. “You don’t have lo-fat soy??? What am I going to drink then? Whaaaa!”

But in reading the responses to this posting, it just shows that most people don’t travel the world much. To wit, you sound like a bunch of village idiots. Get out more.

Interesting…funny…and much of it very well written. A tip of the hat, there. But shouldn’t people just go ahead and like whatever it is they like? Do we actually have to worry about the cultural relevance of it all? Is it really any different to be one who says ‘You do NOT want to see me before my morning apricot nectar…’? It seems to me that most of us are just trying to do the best we can to get from today to tomorrow in whatever quirky little world we live in. And some worlds are pretty quirky. I’m in favor of people doing whatever it is that they feel they need to do. Coffee…bottled water…shots of vodka…whatever. I hope it all works out for you…

And you know what? Jews HAVE been doing the same thing — making fun of themselves — for scores of decades; every been to a stand-up show at a Catskills resort, or seen a Billy Crystal comedy special?

White people like coffee. But we don’t like Starbucks. We just don’t. People have hated Starbucks since before it moved to my NorCal area. Maybe people in Seattle like Starbucks but it has always been scorned and ridiculed by every white person I’ve known.

A few years back, I regularly participated in an online, mostly white discussion group. People from all over the USA and Canada participated. One of the (white, Denver area) people on the group loved Starbucks and was naive enough to say so. Her status in the group dropped immediately. It was like “Ew! That is sooooo uncool.” I don’t think she’s ever recovered her prior semi-hip, likable image.

Some of the white preteens and teens in my area frequent the local Starbucks. (It was embarassing when one opened in my town. OMG, what’s next? A strip mall?) But the mostly buy tea and non-coffee products. I think that Starbucks is considered cool in middle school. In high school, going to Starbucks considered neutral (neither cool nor uncool).

White adults hate, hate, hate Starbucks, just like we hate hate hate Wal-Mart. Even fair-traded, organically grown coffee is bad/evil if it’s from Starbucks. We will drink Starbucks if there is no other coffee available (or convenient). But we’d rather drink something that’s not from a conglomerate. (We will drink Peets, which is a large chain, but that’s the ONLY coffee chain that’s acceptable to say that you like.) At least we don’t have to worry about them opening a Wal-Mart near our town.
on March 1, 2008 at 7:36 pm Myself

I’m fascinated by this blog. At first read, it’s hilarious. But then I started thinking a lot about the blog, what it really could be saying, and it somehow became less funny.

I have come to agree with many of the comment authors that this is not really a blog about race, it’s actually a blog about social class. NASCAR, BeautyShots, mullets, WalMart and other markers of lower “white” socioeconomic class don’t appear on this blog. Somehow, then, this blog is “okay” because the classism endemic in our lives and social constructs is the one debate that America hasn’t yet had. Many times it’s masked under the term “racism”.

A separate revelation also led me to think that this blog could easily be authored by a right-wing republican. This blog says many of the same things that the right wing fanatic radio talk show hosts would say about liberals.

I still haven’t figured out why, but all of the sudden I realized that if this blog were written by right wing fanatics, it wouldn’t be so funny to me; I’d just be mad. What is that all about? I still don’t know. But this blog does make me think.

“I think Starbucks is not cool anymore; if you go to a Starbucks regularly, the only way not to meet with disapproval is if there literally isn’t any other coffee place in town. But if that’s the case, you have the opportunity to add hurriedly, with a hint of frustration and apology in your tone, “I really wish we had a good local coffee shop around here, but ya know, I have to get my brew from somewhere!” Sympathy and commiseration will “ensue.”

The conundrum in my town is buy from Starbucks like a dork, or buy from the good local coffee house, whose non-white owner steals her barista’s tips and makes them work at night until everything is clean, but tries to only pay them the hours she scheduled them.

This place is a hoot. I’m not white, but I imagine the disgruntled are offended because either: a)it is true. But they may feel too evolved or embarrassed by having petty/materialistic or imagery behaviours realized. Most of these properties/behaviours are accurate for the nouveau riche and/or the ones enslaved to metropolis. b)they may feel left out. Probably a cashflow problem obstructing the attainment of this lifestyle. Expendable income always purveys luxuries, both material and immaterial.

I haven’t read every entry, but I hope there’s one mentioning the official uniform–a $300 pair of weathered/embellished jeans manufactured by some “underground” designer mentioned in all the latest fashion magazines, a $200 “vintage” tee shirt with graphics (probably displaying an eagle or a guitar or any farouche rock star inspiration), and of course, the luxury designer aviator sunglasses. Fashion magazines are like their Bibles. They have to be on top of it in order to know what to do next.

has anyone else noticed how ridiculous the concept of “chai tea” is? chai literally means tea. so when you order a chai tea at your local starbucks (or the one within 100 feet of you), you are essentially asking for a “tea tea”, effectively making you a moron. imagine how much time would be saved if we just asked for a tea.

on March 4, 2008 at 2:42 am from a real black person...

…to the obviously NOT “black guy” at comment 133 (who apparently just copped his list from a Dave Chappelle episode and a minstrel show repertoire): there already are top 10 and 20 lists of stuff black people like on the ‘net written by ACTUAL black people, such as:

http://cobb.typepad.com/cobb/2008/02/stuff-black-peo.html

my favorite on that list is “hair preparations” – i have 7 half-used jars of the stuff (scalp dressing, hair growth oils, etc) sitting under my bathroom sink as i speak…i especially love my coconut oil/vanilla/almond/honey/sun-ripened raisin blend :o)

**[a close second from another website is “finding out a criminal is not black”: that’s right, gotta love those white serial killers! and the black DC snipers one may ask? i admit shocking, but b*tch pleez! that was a total fluke, he and that brainwashed kid barely count…]

There was a question earlier up there about where’s the reference to white trash, but the point is moot, the rednecks that can actually read are usually incapable of operating a machine any more complex than a coin-operated washer. Of course, this is counting Ford Mustangs and F150s, which are less complex than your average coin-op laundry equipment. However, Poster # 230 has apparently been shown how to Blog (probably by the Asian he buys his reports from, or the Jew that does his taxes). It just goes to show that if you think all blacks are good for is servitude, you should chill out and buy a bag of weed from one. I mean blacks good for servitude? Been there, done that, ended badly!! Learn from history!

I mean as true as all this is, it’s supposed to be fun, and being mean-spirited is not OK, nor is it PC at all. I have to go to Starbucks and stand in line talking about my 2000 import sedan so I will have no idea what I want, and will have to make the Guatamalan waiter do what he has to, which is wait for MY white ass!!!

I only drink coffee (and I call it “coffee” even though I’m a “white guy”)(actually that’s not true, I’m more of a “peachie”) so I can stay awake longer and smoke more Pall Malls. I prefer Yuban or Maxwell House, but Hills Bros. will do. I don’t care much for Starbucks’ coffee and I really don’t care for their prices.
I started drinking heavily when I was in the Air Force.
Drinking coffee and smoking Pall Malls are best done whle you are on “break”.
Since “break” is one of my best work skills, it follows that I drink a lot of coffee and smoke a lot of Pall Malls.

my roomie is cuban, but she was raised in a pretty white place, so her family is basically white people who tend to do cuban things, not the other way around.

she drinks so much coffee, sometimes she comes into the room and just tells me stories about how much she was shaking that day. she’s like “i’ve been working on my model [architecture major] for the passed 23 hours and i haven’t slept in 29 hours and even then i only got like…2 hours of sleep. i’ve had 3 cups of coffee and my hands just keep shaking. i can’t make it stop!”

she’s hilarious. she’s pretty white…which i can now confirm, considering how many things on this list i KNOW she loves…like “juno” and throwing grammy & oscar parties and modern furniture and bottles of water.

even ethnic people who absorb “white people tendancies” love the same things white people like. i love how this works..

White. Hate Coffee, it’s nasty. @Rudi, what did you expect anonymous to say? “I hate black people! White people invented coffee not you uppity negroes! White Power!!” And since when is it all right to make generalizations about another person’s race like this? If a white person said all black people love watermelon and fried chicken, have big red lips, talk like ignorant morons and are criminals the black community would be up in arms whether it was a joke or not. They would not stop until that person was financially, socially and emotionally destroyed. They would get death threats, there would be obscene messages scrawled across their house. I guess it’s allright to be racist if you’re black though, because YOU had it so hard 400 years ago before the United States was even created and before you were born. Because of the fact that someone the present white community had no control over mistreated someone no one in the black community ever even knew, we owe you something. No, that’s not the way it works. White people do not owe minorities who’ve never even experienced mistreatment from them anything.

I started drinking coffee when I joined the working world at 14.
I call it “coffee”. I prefer Yuban or Maxwell House, but Hills Bros will do.
I have been inside a Starbucks, but I don’t care much for their coffee and I REALLY don’t care for their prices.
I drink coffee so I can stay awake longer and smoke more Pall Malls.
I started drinking heavily when I was in the Air Force.
Drinking coffee and smoking Pall Malls are best done whle you are on “break”.
Since “break” is one of my best work skills, it follows that I drink a lot of coffee and smoke a lot of Pall Malls.

In response to #203 (anon): I’m white, I love Starbucks coffee, and I really don’t care what anyone else thinks about that. Why on earth do I drink Starbucks coffee when I know it makes me so uncool? Good lord, I must actually like how it tastes. Imagine that. >_> It’s really rather pathetic to base your choice in coffee shops (or anything, for that matter) on what’s “cool”. It’s even more pathetic to look down on other people who don’t particularly care what’s “cool” and what’s not.

To #43 (praxenakis): I suppose you’re not picky about anything. I don’t order a flavor shot or nonfat milk in my latte just to be picky, I do it because that’s the way I want it, because that’s how I’ll get the most enjoyment out of it. And if someone gets my order wrong, I’ll more than likely thank them as usual and not say a word about it. Also, as an indecisive person, I am indeed one of those white people who stand there looking at the options, trying to decide what exactly I’m in the mood for. However, I DON’T do while standing in line. I only actually get in line once I’ve decided what I want. So don’t you dare lump all of us together. Some of us try damn hard to be polite and considerate.

Some of you really need to get it through your heads that the vast majority of white coffee drinkers out there aren’t trying to be “cool” and “hip” with their coffee habits. We don’t go to Starbucks (or anywhere else) to be cool. We don’t grind beans to be cool. We don’t prefer one brewing method over another based on how cool they are. It all comes down to taste for most of us.

And no matter how disgusted Europeans get, some of us just love steamed milk and *gasp* flavorings with our espresso. It makes us horrible human beings, and we know that. We just don’t care. I should mention that I’ve been to Europe, and I’ve tried the whole espresso thing, and I just don’t get it. It tastes horrible. If wanting my coffee to taste good makes me a weak person in anyone’s eyes, then so be it. If me dumping liquid, flavored CoffeeMate in my coffee when I brew it at home offends anyone’s delicate sensibilities, you need to get over that. I’m going to keep doing it anyway.

wow, seriously? what does being white have to do with liking these things? at least white people strive to do something with their lives. good list though, 82 reasons why white people are better than niggers. a list of “what niggers like” just wouldn’t be as fun. fried chicken, grape soda, kool-aid, watermelon, white women, and stealing my fucking car.

Sorry for my ignorance about things that white or black people like or do not like. In fact I’m trying to understand why is so important such kind of thing in lifetime. If it is not hurt anyone, if it makes part of our right of choice and nobody is obliged to, let me know where’s the sin, the fault… I suppose that is worthy searching common points than act as both wp and black had came from different world and emphasize their differences is a scientific necessity to figth against the invaders.
By the way, it’s not a constructive attitude. Where are we going? To live together or kill each other!

on March 8, 2008 at 9:09 am Franklish Terminosity

Hmmm… sad but true. I started drinking coffee in high school, when my friends and I hung out at Denny’s, smoking cigarettes and composing collective poetry. By college, I was known for carrying a 44-oz trucker thermos cup of coffee with me everywhere I went. I often filled it up 3-4 times a day. Now I make more money and I have fresh roasted coffee shipped to me cross-country in 5-lb. bags from an organic free-trade coffee roaster in California. How far I’ve fallen; how white I’ve truly become.

“Anonymous is definitely the whitest respondent on this entry. “To be fair” White people love fairness. “coffee was invented by Africans and was/has been a African/Arab thing.” Especially fairness to other races. People of colour invented coffee, get that, other whites! Not that is was stated otherwise, but anonymous must be glowing with multicultural pride by pointing out the achievements of non-whites.”

There is nothing white people like more than to point out the whiteness of other people. It makes them feel a little like they themselves are less white than other white people. There are few things that are whiter than this.

What about cutting down on coffee? That’s a pretty solid whites-only niche, more so than coffee itself I’m pretty sure. It usually leads right to tea, though, another white market.
on March 9, 2008 at 7:06 pm HadEnough

I’m white and I love coffee, almost as much as I love my 4X4 Dodge, my deer heads on the wall, and going to the opera on occasion. And I’m a girl. The only thing I love more than all the above is my gorgeous red-headed, blue-eyed Viking son who will grow up to be white MAN just like his daddy-my husband. My son is only six and he already likes coffee and can load and shoot his very own Crickett .22-and does so accurately.

But more importantly, he loves for me to read to him and is learning to read for himself, to play computer games, and to explore this world. White people love more than anything-even coffee- to be good parents.
on March 9, 2008 at 7:13 pm HadEnough

P.S. Amend that post to “…white people like me…” There are plenty of famous white movie people who suck at parenting and plenty more anonymous ones who suck at parenting as well. For starters, having children out of wedlock is not the best scenario for the child involved. Imagine what that child thinks-” My parents didn’t even love each other enough to try and be married. I’m not a product of love, I’m a product of horny lust. ”

But I digress…

ive been around some white people, and i am simply amazed by their ability to consume coffee at any time of the day or night. you forgot to mention white people make getting coffee a social excursion, who else but white people will say “hey lets go get some coffee.” white people also like to go to coffee shops to pick up on other white people who drink coffee. obviously drinking coffee in a coffee shop while simultaneously engaging in intellectual activities such as reading or using a laptop signifies a certain level of intelligence attractive to other white people.

then enjoy.

same thing with the british and tea…
more people in the western hemisphere associate the first
instantaneous perception of “tea” with the british
than the eastern hemisphere – the historical ignorance of it all
yet somewhat amusing.

White people like witty blogs and the witty bloggers who blog. Clever bloggers are so cool. Like this one, for example. He is so cool. He is above-it-all. He is insouciant. He is aloof. His eyebrows become supercilious statements ten times a day. He is post-grad-school, pomo, stoner-clever as all get out. He probably can text funny quips faster than anyone. I’ll bet he has a rad facebook page. It’s hard to not like a guy like that. Some people have it all, I guess.

I worked for Starbucks for five years. Even though I’ve been drinking coffee since I was about 12, I had not set foot into a Starbucks until I went in for my interview. Getting an endless supply of free coffee was pretty sweet, though.

I think a lot of people are missing the point that it’s not just coffee that white people love. It’s the coffee ordering process and all the specialty coffees that are available as well.

Someone made the comment that most Brazilians drink coffee, but in Brazil, they generally drink it in only a few different variations. Someone else made the point that Duncan Donuts is more expensive than Starbucks…but the catch is that DD does not offer the variety with all the fancy (translated: foreign) words/names.

White people friggin love coffee, man! LOL. Most of my co-workers (white people) cannot function until they have coffee. As a matter of fact, most of them brew a pot before leaving the house, pick up a cup from a coffeehouse while on the way in to work, then have a cup of the office crap before finally settling in to do any work.

I am as WASP as it gets yet I hate coffee, all forms and flavors of coffee. I hate coffee ice cream, coffee jelly bellies, coffee anything. While I semi-enjoy the smell of fresh coffee I loath and shudder to drink it. I’d much rather down 20 ounces of ice cold Mountain Dew at 9 AM then go through the OCD routine of the perfect cup of Joe.

I find it odd that people fill up the coffee full of cream, sugar, milk, chocolate, crack, heroin, or even the worst… coffee flavorings… just to make it ‘theirs’. People are Starbucks lemmings.

If Jim Jones had run out of Kool-aid he’d have used tall skinny mocha fraps instead.

What’s wrong with non-whites making some humorous observations about white culture? Haven’t whites been making observations about non-white culture that they don’t understand for YEARS? Better yet, for centuries?

They also love watching the news – the 5 o’clock one and the 10 o’clock one. And they watch Entertainment Tonight and things like that. and they watch movies with Morgan Freeman in it. (which shouldn’t be hard considering he’s in every damn movie). they are obsessed with knowing what the weather is going to be. and talk about it. they buy SUV’s — the men making sure it has 4 wheel drive. the men also get pissed when you leave the lights on, or leave the TV on. they get mad when you leave the door unlocked. they get mad if you leave glasses on tables. They get sweaters for their dogs. their favorite food is almost always “chinese”. every friday (or some other designated day) they always eat out. they take pride in their lawn. they do everything Hank Hill does. And they watch king of the hill. they take their cameras to any special occasion — xmas party, a trip, graduation…and after they take the pictures they stuff them in some closet somewhere and never really look at them until maybe a few years later.

What is FAIR TRADE coffee? I feel so inferior!
on March 19, 2008 at 6:46 am Really White

If you want to be really, really white, only drink coffee made in a Clover machine. It’s amazing and really maximizes those quality fair trade beans. Totally worth the extra $5 / cup… This machine, found at only the finest coffee shops makes the best beans in the world into the best coffee in the world.

The person who said ordering coffee is more hip than drinking it is definitely true. See how they light up when they get to tell a friend to get their order, and how many points they rack up when the drink is IMPOSSIBLE to remember.

Then they get to go back and correct it =)

But don’t forget, since you’re on your multicultural kick, that having a multicultural coffee is even more important. If you can serve imported Ethiopian coffee at your dinner party, or organic Vietnamese, your way cooler than your Starbucks friends.

On Saturday and Sundays I walk my dog and Asian girlfriend past the Starbucks two blocks from my house, about a mile away to the more obscure but still a chain Pete’s. I do this first because they make a much stronger Soy Latte and their raspberry scone is the most delicious food in the history of earth, but also because Pete’s is a little more obscure and the walk is good for us. A nice place to go through the Sunday ads too.

You have to get the Nespresso Aeroccino frother. It makes the BEST foam ever, is completely silent, easy to clean, it looks very chic. It is a little pricey, but it is from Switzerland, so it is so worth it.

You too can roast your own coffee at home by converting a West Bend Poppery II (Hot Air Popcorn Popper). Google “popcorn popper coffee roaster” for your own instructions!

I ask why? And where do you buy green coffee so you can roast your own anyway? And, it will never taste as good as the cup of joe at Dunkins.

I LOOOOOOVE coffee and I am half white- but I can’t drink it in the morning because it makes my stomach hurt 😦

I also happen to LOVE Starbucks (tall redyeye)….its not b/c its expensive its just the best readily available coffee. Try going into a diner or bodega or even Dunkin Donuts….its like piss water.

Other than that this site is hilarious. I know so many white people like this. I think it should actually be called Stuff Liberal White People Like though…or Stuff Rich White Liberals Like.

Samuel Elliot Morrison, one of the greatest military historians, wrote that the first thing the Navy did in WWII was to secure shipping lanes from Central America to the US Gulf Coast and US East Coast.

He asked admirals, “Why this strategy?”, as opposed to securing the North Atlantic first.

The reply was, “… to secure coffee. It was not known if the Navy could win a war without coffee, it had never been tried.”

As a kid I grew up on the thick chiccory coffee’s in Baton Rouge. Misery loves company, so I got my wife hooked. She was already half way there. She liked the smell of coffee in the morning. I loved the smell of Napalm in the morning… (bad joke) That says I’m older than most of you.

As a card-carrying ‘white man’ I’m almost never caught without a cup of coffee in my hand. This was pointed out in the extreme at 4pm one day as I arrived at a middle school to stand-by for soccer practice as an EMT in an ambulance. I pulled up to the athletic director, (another white man) who saw that I had a fresh cup of coffee in my hand. He pointed out that he had never seen me arrive without a fresh cup of coffee and asked if that was part of being an EMT. I raised my cup in a ‘salute’ and said ‘Sure is!’ Now, thanks to the information on this site, I know it’s also part of being a White Man!

The whitest Dane, Per V. made a tribute to (black) coffee a couple of years ago.

It’s called Black Power and is on YouTube here:

It’s in Danish so it wont make much sense to most of you but it is a bit funny with lines like:

“Latte and au lait is not groovy – But I take the black one a move me”

“It has to be black – cream and sugar is sel out”

“I’m a white guy trapped in a white mans body, but i got a black soul so pour it up”

On the rare occasion when I do go to $tarbucks, it’s fun to order “a large coffee”. The snooty people behind the counter always get this condescending look on their face and say something like, “we don’t just sell COFFEE and we don’t have small, medium or large”.

Do you folks realize that when a white person posts something on this site that RIPS whites, they look like dumbasses for trying to be TOO politically correct- it kinda proves the point of this site! Also, bashing on whitey is as cliche as whitey being trendy.
on March 24, 2008 at 9:23 am Noelle

You don’t have to go through the ‘cigarette’ phase of drinking bitter coffee until you like it if you grew up during the Starbucks boom. Their lattes are so much like desert that you can bypass that phase & then when you are older and have grown accustomed to the ‘coffee’ part of the ‘latte’, you can switch to straight coffee easily.

I always liked regular coffee though. I started drinking it when I was 14 and drank so much I had to quit cold turkey when I was 20 because I felt too addicted to stand it. But now I’m back to a cup a day (at least not 3-4 like before)… but coffee is really tasty.

Anyhoo, if you have stomach problems as a result of coffee I’ve realized Folgers flavored coffees are a killer & Dunkin Donuts is pretty smooth on the stomach. Also, the bolder the coffee, the longer it’s been roasted, the less acid in the cup individually (so a barista told me, and I’m not sure how right she was but it seems to be true from experience)
on March 24, 2008 at 10:17 am JR

I’m white, and you’ve made me realize that pretty much ALL the things that I’ve felt adequate about over the years (don’t snowboard or do yoga, don’t drink wine or coffee, don’t go to plays, don’t enjoy 80s nights (SO TRUE), don’t own a bike, don’t listen to public radio, etc.) are really just white things and I don’t fit the mold! Wow… I should have a talk with my dead mother. I mean, I must be black or brown or toffee or tan or green or blue or anything but WHITE.

Or did I hear this somewhere else?

on March 24, 2008 at 11:31 am John

Another example of whiteness is the irksome refusal to use the personal pronoun “he or she.” For example, the author of the coffee article writes:

But I promise you that the first person at your school to drink coffee was a white person. You could kind of tell they didn’t enjoy it, but they did it anyways until they liked it – like cigarettes.

Notice how the author moves from a single individual in the first sentence (ie, the first person at my school), to a plural pronoun in the second (ie, “they”). The author refuses to fall into the sexist trap of saying “he”, even when the context demands a singular pronoun. This is classic example of whiteness in prose.

You obviously have never tried either for more than a puff or a sip. Cigarettes get you REALLY high when you first try them so you keep going until you realize you’ll never get that buzz again, and you’re already hooked. Coffee actually tastes good when you dump crap in it like Starbuck’s, then after you get used to that the black stuff tastes good too.

Hmmm, my wife and I might only be marginally white. We hate Starbucks (and their big corporate ilk), but don’t frequent the corner coffee shops much either. We’re not into the foo-foo grande-extra-mocho-frappochinos, but we do order 100% free-trade organic swiss-water-process decaf, from a progressive alternate coffee supplier, state-side.

And we eschew crass American lingo like “cup o’ joe”… we call our morning brew a “cup of Juan M’beki Castro”.

I start the day with a pot. I have a couple of cups when I get to work. I finish the day with another pot. I feel ‘wired-up’ in the morning, but I can go to sleep at night while drinking a cup.
(I drink coffee like a wino drinks wine. I Live to drink and drink to live.
It’s also pretty good in chili’s & stews. I make a mean BBQ sause with coffee to cut KC’s and a bunch of spices.

on March 25, 2008 at 12:21 pm Elizabeth Gilhuly

Hello readers!

I’d like to make one small correction to the above statement…

No, you do not pay $2 extra and that makes a difference. Fair trade coffee is often equally/competetively priced to your usual Starbucks variety. As a matter of fact, don’t take my word for it. Next time you visit Starbucks, ask for the Cafe Estima blend (fair trade) and see if the price makes a difference to you. Its the allocation of monies paid along the supply chain long before you purchase it from your local coffee shop that makes the difference.

Fair Trade means:
* Fair Price
* Fair Labor Conditions
* Direct Trade
* Democratic & Transparent Organizations
* Community Development
* Environmental Sustainability

And… yes, Fair Trade does make a difference. It’s not the cure all for poverty and it never claimed to be but it is an effort. If any of you have a better idea, please step forward!

“To give a man a fish” = chairty.
“To teach a man to fish” = fair trade.

For once, I actually agree with this silly blog. Coffee has indeed been elevated to a freakin’ cult drink, and indeed, only dumb white people would pay what they do at Starbucks. I, for once, wouldn’t care if all coffee disappeared from the Earth overnight.
on March 25, 2008 at 1:16 pm you don't need to know that

I’m pretty sure a white person writes this blog. Unless it was an Asian or Black person that wrote it, and it bashed white people for enjoying these things, it isn’t racist. This site won’t even flirt with racism unless it starts poking fun at other ethnic groups. You obviously don’t get on the internet much since you think sites can be “taken down” within minutes of their launch just because of their name. The chances are, “stuffblackpeoplelike” already exists in a completely different form. Lighten up, dude (which is something else white people like: calling other men “dude”).

To be fair, the thing white people like most is to pointedly correct somebody who uses the pronoun “he” that it could also be “she.” Second best is making a point of this in your own statements, but nothing compares to catching somebody else improperly properly using the generic ‘he’ as a gender neutral pronoun.

it’s not so much the coffee culture, as the cultural appropriation of the “coffee bar” concept in North America, and the fact that now we encounter f*cked up beverages like super pumpkin flavored double chai latte with soy milk, and furthermore, we buy it TO GO. In my town, the Starbucks is frequented equally by locals of Somali descent, but they drink…brewed, drip coffee. Or the occasional espresso. Like the rest of the world.

That’s just ignorant. Racist?

Are we still laboring under that false ideal that color blindness is color equality, or is it possible to have an honest (even humorous) dialogue about the pronounced caricatures (i.e. stereotypes) of various cultures, religions and even races provided such is done without hate or superiority? If the answer is the former, then I suggest the person above watch the stand-up of a great thinker named Mr. Richard Pryor, and catch up to, say, the 1970s.

Drink good coffee in the AM. We like that organic Sumatra from Borders for junk.

On a train in Southern India in the 60s, when we stopped at a station, vendors would run along the side of the train shouting, “Coppee! Coppee!

“Its ok to make fun of one race as long as its white right?”

Right. Good boy! 😉

It will be necessary to make a lot of fun of white people to get to the level of excess other ethnicities and races are unfortunately used to – and, consequently, to be racist against white people –, because white people, after ages of disrespecting everyone on Earth who was different, take great advance. And white people are still living of the profits of that… and hope to live a lot more… and I don’t mean money. I mean social integration; growing up where good schools are and your grandparents were born; being natural of organized countries, with security, health; not having to leave your country to have dead end jobs cleaning white people’s houses etcetera etcetera… all that was built up on richness that once belonged to other people and white people took in some moment of their glorious national histories. Plus – by doing so, white people made it impossible for other people to develop and organize naturally in their own time and territories. This is not yesterday, it still is.

Now, some people thought that at the slightest appearance of some regret by half a dozen white people, the rest of them could live happily ever after and not bother about anything anymore. Do they really believe centuries of exploration could be solved during the (oh, so white) love-and-peace-five-year-fashion in the 60s?
Individually no one is guilty of things done by another person: but communities have responsibilities, countries have responsibilities – is nothing but truthful to expect white people to volunteer and individually take a share of their heavy heritance. Someone must do it and act consistently. It can´t be abstract sorrow for no one to bear. There’s a whole world to change. Not being such a sissy would be a nice simple thing to start with.

I think the point here is that while simply drinking coffee is not necessarily a White attribute in and of itself, referring to a medium coffee as a ‘grande’ surely is (assuming you don’t speak Italian and probably even then). The only thing more White than that is referring to the teenager behind the counter with the dirty apron as a ‘barrista’.

I liked this article (as a joke) until I read all the comments. Way to ruin it! Racial tentions run from people who draw meaning where there was none intended. So what if white people love coffee?

“White people” are so often denied a culture card because of the stereotypes connected with the term. My parents drank a ton of coffee when I grew up, and guess what? I do too now, and that would be the same no matter what color my skin was. The fact that norms are passed down through culture doesn’t mean you can draw conclusions about a group of people.

Side note: The whole paying more to be “green” is a corporate push brought on by the pressure from government and other countries that care more than we do about protecting resources. How that got assigned to white people is a puzzle to me.

Also adding “vanilla” as a flavouring to any kind of coffee or tea variety is extremely white. However, “hazelnut” is becomming more popular as it eludes mildly to European culture especially. Combining “hazelnut” and “vanilla” shows that you are particularly refined and have a complex “palate”.

Also renaming every white person’s favourite colour “chocolate brown” to “coffee”, or calling beige “mocha” and dark brown “espresso” is very trendy in the home decor field. I was the only jew working in a fabirc store run by an old jewish man and we’d always make jokes about the WASPs that would come in. I would deal with these “white” “interior” designers who ironically would come in with a Venti Non Fat Chai Mocha Vanilla Soy Half Caf Dry Latte from Starbucks and tell me that they want to upholster their clients’ “ottoman” or “Setee” in “espresso ultrasuede”. Perhaps they need “Cappucinno coloured” silk for a “roman blind” in the “breakfast nook” or “mud room”.

We’d play along with their game, I’d reduce the price slightly to make them think they are getting a deal and then he’d sell them 3 extra yards they don’t need…take my lunch break and we’d joke about “shiksas” and “the goyim” behind their backs and how much their 12 year old daughters are jealous that they can’t have a Bat Mitzvah party. Oh yeah and we also had a tag team way of makingthem purchase “flawed” fabric…”because a pearl is a flaw after all” and “even Marilyn Monroe had a birthmark”…trust me they love being entertained by Jews they just eat it up like it’s a free comedy show.

At least we can make fun of ourselves and make money at doing it too!

Java Man obviously ‘discovered’ coffee.

Java Man is the name given to fossils discovered in 1891 at Trinil on the banks of the Bengawan Solo River in Indonesia, one of the first known specimens of Homo erectus. Its discoverer, Eugène Dubois, gave it the scientific name Pithecanthropus erectus, a name derived from Greek and Latin roots meaning upright ape-man.

So, coffe was ‘discovered’ by ape-men in Indonesia.

I am white and I started drinking coffee in first grade because it was what we had for breakfast along with toast! I don’t like Starbucks, and I get totally confused when I order a cup of coffee, and then have to answer a litany of questions about size, blend, flavors, cream etc., etc., etc. It’s even worse when I go to a restaurant and ask for a cup of tea! Why can’t people who work in these places understand that if I just say coffee or tea, that’s exactly what I mean. And who decided that a soy product should be called “milk” anyway? I do admit I buy Fair trade and organic products whenever I can because I am now at a place in my life I can afford to spend an extra $2/pound, and besides which, Why shouldn’t I do something harmless that makes me feel better??

Diet Coke may be white. But here is something whiter: Coke made with real sugar, not corn syrup, imported from Mexico (supposedly organic). There is an organic, local produce restaurant in the city that serves it.

I have never been there, yet, but I heard from a fellow member of the white race that the Coke is organic too! I bet it is $5 dollars a bottle.

Is all of this white or just elitist/classist? Or are they same thing?

I might be wrong, but I thought soda with corn syrup isn’t available in Mexico or anywhere else, except the US because of subsidies to agri-business.

Wrong. It was the Turks who invented coffee. And theirs is still better than anything you can get here in the US. As a die hard, seventh generation American, it’s hard for me to concede this, but Turkish coffee is superior.
on April 8, 2008 at 6:48 pm ItIsWhatItIs

I think you’re right. In fact, my husband and I were just talking about this at dinner. I don’t think that it’s necessarily bad for us to talk about things like this either. I think we would all be better served if we layed our feelings and thoughts out on the table–honestly, and with an open mind. Racism didn’t go away when black people were allowed to vote and work regular jobs. Many people seem to think that because black people are “allowed” to do the same things (and in the same places) as white people, that everything is okay. But the reality exists that my grandparents got a head start, so to speak becuase they were white. Whereas, a black girl my age (28) may have a family who is years behind, socially, economically, etc., becuase while my granfather was working to build a life for future generations, her (black) grandfather didn’t have that opportunity. We fail to realize those things sometimes.

Racism will eventually become less and less of a problem, as cultures evolve. But to ensure that there is no relapse of the past, we absolutely cannot ignore the fact that it exists. Deep down, whether they choose to admit it or not, everyone knows it does. We should speak openly about it, intentionally crossing racial borders to get inside the minds and hearts of one another so that we gain a respect and understanding of what causes racial lines.

It would do each of us some good to stop taking offense to comments and start trying to understand why those comments are made, what causes them, etc.

While I’m not sure buzmav is right in that making fun of white people to level the playing field, so to speak, is the right approach, the basis for his comment was pretty much dead on.

Yours truly,
The White Girl in her Twenties

Racism will never fade, not until and black kid can go through 3rd grade without learning about abraham lincoln. We all need to realize that black people will always feel like they are owed something by white people, due to the fact that our great great great great great grandfather owned yours.

obviously you’ve never been to puerto rico…been drinking coffee since i was 10 and when you go to someone’s house instead of soda (or pop), they offer coffee no matter what time of day (or night) it is…the only difference is white people go out for coffee (ie, starbucks) while hispanics see coffee as a social, intimate affair and it takes place at the home, not a public place.

As a white person myself, I love the blog. It isn’t even making fun of me, it is making fun of “typical,” “trendy” white people. This blog makes me laugh because it’s true, and because it makes fun of the type of people I’m not friends with.

I do knot know about any ethnicity that shine above any other one. In Chinese, Arabic/Muslim, african or Inca’s cultures all nations killed, raped, sold to slavery and commited genocide of their own and other cultures and often they still do.
American Indians killed each other with unbelievable cruelty, committed genocide and took each other’s land . We all descendants of savages.

As for whining about “growing up where good schools are and your grandparents were born; being natural of organized countries, with security, health; not having to leave your country to have dead end jobs cleaning white people’s houses etcetera etcetera” – that’s EXACTLY what everyone experienced arriving to America – Irish, Jews, Chinese, and many others came through all these and own NOTHING to less succesfull citisens.

…all that was built up on richness that once belonged to other people … really???? Do you want to weight what exactly white people took from other people and what did they give them?

…but communities have responsibilities, … is nothing but truthful to expect white people to volunteer and individually take a share of their heavy heritance …
I never heard black community apology for burning and destroying american cities 40 years ago or mass pogroms of Koreans and their buisnesses in California ten years ago.

I hail from New Hampshire, a bastion of New England whiteness, and have shared many of the experiences mentioned in these posts. I have recently come to love coffee, after religiously declining what must be wading pools of the stuff for over twenty years, and am not too picky about who I buy it from, as long as it tastes good. On another topic that was touched on earlier in the thread… for all you soccer bashers out there, I would think twice before disparaging the “beautiful game” as the level of conditioning required to excel at this sport is beyond the scope of many NFL players who would be left on the pitch sucking wind. I have cultivated a respect and love for the game of soccer even though I have only played it sparingly myself, and now follow my kids around New England for their travel team games. They have a blast and my knowledge of the game has grown exponentially. I guess the point of this long winded post is that you need to be true to yourself in terms of what you find personally compelling and avoid the false posturing that is common to youth, particularly white youth. I will admit though, that it does make for a fun read as we white folks have tried to “out cool” one another on many different levels. Flame on.

I agree. I love them too. I laugh at them knowing some of them true. Many comedians also makes jokes about their races, and I laugh at it because I know it’s true. For example, I remember I was watching a comedy stand-up talking about the difference between white people and black people. It was aying how most white people would be like “I hope no one takes my seat at the theater” while a black person would be like “I wish someone would try to take my seat.” It was just so hilarious to me because I knew it was true, and especially since I said something similar the day before about someone stealing my food. I think we just all need to lighten up and laugh about ourselves.

I dont think coffee is a white thing (although I do agree that it’s white people who say “You dont want to see me without my coffee!” and calling it joe, etc).
I think it’s a white thing to order “coffee”, i.e. de-caf no foam soy sugar-free hazelnut latte, extra hot, all that crap.
Also, I think white people tend to see coffee as a medium to wake up, as opposed to something you enjoy. My friend is Indian and she says that people at her work look at her crazy if she drinks coffee at 3pm. I drink it at 10 at night.
on April 30, 2008 at 11:53 am Joachim

Coffee comes from Ethiopia and was cultivated by the muslim Arabs to substitute the prohibited alcohol. Of course this didn’t stop the Europeans from using it too, even coming up with “Irish Coffee”. Meaning the most marvelous concoction of mixing alcohol and caffeine. Uppers and downers together and let that white body fight it out internally.

Here in HAwaii the Japanese cultivated our Kona coffee to its high standards. Originally sold it to the whalers in the 19th century to cure the scurvies/vitamin deficiency on the ships.

My mixed race daughter drinks it since she is 7 years old. Guess I have to vote against that coffee is purely a white people thing.

Here’s a clue: Race is a cultural construct, not a biological one. If a Brit thinks the Irish are a different race, they are. Are the Japanese, the Chinese, and the Koreans the “same race”? Try asking a Japanese, Chinese, or Korean person, vs. an America person. You’ll almost certainly get different answers.

Firstly…best blog EVER! Whites do love their coffee, but even more specifically Starbucks. They like the status symbol of walking around with the cup and silently letting everybody around them know they can afford Starbucks. Also, they like the Jazz music at most stores. Whites love jazz. It echoes culture and the melodies stir the feeling of ease, calm and happiness in White people.

im white and i think this whole thing was extremely funny in a sad way because most of its true.
on May 14, 2008 at 12:21 pm thatguy

thats what Im talkin about. Im an educated nonwhite and you wouldnt believe how often people patronize me for being successful just because I’m not white. As if they were saying “Hey! good job your not a failure like all the rest of those nonwhites.”
Telling somebody nonwhite good job for something that you wouldn’s say to another white person, is insulting. for example “your so well spoken.” is a complete insult to me. What you think I dont speak english, just because im not white. you know what, lots of people that speak slang CHOOSE to speak in that manner its not a lack of ability.

Actually I think it helps to be from the cultural group being mocked. It is just more fun to mock your own. This site is funny because it is so accurate and detailed. I’d have examples from my past for about 95% of the assertions made.

My son goes to school with bunch of expat Columbians and Venuzleans and he finds they have funny little quirks, but he can’t really pin down the details on how it all goes together and can’t mock them. He can do rich white teenagers without much trouble. My wife is from Japan so she mocks Japanese-people-things with great amusement.
People in Japan mock Japanese stuff all the time. I mock white-people stuff with a friend of mine.

Its not racist its cultural-stereo typing that is funny. Europeans do this really well with each other.

No, Josh, ‘Mick’ is (offensive) English slang for Irish.

To us ‘Sasenachs’ (Gaelic slang for Saxons= English) the Scots are ‘Jocks’.

Mick has nothing to do with the Gaelic patronymic Mc or Mac (which you’ll find in Irish and Manx surnames not just Scottish). It comes from the first name Michael, abbreviated to Mick.

I’m good at basketball, I b-boy regularly and have rhythm and hated the idea of something like coffee defining my inheritance into a culture, when other cultures have such passionate arts and music and dance. I found this homogeneous example of what white people are insufficient. I dislike the current conceptions of ‘whiteness’ because white people are a diverse group internally and all creating a page about ‘white people’ liking coffee and dinner parties is going to do is plunge white people deeper into their bland stereotype. I went out of my way to learn many Asian languages / Accents so I would not insult them by grouping them. We are more heavily grouped as white people. because we are most separated in colonial countries and most represented in colonial countries. Development of culture in a multicultural zone will not give any of the one group specificities. Especially the majority whom can’t claim anything grand to their name in case of stamping on minorities or claiming superiority over them.
I don’t know whats good for poor people (I’m pretty broke myself), don’t like coffee, don’t have gay friends don’t care if I have some, I’m just disliking an underdeveloped non-culture representing me, bring something new to the table.
on May 16, 2008 at 4:23 pm Dillon

Why are you so fascinated with white culture/language? being a non-white. Why are you so surprised that people who are not white are stereotyped less knowledgeable of white language and white culture? You would stereotype a white person to be unable to speak Zulu or Xhosa for example, and they could find it just as insulting when someone says “you’re so well spoken” for that language. It seems you’re thinking only in terms of your own misrepresentations as a non-white-being-white.

I disagree with some of what buzmav wrote.

“because white people, after ages of disrespecting everyone on Earth”

Many white cultures did not take part in slavery or colonialism. This is a terrible stereotype to put onto all white peoples shoulders. My ancestors were never involved in slavery but I am this Caucasian misplaced migrant we call ‘white’.

“Plus – by doing so, white people made it impossible for other people to develop and organize naturally in their own time and territories”

All underdevelopment world wide is at the blame of white people?! that also depends on your definition of ‘developed’

China’s economy is developing faster than any other nation in the world currently, do white people not have as strong a grip on them as under developed countries and 3rd world countries white people are sending aid to? You can place angst on ‘whiteness’, but not on its people in general.
on May 16, 2008 at 5:54 pm Dillon

Actually, a lot of white people are very ‘explored’ and look outside of their own culture heavily from my experience. they travel abroad constantly and love to take part in other cultural experiences, foods, language etc. Just look at which cultures performed studies of other cultures predominantly. I find a lot of non-whites more close minded.

No one argued that white people found coffee and own the rights to drinking coffee. Its a silly representation of what white people like. Not to say others don’t enjoy it as well, lighten up!

ok i totally agree with the soy milk thing… and rice milk
It is not milk unless it comes from a mammal
And, everyone knows it really does taste like crap.
Even my very-non-white husband who’s an islander agrees.

If a person has to acquire a taste for cigarettes and coffee, then I’m thinking the same could be said for non-milk-milk-products …

Coke and glue are both white … is this a coincidence??

And, I personally know a group of people who have helped Ethiopians develop their own farm to export corporations and they are finally done with being monetarily raped by the middlemen, so whatever your color, it’s worth the little extra — what else are us white people really doing except talking about changing things.

Drink up mateys.

It should also be noted that white people will kill for anything with an italian name. You can call a regular coffee a “grande americano” and mark up the price $3. (see Starbucks). Also if it’s a machiatto the white people will flock to your store. This is because it helps them feel like they are being “diverse”. The best way to use this to your advantage is to ask a white person their favourite drink at starbucks. Once they have told you ask them how they came to like it. It will more often then not involve them traveling to europe and having an “authentic . At the end of the story you must state your own intentions to tour europe and enjoy authentic beverages. Once you have done this the white person’s respect for you will sky rocket.
If they are advanced white people, they will order biscotti with their grande wet half-caf soy fair trade cafe americano.

I don’t see an issue here. As a busy white professional (is there any other kind?) I would welcome the time saved by getting dinner and a coffee break out of the way at the same time. This is, I think, a good thing.
on July 7, 2008 at 1:25 pm speck

that is so true! I think the main reason white people like coffee so much isn’t because of the coffee; it’s because of the coffee creamers. It can’t be plain creamer though, it has to be a special flavor such as “French Vanilla”, or “Caramel Nut”, or “Warm Pecan”

The problem with the post is that it didn’t mention mug size.

You can’t drink coffee out of one of those tiny 6 oz cups that they assume on a coffee pot. Even 8oz and 12oz cups are too small.

A proper mug for a white person must be no less than 16 oz and the bigger the better. It should have some sort of artsy design or witty/erudite saying. Colors are a definite must and the harder it is to hold and to drink from, the better.

For cups to go, you must not use a word as crass as “large.” Venti and Grandisimo are acceptable, however. It should be paper, not styrofoam, because styrofoam isn’t environmentally friendly. The holder for the cup can be styrofoam, however.

Yes – the coffee CUP itself is very important! Personally, I’m lusting after a coworker’s cup. It is bright RED, and in huge letters, it simply says “READ.” Such a cup shows that the owner is literate and knows what’s important.

A coveted coffee cup for Canadians is the CBC Radio mug. It informs all onlookers that the owner is highly intelligent, educated and discriminating; after all, he/she eshews commercial radio in favour of Public Radio! Furthermore, he/she may have won said mug by calling in to CBC Radio and answering a challenging question on current events! This certainly adds further prestige.

Finally, coffee cups that proudly display the names of universities, (such as my Universitee Laval cup), are good, too, (for the above-mentioned reasons).

Ah, yes… the coffee cup. Reason enough to drink coffee!

I don’t even think it’s really about the coffee anymore. I think white people (and I’m basing this only on myself) care more about the idea of coffee than the coffee itself. As delicious as the MacDonald’s iced coffee may be, the unsightly golden arches cup just isn’t pretentious enough for me to be carrying around.

The coffee shop nearest to my house has managed to combine several of these items from your list. They feature a small live band on certain nights, and offer several board games to be played on their large round tables either inside or outside, or you can borrow one of their books some very thoughtful customers have left behind. You can sign up for their weekly newsletter, and use your store card to rack up a free coffee (purchase 10, get 1 free). The card also allows you to use their “curb-side service” so you can call in your order when you’re in a hurry, and they’ll run it out to your car when you pull into the designated parking spot for this service. Hopefully, you’ll be seen by a neighbor or co-worker who will recognize your dedication for being on-time/ early to work. I will also admit to coveting their t-shirts and coffee canisters, but it’s only got the store name on them, nothing intelligent or artsy, which has kept me from buying them… for now!
on July 10, 2008 at 10:06 am Brian

Just about all commercially roasted coffee is crap. Actually, a bag of coffee from a low-cost pseudo-wholesaler contained a piece of roasted cow crap, which broke the grinder. That’s why I roast my own. Look it up, buy a roaster, buy the green beans, and roast your own coffee. It’s as easy as making popcorn.

North Americans, your “coffee” sucks. It does. It is just plain flat out shit. You might think it’s good. You might think Starbucks is “da bomb”. You might thing Tim Horton’s drinks a really good Cup o Joe, but really truly and seriously, it’s just not. It’s like anaemic brown water with lots of sugar in it.

All right, Fossil Bob, where’s your highest rated coffee? It’s so doggone easy to shred anonymously, but bring something too!

The best coffee I ever had was some brew I drank in February and March. It was coffee I bought directly in Jamaica. JaBlum, Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee – it costs something like $50-75 to import it back here, but I bought a 2 lb. bag for $15. If I’d have known it was so good, I would have bought a heck of a lot more.

Ive come on this to the conclusion that the reason white people like all of the shit on this website is the following:
If you got it like that why not experience more with your life.
Shit I golf, snowboard, rockclimb, mountain bike, live in manhattan, drive a fat asS bmw suv, fuck asian women, have plenty of black friends, got sweaters and motherfuckin t-shirts that I’LL wear on a plane to San FraCisco if I damn well fell like it. Shit Ill Even invite my lawyer to my beach house on a sunday for coffee while we read the fuckin New York Times. Yes the Liberal rag that sweats Barack Obama. After that we will indulge in some microbrews on my vintage sail boat.

When I get Bored ill travel the fuck where I want probably to snowboard somewhere usually Utah the whitest fuckin state there is. Ill take in some wine before I watch a film at sundance while I am there.

Just for a challenge I will go to a farmers market get some organic shit go home and order some sushi. You see I am trying to get in shape to run a fuckin marathon. After I finish the first thing I am going to do is shut of my i-pod loaded with free music, grab some bottled water and spark a fat mother fuckin spliff!!!!

YEAH I LOVE BEING AWARE OF DIVERSITY.

I think the reason why people pay extra is because they think they are getting what they are paying for: high quality stuff in reality thats not always the case.

I so agree with you on the coffee and cigarrettes thing! Why else would somebody start smoking but to “look” and “be” cool? I mean they’re coughing and possibly feeling sick but they do it anyway because everyone else is doing it.

Same with coffee, I assume they get a nasty taste in their mouth and it tastes like butt but they do it anyway so they can start hanging out in cafes, drinking it in the mornings so they can start saying things like “I just woke up, I need a cup of coffee” or… “You just called me while I was making my morning coffee”.. Possibly they might do it when somebody else asks them coffee they can be “How do you like it? I like mine ……” Who knows but some people have always loved coffee lol but your right some people try to get accustomed to the taste and then love it

I’m sure youve already added the post of pizza and cheeseburgers? Because that so needs to be on here lol
on July 18, 2008 at 4:57 pm Anastasia

I agree with bob_fossil. The coffee in Germany and Austria far outmatches anything you can get in the US. It’s so much better you don’t need to put cream, milk, sugar, or anything else into it to kill the taste. In England and Ireland they put lots of milk and sugar in their coffee, which, in my opinion, makes it undrinkable. Maybe that’s why they prefer tea. I’m assuming the Scots drink tea, too. I never went there, so I don’t know. And no, I am not your typical yuppie liberal white person who can afford all that travel. I actually had a full-time job in Germany some years ago before the fall of the Berlin Wall. Even low-level boarding house coffee was better than anything I could get in the US.

So true! I’m a (really white 🙂 norwegian who used to *hate* coffee. Norwegian coffee is very similar to that of North America. I lived five years in Canada in the 90s and still hated coffee. Then, I went on vacation to Italy. I stayed in a cute B&B in Tuscany operated by this cute old lady. Breakfast was basically fresh (Bialetti) coffee with warm milk. Wow! It tasted fantastic! Now I cannot function without my shot of Bialetti (using ITALIAN coffee, of course)in the morning :). Unfortunately, north-american coffee still tastes rather bad to me (it’s like some sour, brown watery stuff).
on July 24, 2008 at 11:52 am manofgod

i love coffee, and the fair trade stuff is awesome, i like paying more for it, not because it is making a difference in the world “cause it is not”. for the better taste and it doesnt give me diahrea when i drink it black like timmies. if i could get out to the big stop every morning i would cause that has the very best coffee in the world, and i have tasted coffee from all around the world; Ethiopia has the very best i have ever had even sneaked a couple Kg across on the flight.
back to the topic at hand coffee is the greatest thing white people have stolen from other cultures and i am proud of it!

your very right there Ashley, people do pay more thinking they’re getting quality when that is not all ways the case, and that’s true for many different things too.
i guess that’s why there is so many jobs in advertising.
but c’mon smoking to be cool, its just mimicry for the most part. it’s easy to pass traits on to kids. damn hard not too.
drinking coffee so you can hang out in cafes, that’s laughable. you drink it so you can stay on your feet.
mostly.
and it tastes good.
mostly.

Acctually Chileans (south america) are the first to drink coffee. Since I was a little kid my grandpa would serve me cafe con leche that’s coffee with warm milk and sugar, while white kids aren’t allowed to drink coffee till they are “old enough”. 😉 Your point on stuff white people like seems to me to be more a what a urban young hipster likes, ah um yuppie maybe also, left oriented middle class youth.

Soon enough, I was hanging out at the backdoor of the local coffee shop…I think the name of it was… THE LOCAL COFFEE SHOP…Anyway, I would bum all the empty bags to make me a cup or…12.

Shortly after that, I DISCOVERED that if I walked around to the FRONT door…and actually entered the joint…they’d SELL it to me…COOOOOOL!!!!!

Coffee is the biggest time waster white man invented! Everything must stop for coffee in the morning, coffee break at work, the second cup at lunch, afternoon coffee break, coffee after dinner… All day long coffee, coffee coffee!
Also the biggest thing coffee drinkers gripe about is the cooffee. After that forst sip, they complain it is too strong, too weak, too bitter, too hot, too cold.. then they continue to drink it and have a second cup!

I love coffee and I don’t care who knows it….

I started drinking it when I was 15 for the caffeine rush; and lest you think I became a coffee snob overnight; I drank instant Folgers with powered creamer and to make it drinkable I’d add a package of instant cocoa. (Nope, didn’t know anything about mochas back then–I just wanted to be able to drink it. Instant coffee is vile stuff.)

Over the years I HAVE developed a real love for it and yes, my day doesn’t start without it.

No. 1 should be “Hate on other White People” because white people love to show the world that they know how racist white people are but aren’t racist themselves. These white people do white people stuff but look around at the other white people doing the same stuff and think about how much white people suck. They think “Man white people suck but I don’t because I know they suck therefore I can’t suck because I’m aware of the suckiness of white people.” They rip on white people listening to white music and being lame and wearing the same clothes but would bite their tongues if they saw strong similarities among concertgoers at a Mos Def or Nelly or 50 Cent show. Then they start lame ass blogs and waste time typing meaningless shit about the Lame Ass White People, thinking all the time how insightful we must be to put such self-examination on display for all to see. Those fucking white people. Even when they know they suffer from irrational guilt they still behave irrationally.

Most of the stuff here is true. I’m a hispanic living in Houston but whenever I go into a Starbucks I feel so out of place like I was just teleported to Ohio or Massachussetts and most white people usually order something along the lines of a grande caramel latte with a vitamin boost and a shot of wheat grass juice. If you’re gonna go to a coffee house, order a hot coffee white people, not to be mean or racist but if I go to a coffee house I go because I want a friggin’ coffee, not a tea or a coffee with boosts of this or shots of that. The caffeine should be more than enough for you. I can’t hate on the caramel frappachino though. That is a good drink

on August 4, 2008 at 4:55 pm Garey Jonson

Regarding Mr. Adrian’s inspiring comments, and having just discovered this site and “What God Hates” – actually funnier than this site – I must share the following with you.

Being a former teacher and school administrator turned Truck Driver – long haul – and having just got back from a flat-deck haul to not so friendly Houston Texas, I was just at a Starbucks and to my surprise, the friendliest, most curteous people were without exception anyone I met who was Hispanic……

So many White People were either unfriendly/downright rude or terrified of my well behaved dog that accompanied me on my 36 day long trek throughout your Excited States of Amurica.

At Starbucks and so many other places, in unfriendly Houston, if it wasn’t for polite Hispanics making up for rude Whitey’s then the rejection and fear of my dog would have been intolerable.

At one Starbuck’s table, seven White Boys looked at me and my dog, as we slowly approached to ask directions, only to be strongly told, ” We are not comfortable with your dog being off its leash”

And with impecable smug White Man humour I said something like…..” The odds of me biting you are far more liklely”……my charm won him over……..

From a White Canajun…..” Hooray for Hispanics”……they appear to be bringing White Amurica some good manners.

PS. Good thing Starbucks is going down the dumpster…..most of their coffee is too strong, pretentious and over-priced……mellow is magnificent

PPS. Trashing such a White Corporation as Starbuck’s is just one of those White “Feel Good” activities.

I disagree. I go to a coffee house to get the fancy drinks. Otherwise I can drink black coffee at home. That’s what these specialty stores are for. Welcome to America.

Black Gold, Java, whatever. I drank coffee at 12 and never looked back. I was hooked. I guess you could say ‘literally’.
Now I get the dreaded “caffeine headache” if I don’t get a cup in the morning.

FYI,
not ALL whites cater to overrated coffee house chains.
I would sooner burn down a starbucks then be caught dead in one.

And I never drink Joe, Java, Black Gold or any other ignorant nickname attached to the beverage by marketing teams.
I drink Coffee, and I drink it black.

On the subject of nice hispanics–as a hispanic born elsewhere and raised here since I was 14–I have an observation to make.
First-Gen Hispanics (raised at least for their formative years in another country) will grow up to be significantly nicer and much more respectful than their “Americanized”–hate the term–counterparts. Kids, teens, and young adults raised here seem to have caught on to that whole “I’m the greatest thing since sliced bread and it should be a PRIVILEGE for you to do things for me” that I’ve observed absent from freshly arrived, baddly dressed (a lifetime of school uniforms did that to me) and more amiable hispanics.
“Americanized” (again hate the term) hispanics tick me off. I wonder how they got that way… must be all that coffee…
Hope I didn’t offend all the Hispanics like me who visit this site. Sorry, you two.

It seems white people of today are self loathing and want to self desruct. White people act so smart and knowledgeable yet they fail to realize that they are not the first or only group of people to ever enslave another group or conquer other lands although whites did take it to an unpresidented level.

You know what, I love this blog. I see my(white)self in lots of this stuff, but seems like some stuff is hit or miss and maybe ‘stuff white people’ is a misnomer. I work at an company that is extremely diverse and what I’ve noticed is that the Coffee, Prius, Apple-loving crowd has no race. Preteniousness is universal, at least in So Cal. Thesis: Mainstream/predominant culture is really whats on trial, but the thinking seems to be this:

White people are the majority i.e. Mainstream,
Mainstream folly is easily mocked,
Therefore, White people are easy to mock.

Oh, another thing, clich’e or not, Indie is seriously awesome. always with love.

Where I come from, you’ll never be fully accepted if you don’t drink coffee at work. It’s almost like a ritual, to have coffee breaks. You will always be a bit suspect if vou just say no thank you. If you don’t like, or can’t drink coffe for other reasons, you must tell that you’re recommended not to drink coffe, by your doctor. Anyway you must make clear that you must deprive yourself from coffee for some reason, temporarly.
It’s a bit like beeing an alcoholic, its okey to say no thanks to liquor if you have a reason…you’re pregnant, you’re on medication or something else that is untuchable. You don’t want to admit the real reason. To not like coffee is not okey.

“I’m a proud racist, homophobic southern U.S. White woman and I don’t see myself in any of this, except for the coffee, threatening to move to canada and not having a tv.”… hmmmm, where do I start?

1. Although this statement is an oxymoron, you probably don’t understand any part of the word except for MORON!
2. You moving to Canada doesn’t solve anything… it’s like moving crap from one side of the toilet to the other. You’re a fungus that could use a Lysol diet.
3. Living in Michigan, I happen to love my Candadian brethern and gasp at the thought of our white trash floating across the border like the sewage you represent.
4. Isn’t the KKK missing one of their “proud” posterchildren?
5. “Yuppie-!!$#@#” – even in quotes I can’t bring myself to be as blatantly ignorant as yourself. That’s like tossing around the dreaded “N-word”. In this case -> I sincerely hope you have a son who falls hopelessly in love with a wonderful African American MAN!!!

No you are the minority. Seeing as how you are from the South where most White people make fun of. Racist, which most white people know they are but still accept other cultures and Non-Homophobic. Go to a state that has a highly educated population, Washington, California, Virginia, Rhode Island, Michigan, a state that actually matters. Coming from the founders of two of the largest coffee companies I agree with this completely. We drink it when we don’t like it and when we do love it we cannot stop talking about it. Most of these things white people like are anything we can talk about and act superior or more sophisticated. Hell, I only have 4 goals in my life, be rich, famous, own a country and kill most of the Republicans in the US. Hell that’s another thing we love to debate about, politics, we can’t get enough of it.

While teaching computer programming to 3rd graders in Queens, I discovered that my students drank cafe con leche (coffee and milk) every morning. I asked around, and many of my friends from Latin America said they had begun drinking coffee during childhood. Also, Latinos/as are often cafeteros. Cafetero doesn’t have a direct English translation, it means “coffee lover/drinker.” So, chances are, if you have a white person hanging with a Latino/a they probably have coffee drinking in common. In my experience, Latinos/as will appreciate coffee drinking (the smell, varieties), if not partake in coffee consumption.

I just figured out the genius of your site and book. Stuff White People Like acts like its geared towards people who are non-white. White people love this. In your very own entries, you supply evidence that the things white people like can largely be denoted by their non-mainstream, “non-white” characteristics: just see your entries for why white people love film festivals, hip hop references, soccer, etc.; it is all filled with stuff that is so hipster, ideas that are not too underground but not too mainstream. This fact and all the subtle complexities and paradoxes that come with it delight white people: they are “getting a peek” at what other races think of them (haha!), and then, when they mention this site to their white friends, they can pretend to be very learned, and so in tune with race relations, that they are able to take shots at themselves in such a manner. A vast majority of visitors to your site are white. Just read the forum posts! They’re all white. Your kind of comedy is geared towards, tailor-made, actually, for white people. Furthermore, Stuff White People Like is about stuff white people like, and people will inherently read about what they like; and, considering that most of the people to whom this information is realistically available are white, stuffwhitepeoplelike.com and its literary companion are bound to be popular. I assume that Stuff White People Like (book and site) will actually be the very last entry of your website, and that thereafter, the site and book will have become obsolete. You’ve figured it out.

They serve an over priced product, you consistantly support a company that has wiped out many independent coffee shops because of their greed. You take away all the flash and presentation SN is just another McDonald Cheese burger. They treat their people who work for them like crap. Lets keep the shareholders happy and mr Schultz. It is time to get it real wakup everyone. Starbuck has become diluted and now desperately scrambling to regroup. Being greedy is a bitch. If you like being pimped by a whore. Keep buying from the SB people…They do not support the troops they only support themselves.

The meaning of “opinion”, or say.. “1st amendment” is lost once people use it to mask hatred and stupidity. There is also a very fine line between humor and filth, the ability to distinguish this line is this line is truly understanding humor, a stupid/humerus thing would be something like one giving lessons on humor to a person and then swiftly telling them to kill themselves.

Here in Sweden, all the white people started buying the “ecological” milk at the store. Now you basically only see the ecological stuff, or at least its everywhere — not just at the upscale shops.

Drinking fairtrade coffee or ecological milk in your own kitchen doesn’t get you style points with people. You don’t get a badge with your purchase either, so you can walk down the street and get your well-deserved props for being so aware.

Maybe they should though, so that everyone vapid enough to think they are making the decisive difference by buying fair trade this or ecological that might actually end up making the difference in the end anyway.

Besides, in the context of this website I would consider the definition of white people not to be “of caucasion descent” but to be something more along the lines of, “to be a person of any color under the visible spectrum who fuctions in a tool like/prickish manner; a ‘scarf in the summer’ wearing, sushi eating, one upping, and let us not forget SENSITIVE, sob.” Now, however, thou cannot help it if 99.9% of the steorotypical tool population consists of people of caucasion descent. Would the website, if given any other name, smell as sweet? Or make me laugh so damn hard? Probably not. OBVIOUSLY, “white people” DO NOT like or appreciate a good sense of humor and are are a little too thin skinned to appreciate a good kick in the arse; If you can’t laugh at yourself, then what can you laugh at?

Good one Benson!! I am a white guy, and, think a lot of these readers need to calm down and take this whole blog and website for the humor it is–but keeping in mind, one reason humor is so funny-is-it has that edgy grain of truth that makes you stop in the middle of your laugh and say, hey, is that ME??. Went to hear a choir at an affluent white church-good choir, nice folks and preacher-and the ladies of the church were selling fair trade coffee by the cup and fair trade coffee bags of beans-now that I think about it, was about 2 bucks over folgers price per bag–what a hoot. It is okay to make fun of those things that are sterotypical.

Claire is probably right that, within the context of this site, “white” is a set of behaviors. [Of course, the meta-context of this site is “highbrow white conservatives snickering at middle/high-brow white liberals by playing the race-card and channeling the love-child of BIll Cosby and Christopher Buckley in a bid to carve out their own Zion in which to be Cool.” Brilliant, btw.]

What I have trouble with, though, is the suggestion that race is something you can put on or take off at your whim.

European descent is the dominant cultural base in the West. Sure, Dick and Jane can kick the flava’ if they want to, but they can still crunch numbers for Archer Daniels Midland M-F. But Kashreem and Vanessa need to button it up (down, rather) if they really want a top slot in the corporation someday.

[Rechecking the List for “obscure Apocalypse Now references.” OK, I’m back.]

Conversely, Dick and Jane are free to affect “ethnic white” stylings in moderation — like Mossy Oak(tm) accessories, Charlie Daniels ringtones, needlepointed wind-suits, sour mash whiskey or manifest destiny — without fear of comments like “communications problems” appearing in their 6-month performance reviews.

peace out

There’s nothing conflicting about that though; since it’s probably zero calories, it doesn’t matter how much you drink. It’s the same as drinking water.

I’ve been drinking coffee since I was 8 years old. I was curious every time I saw my parents drinking it. All I knew was that it looked like hot chocolate. Finally one day my mom poured some hot coffee into what was essentially a sippy cup and told me to drink it slowly and carefully lest I burn my tongue. I did as she said, slowly sipping it down at first, but I loved the taste so much that I took off the lid and gulped down the last half of the cup all at once. From then on, I was pretty much hooked. Note, though: this was decaffeinated coffee. I was drinking it purely because I loved the taste. I didn’t start drinking real coffee until I was in my early teens. Also, surprisingly perhaps, I never really cared for sugar or cream in my coffee; even when I was young I drank it plain.
on September 14, 2008 at 4:58 pm Sean

White college students will also tell you that they and their freinds make a super-strong version on normal coffee.
White people will come into work on Monday morning and talk about “Hooking themselves up to a coffee I.V” as though they were the first idiot to think of that…and didn’t you see I was sitting in the office before you got here?

I am white and I HATE coffee. One day, I will nuke every Starbucks on the planet.

This that said, most of this stuff just isn’t true about me, or a lot of other white people I know. Some are (I love Korean women and I am guilty of finding the bangs cut cute), but most aren’t. I dislike hip hop, I don’t have a Facebook account, I won’t vote for Obama (I’m convinced he’ll be the anti-Christ if elected), Apple products are crap, I only remember one article from the Onion, which rarely pops up in any of my conversations, and I stopped watching television a long time ago (can’t stand the commercial breaks). Now, with a couple things, you’re dead on. When I was in Korea (via Army, not to study abroad), I enjoyed being the only white person wherever I was, mainly because I didn’t want to see any of them. I worked with those arsehole soldiers all day, I didn’t want to spend my free time with them too. And sushi, yeah, it’s amazing, but only when you’re in Pacific Asia. That fake crap elsewhere just doesn’t compare.

Hi,
Thank you for (quite possibly) the most hilarious take on this very specialist subject on ‘white’ identity. Would I be able to get your permission to link your website to my Contemporary Studies website? (The site is part of a university project for my postgraduate degree. It aims to explore issues of identity and its construction).

Thanks,
Mia

Disclaimer: I am not a “white person”. I am Asian (okay, 1/4 Spanish, that is if you consider ‘Spanish’ to be ‘white’. But I do not look ‘white’ at all. Re the Spanish comment: I’m just kidding so please Spanish people out there don’t take offence).

It’s not about the coffee. True coffee drinkers take nothing more than cream and sugar. It’s about being seen in Starbucks and thought of as some sort of self-actualizing intellectual sort. You must be either reading the Sunday Times or pretending to write the next great screenplay, gazing at the Mac while texting on your Crackberry, with Bluetooth devices in each ear. When I see these folks multitasking such a plethora of important shit I am so fucking impressed that I simply do not feel worthy to share the same coffee joint with them. I order my black coffee and get the hell out!
on September 23, 2008 at 12:41 am Slightly-WhiteAussie

Starbucks! You’ve got to be joking. No white person in Australia (well, at least no one in the inner suburbs of the capital cities) would be seen dead inside a Starbucks, and he/she would be embarrassed even to be found loitering outside one. In Australia (well, in the inner areas of the capital cities) we have plenty of small cafes run by teenage entrepreneurs who know how to do an expresso or a latte, and these are the sorts of places that whites patronise. We were delighted to learn a few week ago that Starbucks is closing many of its Australian outlets, and we can only hope that this welcome exodus will be followed by Gloria Jeans, McDonalds and Kentucky Fried. Long live sushi!
on September 23, 2008 at 12:56 am Robyn Rawson

Bugger sushi! The best short black in Australian history was made at the University cafe (downstairs) in Lygon street Carlton circa 1980 by a grumpy Italian man, whilst card playing cleaners from the Womens’ hospital spent their lunch hour talking, drinking coffee and picking their teeth. Vive L’Italia!

I just found out that I am the whitest kid alive! I love the daily show, apple products, Wes Anderson and I’m dating an Asian girl. I’m so lame. At least I’m not a big fan of coffee although I have pretended to enjoy it on several occasions. Somebody help me.
on September 23, 2008 at 5:04 pm Brad Thomas

Too True Slightly White.

Coffee in Australia is a religion and not to be influenced by any multinational conglomerate. Our love of coffee cannot be comprimised by our hatred of corporations. Even if they do serve rainforest alliance coffee!
on September 24, 2008 at 4:02 am janet

Please don’t make fun of my e-mail address, my kids
already have cornered the market on that.

The coffee fascination is a lame attempt by Americans to not be lame and drink the watered-down grounds their parents brewed. Starbucks succeeded because the coffee was strong, but not good, they were the first to capitalize on this neurotic exposure of not being really European.

But, since Americans truly do not like strong coffee, they had to sugar it up with soy milk, cream, FLAVORINGS, evaporated/condensed milk stuff out of a container, anything that pretended to be coffee, but your brain still knew was really dessert.

By the way, no ango country can make good coffee. Also, if you really like good coffee, please just make it yourself. It is not hard.

Trying to show that you have an intellect by this sort of debate only displays how little intellect you have. Hatred is the province of those with a weak mind and even weaker character. Give joy people and if you can’t, let those who can do so! There should be a twelve step group for Aholeism!

on October 1, 2008 at 1:31 pm ,

No, if you have any arabs or ethiopians in your school they will have been the first to drink coffee, since the entire social life of visiting has serving and drinking small cups of coffee at the center, so anybody from saudi arabia or ethiopa grew up seeing people visit and sip coffee and will have served the guests by age 10.
You HAVE to drink it even if you don’t like.

If you remember how to punctuate then you should put a full-stop after the ellipsis as it is not followed by a sentence. Quotation marks around ‘here’ would also make the meaning of your sentence clearer.

there should be four. An ellipses is used to denote pause, later continuation, or redaction. If it ends the sentence, it should be followed by another.

Yes coffee owes it’s roots to African and Arabian beginings, but like so many inventions, owes it’s perfection (Espresso, Cappucino, lattes, iced, etc.), its distribution, and refinement (Vienna/Seattle ANyone?) to the pale faced, rythym lacking west…

It is, in fact, true that although we don’t like coffee the first time we drink it, or even the second, third, or fourth times, we continue to drink it until we do like it. It’s kind of pathetic, really. I started trying to drink coffe when I was about ten. I’m finally starting to like it.

I, unfortunately, love coffee. I quit cigarettes, I quit drinking alcohol but can’t seem to kick the coffee habit. I drink a maximum of 5 cups a week so it’s not terrible as I do know people who drink 5 cups a DAY. And I prefer coffee at the deli or diner rather than DD or Starbucks. It just tastes better to me.

Oh, and also, I HATED coffee until about 4 years ago.

I LOOOOOOOOOOVE COFFEE!!!
But I’m also white.
But I also have a Filipino friend who practically inhales the stuff. I didn’t know coffee had such a limited audience if it’s up here on the “stuff white people like” list, but whatever. I don’t really think it should be up here because it’s heavenly and EVERYONE likes it. At least everyone who’s cool.

Sorry coffee, even fair trade coffee, is no longer allowable. It has to be decaf fairtrade with soymilk (see veganism and “natural” medicine.)

You should rename this list “Stuff white Democrats Like”. I don’t like any of this crap. Except Asian girls, but who doesn’t like them?

Almost every black person I work with seems to drink coffee. And no, there aren’t just two or three black people here…

I am happy to see others hate Starbucks, too. I work in NYC and the best coffee is the no-name brand sold off those little carts everywhere on the street. Cheap, too.

Also hate Dunkin Donuts coffee.

Sally, I am going to have to disagree with you hear. Strongly. Although I understand why Nascar is an easy target for this list–we all know that 99.99999% of Nascar fans are, indeed, white–but these are not the kind of “white” people targeted on this site.
There are, of course, many branches on the “white tree” and this website is aimed toward a specific white demographic. For example: Grammar; San Francisco; Barrack Obama; sushi; yoga; Toyota Prius. All of these things are things that Nascar fans dislike, if not loathe. Nascar fans like things like: saying “y’all” and “ain’t”; Lynchburg, VA; Sarah Palin; anything fried in lard; drinking Budweiser; and Ford F150s with rebel flag bumper stickers and shotgun racks.
Come on, Sally. You need to learn how to apply blanket stereotypes to large groups of people if you want to be a bona-fide citizen of this great country of ours.
on October 26, 2008 at 11:19 pm Sarah

I must now do something that no white person ever likes to do. This is one of the worst forms of humiliation. I must correct my own grammar. The above post has an atrocious typo right in the first sentence. Of course, I meant to say, “here.” There is no need to reply with a post about what an idiot I am (although I deserve it after chiding someone for typing “get’s” instead of “gets” not 20 minutes ago). Lesson learned.

In Australia we have coffee places called Cibo, Illy and un cafe bar. all real espresso bars.

I prefer tea. Because it is delicious. Nothing like a mug of genmai-cha on a rainy day~ Hot chocolate/cocoa is also very nice.

But its not enough to just GO to the unique coffee shop. Instead, whenever someone brings up beverages, or even food, they MUST share, at great length, that they go to this WONDERFUL tiny little tucked away coffee shop that “only the locals really know” and that they brew their coffee in an amazingly superior way, and also how they always buy the coffee because its just SOOOO GOOD. “Oh really? You’ve never heard of it? Well, most people haven’t. I’ll give you the address later.” and then conveniently forget to give you the address because then they wouldn’t have bragging rights, now would they?

sorry, I’m pretty sure that that entire think was only like two sentences. rant over…

Don’t forget tea. Tea is generally beloved by white people. There are two distinctly different types of tea: iced and hot. Iced tea is usually sweetened and caters to the tastes of southern white people, or white children.

Hot tea, on the other hand, appeals to white people who enjoy appearing sophisticated. It is also generally seen as a one-up on coffee drinkers, akin to vegans one-upping vegetarians. [For the record, vegetarians are pussies. If they had any balls, they would either eat meat or become vegan.] Drinking hot tea demonstrates to their white peers that they are “internationally minded” and also sophisticated enough to have trained themselves to enjoy something even more disgusting than coffee.

Asian teas are a plus.

Are you serious, some of these observations are hilarious. How can you not recognize them? Spend one day in an American city with more than 100,000 people and just look at the stuff white people own. No doubt you’ll see a Starbucks with a line of white people(with some Asian spouses), a bunch of bro’s in some tricked out toyota off-road suv going to climb for the weekend in patagonia clothes, and at least one guy in clothes that were made in a sweat shop before he was born, trying to go faster than you are driving your prius or subaru, on his fixed gear bike to prove any number of self righteous assertions.

The point of this farce is just that. There is no true “white” culture anymore. We’ve all been pacified into believing we need to admire and accept all cultures and by doing so will make us a better person, whether or not we truly believe what we’re told. This is the rape of our conscience.
All other cultures are given the opportunity and encouraged to grow and promote their facets, while “white” culture is suppressed under the banner of diversity. I don’t know about the rest of you but I can clearly see the assimilation of other cutures and how it has bastardized our own.
Say what you will but our culture is on a downward spiral, and when the next generation takes power it will be lost forever.
on December 23, 2008 at 7:42 pm Raskolnikov

If white people in America have a culture, they celebrate it; Italians, Irish, Russian, Jewish, Czechoslovakian, English. the problem is that America is so diversified that we refuse to see the American culture as OUR culture. I, for one, am part English, Scotch-Irish, Slovenian, and Cherokee, I cannot celebrate all of these cultures because they aren’t mine, i am genetically, but not culturally. Therefore, white people need to learn that the American culture is our culture and everyone else’s that lives in here in addition to their culture. it isn’t decimating, it’s growing and evolving.

So the title should be changed to American white people, because white people in England or in Germany don’t read the Sunday New York Times.

I don’t think there was ever a truly “white” culture. When America was colonized there were natives here and then the Italians, Germans, also the Spanish in Florida. There were so many cultures intermixing I don’t think the “American” was ever truly “white”. There has been diversity to this country since the beginning. I think being truly “white” is a farce.

Ahhhhh, I’m tired and need to wake up . . . I have some black friends that love it as well.

Ahhhhh, the majority that I work with drink coffee (US by the way)

list of top ten coffee consuming countries per capita:

1. Norway
2. Finland
3. Denmark
4. Sweden
5. Netherlands
6. Switzerland
7. Germany
8. Austria
9. Belgium
10. France

that seems pretty damn white to me….

I thought #1 would be money. Anyway. I never knew (American) Whites had culture. I thought Whites and Blacks were in the same culturally devoid boat of always finding themselves, adopting other people’s cultures, and “modifying” them to suit their own lifestyles (wearing Kung-Fu slippers with a cabnana pants? Bindi Art and Hebrew tattoos? So taboo.)

I am white European and hate tea, English tea in particular.
on January 4, 2009 at 9:06 pm cafe owner

I would say yes and no to coffee being something white people like.
Yes, the majority of people that come into the cafe are white people. The types to sit all day and keep ordering stuff while using a laptop are almost all white people.
Even in formerly black neigborhoods with new white people moving in but still unseen, the cafe is like the crumbs left out which make the mice crawl. Sorry, first metaphor which popped into my head, but what I mean is that many neighborhoods have a lot of white people who just come home from work and hide inside or go out again to places other white people go and you don’t really see them in local bussinesses like barber shops and regular bodegas.
Anyway, so yes I do see that there is a particular cafe culture that is mostly white.
However, coffee is so important to so many traditional cultures of non-white peopleI would have to say it is MORE important to them than to white people.
In Saudi Arabia or Kuwait, you are automatically served with coffee as soon as you visit almost anyone. Coffee doesn’t have that same status amongst europeans.
If someone gave you coffee it’s nice, but if they served you juice you would still say”what a niced guy”.
In Saudia Arabia you could serve 15 types of beverages but if there was no coffee at the center of it all as the first thing served and repleneshid constantly they would consider you full of short comings.

I am white, and I simply do not see how one is supposed to enjoy drinking bitterness in liquid form. Perhaps that’s because I’m only half white, the other half is Mexican. It’s all about tea. I do, however, notice that my dad (who is white) drinks coffee almost exclusively when it comes to hot beverages, and my mom (who is mostly Mexican, but was born and grew up in the US) is more open to tea. This nation needs to get over its addiction to coffee, and drink delightful, pure Japanese green tea.

There is No established “american” culture though…
I guess big business and gross purchase could be considered our culture, but that’s not our choice…
the answer is there is NO “american” culture.
you are who you want to be, you believe what you want to believe, you practice those beliefs how you want to; That is “american culture”

Actually, some of the best coffee beans are grown in Africa. For example.. the Kenya blend. I’m white and Kenya is my favorite blend from Starbucks.

on January 15, 2009 at 4:47 pm terangeree

‘yomomma’, I take it you’re connected to the Internet and are able to use Google’s search engine.

If you do, you’ll probably find that although the coffee bean is from Africa, it was first developed into a drink on the Arabian Peninsula (that bit of land where Iraq, Kuwait, Yemen and Saudi Arabia lie).

As far as I’m aware, Arabia is not and never has been a part of the African continent.
on January 15, 2009 at 5:06 pm terangeree

But was it a white goat or a goat of color that discovered coffee? 🙂
on January 15, 2009 at 7:36 pm cafe owner

I would spit out starbucks!

The roast is terrible. They just roast thye shit out of it.

I think if you try some better done roasts you will change your tastes. I used to like Sbucks before I knew bettter.

I use Intelligentsia. Good roasting and constant revolving of beans based on what’s best at any given time.

It’s like not having a set menu at a resteraunt but going with what’s seasonably available to ensure you’re serving what’s best.

See? I get along with white people. I make coffee for them. And they roast the beans for me.

Keep wearing scarves, bringing your Macs and ordering lattes. I don’t mind at all.

Could live without the dogs though. Sometimes the outside of the cafe looks like a kennel.

YUCK!

YUCK!
on January 15, 2009 at 7:42 pm cafe owner

By the way, in Ethiopia they used to mostly eat the berries and cook them in buttter, but drinking it was something special for elders. If you drank coffee as a youth it was seen as pretentious.
But now it’s widespread and there are espresso machines everywhere. Still not like the old clay pot though.
Yemeni coffee beans are great. Fruity, complex. But they are not the best at prepearing it.
The tribes of Northern Arabian Penisnsulae are good at coffee. North Najd, like Hayel, Shammari tribe. Wonderful coffee and attention to purity. Well known people for that, there are even families known for the best coffee for a century, even one family known al al Thalmawi meaning the people who really know coffee and take pleasure in it.
Cofffee isn’t white.
Coffee brings humans together. Everyone adds something to the universal language of coffee.
Noow in Asia the siphon is gettting big.
The Japanese are bringing a lot of exact science to coffee.
Embrace coffee.
Embrace universal communication.
Spend money in cafes everywhere.
Support your local barista, especially minority ones.

Some white people actually prefer tea but tend to suppress their preference for several reasons.

1) Brits drink it — which makes the drinker an imperialist, a snob, or effeminate.

2) Russians drink it — and Russia lost most of its’ recently acquired fun factor after Yeltsin was replaced by Putin.

3) Indians drink it — and like the Brits, they also like cricket. ‘Nuff said.

Sorry if the comment bellow has already been covered. I just discovered this gem of a blog. And I dont feel like read a million comments. Especially since only half are funny comments and the other half are angry minorities that don’t see the joke… or angry whites that don’t “get” the joke either. Blah blah blah…

Starbucks, Second Cup or Coffee Bean?!?! Wow! That is so yuppie 1999! Maybe that is the slight but distinct difference between Cool White Person as Yuppie vs Cool White Person as Hipster. Both groups are covered on the blog. And both are from the same genus but different species.

Yuppie = Starbucks, Second Cup or Coffee Bean

Hipster= Small artisan coffee shop.

And to show off ( Im not even white!) I will even drop some knowledge on a few Hipster Coffee Gems:

Stumptown, Black Water, Satellite, Ritual, Vivace, Cafe Vita, Blue Bottle… too many to name. That list covers Seattle, Tacoma, Portland down to SF.

If ya want to step your game up, stop going to Starbucks. Or if your are there with your white friends, be sure to impress them by dissing the Tamping skill of the barista.
on January 28, 2009 at 12:07 am Jerarde

But only the coolest of these white people drink…

Loose Leaf Tea.

And always from a store that smells like nutmeg and cranberries and has the jars along the wall in the back with the tea in them. Only to be touched by a very Asian looking wooden spoon bought at Pier1 Imports (made by Hondurans). Oh and its really dim in the store, the only light is from candles and a few wrought iron sconces. Oh, and the girl helping you has bangs.
on January 28, 2009 at 10:58 am I like tea...

Loose leaf? Bwahahaha, that’s funny! Only white people think tea served outside a Lipton sack is something unique. I think somewhere in Backwater, China or BootyF***, India, “loose leaf” is the only choice for drinking tea. Those mesh bags cost money.

Love this site. Especially because it inspires the most stupefying of stupid comments from stupid people who just don’t get that all this is pure sarcasm. I mean, I’m not even of Caucasian descent, and some of these things embarrass me (because of the stuff I like). But I’m laughing. At the points and at the comments. Keep it up, White People! It’s brilliant.

on January 28, 2009 at 12:59 pm Jerarde

Great point! But these cool white people are willing to spend the money on loose leaf because they know something the others don’t. But also note that cheap lipton tea sells so well because the “other white people” aka not cool white people don’t care about quality. Its all about mass produced and cheap goods bought at Wall-mart. People in the places you mentioned don’t think loose leaf is a big deal because all natural quality loose leaf tea is not a yuppie trend, but a genuine lifestyle centuries old. And lipton is cheap garbage. Those bags are basically paper towels and the powder inside that is suppose to be tea is the powder left behind the bottom of the canisters of quality tea that was sold to Trader Joe’s to be bought by cool white people. But you’re right, go to one of the places you listed and you’ll find they don’t go ga-ga over some exotic loose leaf tea… because that tea is an everyday thing.

And I think you and I are on similar wave lengths. I am also not white but can relate. Sort of. I think its because growing up in the Bay Area and having white friends from SF, Oakland, and Berkeley you realize how cool, cool white people are. I am almost a shamed to admit that I can sometimes be the token minority hipster. Although I try not to be. But they [whites] are still confused by me… I am from the hood. So they are puzzled that I like Mos Def, Jack Johnson, The Mars Volta… AND also listen to Nelly and Young Jeezy. I like yuppies and hipsters, but make no mistake, I don’t want to be white, Im proud of who I am. I am just as comfortable eating crepes in Berkeley with white people as I am eating chicken wings in East Oakland with thugs and hustlers.

And speaking of cool white people, as a minority I am definitely in a bubble. My white friends are from the Bay Area, Portland, Tacoma, and Seattle. So I let my guard down. But at least once or twice a year my travels bring me to a upper-class conservative suburb or a small poor hick town and after a few conversations with those white people I am reminded: “ Oh Yeah! THIS is why I am suppose to HATE white people!” Leave it to a stop in a red state/county/city to make me hate white people. But it only last a day or two.

Oh yeah, I also enjoy the comments of people that just don’t get it. Sarcasm is lost in this country. I love reading the replies of an uptight whitey or an angry [insert minority]. Although the angry minority makes me cringe more

We are already friends. Excellent choice. I put you on a special status of Super Cool White Person.

Can you teach these other white people that are borderline cool to jump in the water… enough with the Starbucks.

We can go all day with coffee joints. The ones I mentioned are relatively well known amongst the indie shops. Dont get me started on the even smaller obscure coffee places… I’ll put most white hipsters to shame!
on January 28, 2009 at 2:04 pm Jerarde

I also forgot to add that in these stores there is always at least one poster of a non specific ethic man [ is he Malaysian, Indonesian, African?] that is picking tea with a very stoic look on his face. White people like stoic minorities.

Yeah Lipton’s pretty bad stuff.

It’s funny how in the Middle East Lipton will actually sponsor local resteraunts somehow and the whole sign winds up being a huge Red Label or Yellow Label sign.

Every Indian ghetto in the Gulf seems to have a few of these Lipton resteraunts.

“Lipton. #1 Wherever You Go”.

They actually call any teapog a Lipton the way people used to call photocopies Xeroxs.

Teabag before I get ganged up on by the extra anal spell checkers.

I’m sure this one doesn’t pass either becuse I left out the dashes and maybe teabag is tea bag.

Since you are on this blog AND you have Cafe Owner in your name, I already had your entire life played out in my head…

You’re a 34 year old white boy from [insert yuppie town usa here] who worked as a Graphic Designer/Marketing Director/Advertising Director (pick one) after college. You made decent money but not rich. Ya know, Volvo S40 and 3 series BMW money, NOT Volvo S60 and 5 series BMW money. But on a trip to the east coast you stopped into legendary indie coffee shop, Murky’s, in Arlington. There you were in awe of the passion and care put into the place. So on your return home you got depress and took a year off (see post #120). You decided to go to third world coffee growing regions (see post #19). Sometime around your Panama trip you decided you would start a small coffee shop with a fine attention to detail and passion. You furnish the place either modern (see post #79) or vintage (see post #49). And you name it something like “The Yellow Rocket” or “My dog jenny”. Now your life is complete.

And if your place is in the North West it is mandatory that at least one of your baristas has red hair, a scraggly beard(most important!), a tattoo, rides a fixed gear bike (google it if you’re not with me) and thick black rim glasses.

Wow. I hang out with waaaaaay too many white people. I think a trip to my old neighborhood in Oakland is in order. Anyway, but noooo you have to ruin it by proving this wrong. You’re not white?! WTF? You cant own a quality coffee shop then. You at least have the scraggly Portland hipster beard right? Even if your cafe is in NY, the Portland look is a must for cafe owners under 40.

Oh, and I cant afford an iBook. But I know a guy named June Bug in Oakland that can get me… never mind.
on January 28, 2009 at 9:17 pm cafe owner

I’m in the North East of Middle Eastern/Spanish descent and don’t have any white friends. I don’t own a car and the only coffee producing country I’ve ever been to is Yemen.

umm…how’s your milk steaming skills? You want a job?
on January 28, 2009 at 10:18 pm Jerarde

Hey hey buddy, don’t forget Im from the Bay Area… in San Francisco’s Castro district, ask a man about his milk steaming skills will get you a pretty interesting answer! (That was a gay joke, so for those keeping track I’ll be waiting for post #101 to come into play here)

Unfortunately being a coffee snob has yet to increase my steaming and tamping skills. But I’m sure I can do as good as the average Starbucks barista! Haha! But I am definitely a spoon and pour guy… for the life of me when steaming on a pro machine I can not get a full pitcher of smooth, dense, velvety foam to free pour. Mmmmm, velvety foam. Do you use a french press? Perhaps you can pay me to stand there with the timer. 3 minutes is optimal, not the standard 4. Unless you are super fancy (and loaded) and have a Clover machine, in which case you can pay me to keep it constantly polished. Stumptown sold there Clovers after Starbucks bought the company that makes them. Ok, I’m in coffee geek mode now, I’m sure Im losing most of you.

Thanks for the offer though! Much Appreciated, I could use a extra job! Im a broke ass minority. Besides Im on the west coast. BUT… If you ever stop selling to East Coast elitist white hipsters and move over to the west cost to open shop and sell to even the cooler West Coast elitist liberal white hipsters… holla at ya boy here. Maybe I can help. My ethnic background is Mexican… so obviously I’ll be washing your coffee cup and saucer dishes (#101 anyone?)

you can find me here: http://blog.jerardestudio.com/

Oh by the way, in California you won’t be of “Middle Eastern/Spanish descent”… you are Mexican. No seriously. Or Indian/Pakistani. Trust me, don’t argue with the well meaning white folks. Just nod and say “Si Senor”. It’s not worth it.
on January 28, 2009 at 10:22 pm Jerarde

Damn it. Because I corrected a guy earlier, I feel silly that I didn’t catch my own error. I meant to say:

No, have have do idea what a cracker is or the origins of the word. Please enlighten me if you know. I just thought it was funny. And if you have read any of my other post you can judge my character a little more, providing you take everything I say with a grain of salt. I say it as a form of endearment for my fellow white citenzens 😉

The word is absurd and silly. And it makes me laugh, almost as much as honkey 🙂
on January 29, 2009 at 1:30 pm cafe owner

I think it’s like a back-cracker, KKK type who would lynch us both. It’s more sinister than honkey cause that came from white people honking their horns for prostitutes in the ghetto where they were afraid to come out of the car.

I use it too though. Words meanings change over time. Now a cracker is just a white person, ussually an unsophisticated southern redneck type.

Or, as Sonny Brown’s mom told him in Manchild in the Promised land..he said that sometimes his mom called some white people crackers, and some white people Jews, so he said “mama, what’s the difference between a cracker and a Jew?”

So she said “alll white people are mean and stingy, but if they mean more than the are stingy they crackers, and if they stingy more than they are mean they jews.”

DO NOT GET ALL HYPE ABOUT THIS CALL ME NAMES OR CORRECT MY SPELLING AND GRAMMER. IT IS NOT THAT SERIOUS YALL.

AND…if people don’t like you, there’s nothing you can do about it. That’s what my friend’s black Jamaican grandfather ntold him when he started whining abotu racism, and it goes both ways.

So what if I don’t like you?
on January 29, 2009 at 1:42 pm Achillea

Evidently white people also like spelling and grammatical errors:

1. It should say “they’re too lazy,” not “their to lazy.” Also, “themselves” rather than “their selves.”

2. Should say “now you think that they think that they’re cool” or some variation. Point: the comma was unnecessary and you again used the wrong form of their/they’re/there.

3. Only when there is only one word is every word typed correctly. It should have three periods, though. …

4. You must mean “generalizes” — with an s. Also, I’m pretty sure that’s an improper use of the term ‘race.’ I think it’s actually considered an ethnicity. I’m not 100% on that, though.

I am tempted to comment on the fact that white people also seem to really enjoy butchering the English language… But non-whites don’t really have any room to talk about that either, as it is actually a common pastime shared by all ethnic groups.

Actually, I found the corrective entry quite refreshing. I have forgotten how frustrating and maddening it is to read the rambling of random people. Yet, I have never forgotten that racism has never taken a day off in America. I invite those who realize that true change begins within to do as Obama does in the face of opposition, hatred, false expectations and personal attacks- take it in stride and keep your cool, stay focused and never let them see you sweat. I know. I can. I will.

This may be said someplace else in the comments, and if so, I apologize for the duplication.

The term “cracker” is largely believed to be derived from the “cracking of the whip” and was coined by slaves (of unverified descent or orign). He who cracked the whip was referred to as a cracker.

I did actually know this without Wikipedia, but suggest that Wikipedia be added to the list.

A cracker is someone who shucked the husks of corn to be used in the making of white lightning (moonshine)…
Just another way slang has been misinterpreted and turned into a derogatory-racist term! There are more! Have a great evening!
on January 29, 2009 at 5:40 pm Jerarde

Really? True? How do I verify this? And if it is true… you’re so not funny with your knowledge and stuff. Nobody like a show off. Although a white guy making a drink called “white lighting” is making me chuckle a little. Just a little.

that was my attempt at humor. this site is entertainment, nothing more, nothing less. I usually don’t like it when the post turn serious. But your information was welcomed, I was serious when I originally asked for it. Interesting answer.

California? Only cool white people are from Northern Cali (Bay Area). LA has some cool white hipsters and yuppies. They would be cooler if they weren’t always coked-up down there! And thought the world revolved around them. Haha 🙂

Thanks for the info. Good lookin out kiddo.

Keep it real white girl.
on January 29, 2009 at 7:37 pm Anthony

This is ridiculous. After reviewing the list there are only like 5 things on here that are semi-exclusive white people likes. Other than that mostly everything on this list is liked by all races. I know Mexican people will drink coffee all day long with every meal. The Barack Obama thing is quite possibly the stupidest thing I have ever read. Apparently most of the country liked President Obama when the election rolled around, and ask the folks in the GOP who are predominantly white, I’ll bet you’ll get a different answer than the ones posted here. I can’t believe people are investing their time on this, or that I am. I linked to this page hoping that it would be funny, instead it’s just dumb. I mean what’s next on the list? Beer, then an explanation about how white people like Heineken, or the varieties of beer on the shelves. This list is the worst attempt at anything I have ever seen. Even if, as I’ve read, this is supposed to be satire, it’s still ridiculous. If you don’t know any white people, to know what white people like, I suggest finding a white person to befriend, and you may find they like the exact same things you like. For example the white person you become friends with may also enjoy coffee, President Obama, and maybe, just maybe they might enjoy their ipod or iphone, or other apple product. It’s amazing how incredibly stupid this country has become to find something like this worthy of anything. Go read a book people, watch some news, learn something, stop blaming government for not being able to do anything when your time is used reading this garbage instead of making your lives better.

on January 29, 2009 at 7:48 pm redfoxglove

Re “Cracker”, gee, I didn’t know it was derogatory, I must be behind the times. In N. Fla. it’s the term used to describe Southern “whites” who have lived there for a few generations, are/were agrarian based landholders who did not retire to Florida from somewhere in the NE urban scene. In general, by my experience, it is a positive reference. WP like to be identified as “Florida Cracker” in my old neighborhood.
on January 29, 2009 at 7:56 pm redfoxglove

Okay, I guess I better redefine my idea of what’s good about being from the South, if none other than Wikipedia is going to define Crackers as slave owning whip cracking WP. Gee, I had no idea. We’uns in N. Fla. just thought we were hard working WP who happened to farm ‘maters and melons with our own WP hands and a tractor. The only whip that I ever saw cracked was the one my pappy cracked at us so we would do our homework. Uh oh, I guess I must be revealing that under my hipster veneer I’m really just a redneck.

on January 29, 2009 at 9:12 pm Jerarde

Red! My new friend.

Peet’s! You didn’t even have to say you’re a No. Cal girl after that.

Ahhh, Berkeley’s (and the entire Bay Areas) beloved Peet’s. I’ll give Peet’s an honorable mention. They are clearly a step or two above Starbucks. In fact Peet’s is down right good! You can find me at many a Peet’s around the east bay… 4th street Berkeley is my personal fav! I’m probably losing all of you on this one (Im ditching the usual fun anonymous any-town usa internet post for actually being a real person and giving specifics) The area around 4th street Berkeley is white people, people watching paradise!!! Peet’s, Sur La Table, Design Within Reach, Crate & Barrel, The Pasta Shop gourmet food, and a dozen other small boutique stores… White people flock to Berkeley’ 4th Street shopping area like flies on… you get the point. Back to Peet’s. Its good. BUT… once you become a full fledged coffee snob like me, Peet’s no longer cuts it! Go to Ritual in SF to find out what a real cafe is supposed to serve. Or the greatest the west coast has to offer is StumpTown in Portland. Sometimes I don’t even drink my Stumptown order, I just cradled the cup like a baby and rock it while whispering I love you.

So, yeah, throw Peet’s up on my list in the honorable mention category.

on January 29, 2009 at 9:26 pm Jerarde

Thanks for enlightening me. I was almost taking this site serious until you shown me the error of my ways.

You lose all credibility after your second sentence. So there are 5 things on the list that are semi-exclusive white people?

I’m pretty confident that most of the white (and minority) people that think this is blog funny, in a “real world” and or serious conversation, would agree that not a single item on the list is exclusive to whites.

But they don’t say so. Why? Because you don’t come here to be serious. It’s entertainment.
on January 29, 2009 at 9:44 pm Jerarde

THANKS!

I wasn’t expecting that, so I don’t have a witty or otherwise wise crack remark. So instead of being awkward, I’ll just accept the compliment and say thanks.

On a serious note(sorry for the buzz kill), yes, there’s definitely something to your idea regarding more diversity. I think an extension of this blog with more of an ensemble of writers would be great and entertaining. But you would have to play on the theme of how this blog is written. It’s written as a mock guide for non-whites (but obviously written for white people) that have white friends and or interact with white people. So perhaps a cast of minority writers that could talk about their adventures with white people. I don’t know… now I’m thinking too much about it.

For now, I’m just a happy viewer of the blog. Its funny and witty. This is my first week having discovered the site. You can’t get rid of me now! You will definitely be seeing more of my commentary in the future….
on January 29, 2009 at 10:08 pm Jerarde

Whoa! Great question! Here’s my answer…

YES. BUT… your gay friend will be a Black contemporary dancer from NY or SF that grew up in the south with their overbearing grandmother. Yep. that’s it.

But you may want a second opinion. I am neither gay or white. But I have lots of gay friends. I try not to introduce them as “This is my gay friend…”. I only do that when I am around straight white yuppies that have yet to find their ultimate gay friend. I just do it to show off.
on January 29, 2009 at 10:34 pm Nick

I want to go there. I want to meet that girl. I want to drink that tea.

Of course, I’ll have to stop off at Starbucks first. Do a bit of frontloading, ya know, to make the buzz real.

I am a coffee snob also, actually I have never heard of Ritual in S.F. but next time i head to the City I will check it out, thanks for the tip! I was just thinking, it is only white people who scuba dive too? I scuba dive, haven’t in a while but I don’t recall seeing any realy diversity on the boat or at the dive resort I stayed at when I went! Maybe this is a topic for a whole new thread? LOL! My boyfriends buddy pointed him to this website (his friend is not white) and I have been cracking up reading some of the stuff. I will confess, I do also love Hummus and was crying at my desk at work during lunch reading it, pretty funny stuff! Happy Friday all!

Scuba diving is definitely a white thang. Here’s why.

You’ll have to watch BET’s Comic view for your answer. The last time I was watching reruns at 2am there was always at least one joke regarding scuba diving. I will condense it to the bare essentials…

“White people do some crazy stuff. Scuba diving. Shark cages! They pay for this. White boy gets his arm bitten off. Uh uh not me. White peoples is crazy ya’ll.”

This joke also works well with kayaking, sky diving, and bungee jumping.

We [minorities] also don’t trust the white man and feel that if we went we would be given the broken scuba gear.

I hope that clarifies it for you!

And yes I love humus. But I mostly keep it around for my white guest. That and some brie! (I know that just sealed the deal and proved I am a friend to the white man)

on January 30, 2009 at 8:56 am Jerarde

I get it now! Ahhh. Well your delivery sucks. I mean that in the nicest way. I think people here are getting tired and jaded with all the people that don’t get the joke. So we’re quick to jump on a humorless and self righteous comment. I can see how yours was taken out of context. Work on your comedic timing.

I am a huge proponent of Fair Trade goods. Don’t get me started on the virtues of Fair trade coffee. But that is a topic better left for a social political blog or even a coffee specific one. But not here. Here is where white people are allowed to, as they say in my hood, act a foo. Its silly.

And I will also chill and enjoy. It’s time for a break. These baby seals are giving me a run for my money today.

This whole poll is nothing but a money generator from ads, there is no mention of Metallica or Freebird. Also, no guns, pickup trucks, or fishing. And doesn’t every race have things that they love? Aisans love saki and rice, Africans love colt45 and Bar-B-Que chicken, Hispanics like tequila and flat bread that once folded, can be named a hundred different things.

This all seems a bit racist to me. Or I could be wrong. I do not think that racism actually applies when it is targeted toward white people, I think that most other races feel whites are unfeeling monsters, and, with no feelings, are not affected by petty drivel.

After finishing this list, I think its high time White People give up many of these obviously passe and played out past times that we always pretended to be into anyway, and kick it really old school: colonialism and unapologetic racial supremacy! C’mon, its in our pure, undiluted blood! Let’s start wearing knickers, hoop skirts and wigs again, restore monarch rule over all the former colonies, employ coolies to kart us around places like Annapolis, MD and Bermuda; and this time, no more damn philosophy – let’s really mean it!

Seriously, coffee tastes better when you know swarthy people have been exploited by it; and let’s face it, sea salt, Crocs and Public Enemy all suck and are now threats to your integrity. Cut off your dreadlocks and embrace the only cultural instincts you now know to be true!

For God and King Richard!!!

I think he is suggesting more of the suburban white people who go to college and are yuppies as opposed to rural rednecks. Although I do believe his list is incomplete, but he has hit a majority of this shit on the head. I know for a fact I can point out at least a majority of my white friends portraying 50% or more of their devotion for things on this list. haha.
on January 30, 2009 at 2:33 pm Patrick

I have spend the last 2 hours at work reading your post, excellent work! Some I agree and applaud, some I agree with but not all fit in. Asian girls I have little interest in, never had a “yellow fever”, however I am highly interested in african american girls, have always had that attraction for african american girls.

As for coffee, I stand sorta on the odd line, maybe I pasted the “tea” post, if there is one, but I prefer tea a whole lot more than coffee. The teas I like are usually higher quality teas, that make Tazo tea’s look like the Twining tea brand. Rishi is about the lowest in quality I’ll go.

However, I do agree, that it seems like the majority enjoy coffee. I think a lot of the coffee liking stems from a liking of the Cafe environments.

Great work over all!

Actually the white people coffee phenom started in those late fifties early sixties sitcoms like Leave it to Beaver and My Three Sons. It was the only beverage consumed since alcohol was too dramatic and soft drink ties in had not been developed. All you had was Ward Cleaver and Mr. Douglas with their coffee cups.

This all followed the WWII movie phenomena where all the pilots and GI’s ususally white went around all jacked up on caffeine and whacked the Germans and Japanese. The Axis forces were fueled by dictators and mad dogma. But the Allies were all coffee and tea for the Brits.

Continuing on with the trend today are the trailer park methlabs and toothless methanphetamine junkies. They all started on coffee you know. Just as crack is the drug of choice to charaterize the inner city, Meth rules the open range.

If you are a curious American reading this, be warned! I’m from Canada, and Tim Hortons coffee is dirty water – on par with Folgers and other tin-can coffee brands. I think most Canadians like it only because they drink it as a “double-double” so the poorness of the coffee is masked by the cream and sugar. However, I must admit that their donuts and snacks are far better and more reasonably priced than Starbucks.

Exactly. I dropped into this blog because I read about it on cnn.com and heard about the book coming out. I’m pretty disappointed with the list because it’s full of stuff that I don’t really like. I thought it would be a lot more ‘ah-ha!-ish’ for me. Disappointed. Although, now that I’ve said all that, maybe a new addition to the list should be ‘white people like to think that they know what other white people like.’

it’s got nothing to do with pc, and everything to do with people who live in shacks being able to afford walls, plumbing, and medical care. i know you’re too full of yourself and your own snarky hack jokes, but you either are incredibly ignorant, or just a selfish prick. probably both.

exploitation isn’t some abstract pc concept. it’s real, and you are supporting it.

good job.

I’ve never seen such a bunch or pricks in one place. first of all, nobody said anything about hate speech. i know it’s the only thing some of you know how to talk about, but it’s seriouly irrelevent.

exploitation is real, and it’s easy to take small steps to counter it – fair trade practices being one of them.

there’s really no excuse not to do it, other than laziness and selfishness. and then of course, you will use humor and such to wall yourself off from having to give a damn or do something.

it’s immature and shitty of you.

Not the first person to drink coffee at school though. Probably I was the first to drink Dr. Pepper outside of restaurants, though. 🙂

If it were not for coffee, microbreweries and America, I wouldn’t even be allowed to be white.

Are there really people who like all that other stuff?

on February 1, 2009 at 9:14 am Mr. White

#1 Coffee – Sure I drink Coffee, but I am switching to Green Tea (see #16 below).
#2 Religions – Does not belonging to a religon count as as religion?
#3 Film Festival – Never been to a film festival, I get my DVDs from the library
#4 Assits – I don’t pass (i.e., assist) as my sport in highschool was wrestling
#5 Farmer’s markets — lets see, I have a choice between buying locally grown food or something harvested weeks ago over brought to the USA on a barge coming from china — what has this to do with being white? asians, blacks, and hispanics don’t shop at farmers markets?
#6 Organic food — sure, in other parts of the country the food IS organic, here we have to go out of our way to get real food that isn’t sprayed with deadly chemicals (what about blacks, asians, hispanics — they don’t eat organic food?)
#7 Diversity — sure, 1/2 the people I work with are from India — that’s diversity for you
#8 Barack Obama — actually I prefer Ralpha Nader (does that make me more, or less white?)
#9 Not going outside — sure stay inside and rot, what difference does that make to me?
#10 Who the hell is Wes Anderson and can that possibly be #10?
#11 Asian girls — sure (and Indian, Hispanic, French, Eastern European, Latin, … pretty much all girls, including Caucasian) but hey, what happened to Breast Augmentation — surely that has to make the top 10 things white people like list (who is this dummy putting this list together?)
#12 Non-profit organizations — I did my volunteering when I was younger, thanks
#13 Tea – Sure, switching to Green Tea from Cofee (see #1 above)
#14 Having Balck Friends — well, actually I think it is more White to not have friends …
#15 Yoga – more people practice Yoga in the USA than anywhere else , but it hardly ranks above gifted children
#16 Gifted Children — sure, all the children in the USA are gifted — it is called pandering to the lowest common denominator and making all children feel good about themselves
#20 What culture? There is no such thing (give USA another couple hundred years, we might pull somthing together eventually)
#25 Who the hell is David Sedaris?
#28 — not having a TV? I guess that’s why circuit city went out of business
#35 The Daily Show/Colbert Report — actually, I watch Olbermann — does that count?
#40 Apple Products — I bought an Ipod once , it broke in less than a year
#46 The Sunday New York Times — people actually read newspapers anymore? I thought being White meant skimming your news off of cnn.com (gee, any ding bat can put together a stupid list and post it too a website — what is truly White is having the time to waste reading and posting comments to stupid websites … I think that should surely be at least #8 on the list)

I’m glad Mr. White posted his opinion on a lot of the items on the list. I’ve been wondering for weeks “What does Mr. White think about this site?” Now that I know, I can form an opinion for myself without worrying that it’s possibly wrong.
In other words, if you believe we care that much about the precious jewels that are your thoughts, start a blog. Don’t poo up someone else’s.
on February 1, 2009 at 10:17 am mr white

Darryl,

Start a blog — gee, thanks for the brilliant suggestion. Boy, now why isn’t that on the list — surely that is #5 of stuff white people like.

Poo is the less technical term for organic fertilizer. I am just trying to help water and tend to this wonderful website to help it grow into the towering billion dollar domain name it deserves to be.

Glad to see you have the time to waste commenting on my comments.

Sorry, I didn’t realize you couldn’t form opinions on your own or I would have responded to all the items on the list.

Over, out and adios.

If all the stereotypes don’t apply to you, you have to admit it, you know at least 50 people that fit the bill. So go warm your coffee… don’t switch to green tea, its ok… really.. your still not “typical!” Whatever helps you sleep at night. One more thing, the fact that your wrote a dissertation proves that there is some truth to the statements or you wouldn’t try so hard to refute them!!!!!! Mr. White!!! It’s ok…. your cool I promise.

Please, try to get your “your/you’re” right if you are going to post your thoughts in a public forum. Basic middle school grammar. Nothing like posting like an idiot to add to the idiocy of posting in the first place. Also, really – you think it’s a “waste of time” to comment on people’s comments? (1/29/09, 10:17 am) Isn’t posting a comment about a blog really just commenting on someone’s comments? Seems to me with your amount of posts, you are wasting the most time of us all…

yes, halirious, how did you know? The Chinese do have some pretty strange (many times irrational) notions and dislikes about black people. I should know, I’m a white person who lives and works in China, and no…I’m not taking a year off like some white people I’ve known.

on February 5, 2009 at 10:18 am Charlie

Well, I was white in the south during my middle school years circa 1997, so I heard a few ridiculously illogical jokes about “n’ers” and whatnot. Some really offensive stuff, like black people supposedly smelling like peanuts for no reason. But regardless, I later learned that, like most things, we’d stolen a lot of it from Asia, and the Middle East (or did they steal it from us?).

Anyway, one time I worked for an Indian (as in the country) family who owned a candy store at a local mall. One of the owners was a 45 year old gentleman who had only lived in the USA for about 5 years, and he’s the only person who’s ever made me, a white person, feel I was the subject of racism: “Wow, I can’t believe you’re a white person who likes spicy food.” Thanks Ashoke, yes I am white, and yes indeed I like my food way too spicy. Jeez… Assuming white people don’t like spicy food is sort of like assuming all white people love mayonaise… There was probably an SNL skit about it.

I blame the mall, and the slow pace of globalization. I wish we could speed that shit up.

I do kind of agree there. I don’t really like coffee or tea very much but I’ll drink it anyways…but mostly just to wake up. I prefer eating breakfast, though I rarely have time to. I do honestly love coffee cake, though. Especially ice cream coffee cake, no self forcing needed there what so ever. As for tea, I might enjoy it more if I tried the ‘traditional ground tea’ instead of the little baggys…-shrug-

Starbucks is not real coffee. The plain brewed coffee there always tastes burnt, and the big sales are in the fru-fru drinks of sugared-flavored syrups that over power the coffee.
Maybe you should say “white people like fru-fru coffee.”

I grew up in a true coffee culture. I drank coffee as a kid- by the time I was 10. My aunt (by marriage) came from Cuba and she made espresson on the stove top. I tasted black espresso in a demitasse at age 3 or 4. My husband drank cafe con leche in his bottle as a toddler. Coffee lovers live in the cold, cloudy climates or come from cultures where the bean itself is cultivated.

Do I ask you to judge a black man for slinging dope on the corner or judge a jewish man for his beliefs? There are so many different types of raceism. To pick one from so many is small and one sided. After you read this you should realise that hate and violence have created man to do such Sad Sad things to each other. We will all be judged in the end and when Iam Ihope that race is not an issue.

While we’re on the topic of substances, don’t forget tobacco. We liked this plant so much we industrialized it, along with coffee.

Also, psychotropic drugs. I cannot overstate what a huge hit these are with white people. SSRIs, especially. CNS depressants too. The valium-addicted housewife is going to be a white housewife 99% of the time, thanks to this white dude:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leo_Sternbach

Not to mention designer recreational drugs. white college kids can’t get enough of them. Leave it to a white guy to invent about 250 of them:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Shulgin

or to make the term “hallucinogen” a household name:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Hofmann

The article on marijuana was very good, but I guess the point I’m trying to make is that there is still quite a bit of room to flesh out the characteristic substance infatuations and use/abuse patterns of white people. We tend to be very ardent about our drugs.

I worked in a coffee shop for 3 years owned by this guy that felt that once he made enough money in real estate that he should open up a coffee shop that he’s not in long enough to run. I felt like I was selling people their daily cup of crack. The newbs would make faces that looked like they would like to permanently remove their tongues.

Didn’t touch the stuff until I hit college, and then I might as well have hooked myself up to an ivy of coffee (the things we do to function in college….)

First off; screw Starbucks! Get some GOOD coffee at a reasonable price. Mc D’s new cafe coffees rock!
I’m confused now: Do I love coffee because I’m white, or because I’m a recovering alcoholic? Or both!?!? OMG! Someone help me!!!! BRB; going to fill my mug…….
on March 3, 2009 at 10:43 am DreddPyrateRoberts

Straight latte, NO syrup, sugar, additives. Purchased from a local shop that roasts it there. Now that’s a whiteboy drink. French pressed is also a viable option.
Starbucks? Oh dear, no. I try to avoid the big, green mermaid.

So… are white people the only ones to call “plain” coffee “black” coffee? Or do Black people also call it “black” coffee? I just experienced a black person say they wanted it plain, when I asked if they needed cream or sugar. I am so conditioned to hearing “no, I’ll take it black” or black is good” that when he said “plain coffee” it made me wonder??

Hey I’m a white person and I love coffee. I also think your blog is the funniest thing I’ve seen and regularly post links to it on my blog, and even on my facebook page. Which always gets a great reaction from my other white friends. They find it really funny too. Come to think of it, I’d love to read what you think about white people and online social networks, that’d be a cack!

I also took a year off to work as an English teacher in Europe and SE Asia, so obviously your entries about white ppl taking a gap year traveling and teaching English made me laugh my ass off.

Thanks for sharing, look forward to more truthful goodness.

on March 18, 2009 at 12:37 pm Asian Sensation

I am not white–I am a white person’s coveted token minority friend because I am gay, Asian, went to Vassar, watch Mad Men, and am going to become a lawyer. I also live with a white person. This white person grinds coffee very early in the morning waking me up. I ask Matt (my white roommate is named Matt short for Matthew), “Oh do you mind grinding coffee the night before? The grinder always wakes me up.” He then says no and goes on how about how it tastes different if it isn’t freshly ground, made in his French Press, and drank black.

Can you fellow white people tell me seriously what the hell is up with that? He is also obsessed with making lots of money and writing short stories and quoting Bob Dylan and the Big Lebowski. My mom thought he was mildly autistic. But I explained to her no he was just white.
on March 18, 2009 at 6:56 pm whitey

what’s up with that? he’s a fucking dumbass, that’s what’s up with that. it’s not that he’s white, it’s that he’s an annoying motherfucker. don’t use this blog as a way to point your blind rage at “white people”. not all white people are like that.
on March 19, 2009 at 1:23 am panda.bae

he is actually asserting his territory, you should break it to him to get some respect, just say you don’t care, or don’t say a word and go unplug his grinder … if he’s really a connoisseur, he should hand grind it and i don’t believe that makes a lot of noise if he does it the amount just for himself.
on March 19, 2009 at 1:28 am panda.bae

btw, if you really is becoming a lawyer, you are dealing with this sort of people everyday … try play a ukulele some bob dylan tunes while he is asleep.

Whould you have been as annoyed if asian sensation was also white?
on March 20, 2009 at 9:43 am DreddPyrateRoberts

I grind my coffee fresh every morning and then into the press. I will grind it the night before or wrap a towel around the grinder to muffle it if I might wake someone. So he sounds a little self-absorbed.

BTW, I don’t care for money all that much and with a few exceptions, am not materialistic.

Good luck.

And to the person that wrote the “cute” article about our obsession with coffee, buying Fair Trade does make a difference you stupid shithead.

Oh but you wouldn’t know anything about Fair Trade would you? Try Googling it. (Oh yeah, you can add that to your list too, because we love!!!! to Google stuff) I can tell buy these little article headlining each item on the list that you are an uneducated, selfish nimrod.

Yes we white people have diverse interests and happen to genuinely care about our fellow human beings.

on March 20, 2009 at 9:42 pm Andrea

umm, isn’t this written by a white guy, asshole?

And the “what’s between my legs” comment doesn’t even make sense.

What’s interesting is part of white privilege is the aspect of individuality. People think that African-Americans only like hip-hop(or the “educated” like jazz), that Mexican-Americans all have family members who were/are migrant workers and Asian obviously love math and science.

White people have this interesting reaction when they start getting lumped in with each other like other races experience daily: They get pissed. But somehow when they get pissed, people should start listening, because they’re white and pissed.

That’s cute kiddo. Welcome to one ounce of a sliver of what other people face everyday. Except that it’s just on a website you can click away from, and it’s not you getting followed in a store because you’re going to steal based on the color of your skin.

have fun with that.

Talk about morons, all of you idiots who responded to me. Of course you don’t have the fucking intelligence to direct a response to my Fair Trade comment.
My main problem with this blog, regardless of someone’s skin color, is the repeated attack’s on human right’s interests that certain people, of all colors btw, happen to care about.

The only redeeming thing about this website is the fact that all proceeds from t-shirt sells go to the Children of the Night orgainization.
on March 21, 2009 at 2:24 pm panda.bae

do you think fair trade is really fair? do you believe that the complex system will end up having your freaking token gesture to go to the farmers? do you think the people in the middle won’t manipulate the system for their own interest to tap money off into their own pockets? do you know only about 3c will end up in the farmers? and you believe you cock ass is fair to the farmers that your all important 2 dollars will remove their hardship that in the end they will all each drive a car, send their children to go to the uni, have a career, living in a big house, take hot shower every night, watch cable and tapping on a macbook whinging? can you hear them complaining now? or you are knowing it but you can’t care less because you have done your feel good shit … can i ask you to divert 1/3 of your income to solve the poverty? can I ask you to pay $30 for a cup of coffee if bono tells you that is the fair price and will improve on the farmers? do you quit coffee? drink less? or you may say now it is their problem and ask them to work harder and say your living standard is not really high, you the farmers don’t need that money?

people like you are only willing to see what you are comfortable with for the sake of feeling good about YOURSELF and when the truth is too un-comfortable to swallow you just duck away into the darkness and shaking or pretend nothing ever happened … would you donate to the children of the night organisation when you don’t get a t-shirt? tell me if a street kid were walking upon you to ask for 10 dollars, you know you won’t get anything back, you don’t know his story, you don’t even know him, most likely he needs help or something had happened that he ends up on the street; but he doesn’t look nice or clean, probably he did not receive enough education to say something that stroke your ego; would you give the $10 to him when you know that the next say 12 hours will be less hard if you give him the money?

you are a fake! you should poke your eyes with a penis and drop dead.
on March 21, 2009 at 3:48 pm theguy

as a white man who uses a big pink container of (non-free trade) folgers coffee (to fight breast cancer) with his pompous stove top maker , i can say my white uncle did a very white motorcycle trip through mexico recently and gave a pretty sincere breakdown of the free trade lifestyle. the chiapas are doing an okay job of keeping their communities together and keeping their rural schools running because of free trade coffee. it’s their major economic connection to the rest of the world, because most of their other economies are pretty self contained. no matter what you think of their politics. my white bleeding heart does like the fact that these people get to stay on their own land and not have to go to the overcrowded cesspool (and hipster cesspool in some areas) of mexico city to find work in a factory.

…but then again, i come to this site to laugh more than to consider why i don’t buy nike anymore.

Yes I am very familiar with Children of the Night and happen to make a $20 monthly donation in honor of my cousin, you hateful little shithead.

Would I give $10 to a street kid, yes I would. I regularly give money and/or food to homeless people. I work downtown Seattle and see it all the time.

So what, I’m a liberal, coffee drinker, soccer, scarves, New Balance shoes, t-shirts, have a dog, am vegetarian, do yoga, recycling, snowboarding, Netflix, blah, blah, blah.

Referring to people or things as Fags:

Spotting someone who is unable to cope with reality has never been easier. They can be either too young to handle concepts outside of their video game console, or unable to understand sentences that dont contain the words ‘toss the pigskin, anus’ but what they have in common is undeniable. Identifying things, people, or whatever else points out their own ignorance, as Fags, or Gay.

Actually, I just read the whole book and it should be called “Stuff Liberals Like”. Everything in there is about the typical shallow, fake, bleeding heart liberal who hates the US and everything it stand for (except now they somewhat like it because Obama is president). I thought it was just too funny and too true and had to buy it. I think I’ll stick it on my desk at work since I live in Portland and surrounded by a sea of dumb liberals. I’ll see if I can get one of the dunderheads to read it and watch if they can pick out that the book makes fun of their pathetic little lives.

Hmmm, typical comment. When something is true, get back by saying that person is a racist or maybe even a drug addict? No Oxycontin here, nor any other drugs or alcohol. I just get a total and complete kick out of this book and how true it is. I just wonder why the author chose “white” when he meant liberal democrat. He all but says it in every one of his lists. This guy is awesome! 🙂
on April 5, 2009 at 2:55 pm DreddPyrateRoberts

Wow, where do I begin? This blog is written by a guy in San Francisco who is laughing at himself.

So now it’s “truth” with you right-wingdings. Well you must be still getting used to the idea of the truth. I mean eight years of lying liars telling lies can be habit forming. Here are some truths for you: I’m a Liberal. I love America. I like the civil liberties that still exist after an eight year assault.

See, I can laugh at myself and the things I do. I can love my country and criticize it too. Grown-ups can be critical of each other and still be in love. They care about each other enough to bother. Now, a child of four does not like anyone saying anything bad about Mommy. People who do that are bad, bad people. That’s how Liberals and Conservatives love their country. Liberals are like the grown-ups in a mature relationship, and Conservatives are like the Four year old.

The Oxycontin remark was because I thought you might be pals with Rush.

However, I must say, I DO think fair trade makes sense, and it’s a place to start, which has nothing to do with the critique of “whiteness” in this country but much rather of privilege!!! Any other person, no matter what race, gender and ethnicity that lives, clothes her of him self, and uses most consumer and service products is PRIVILEGED. None of us should ever forget that we are better off, not much due to our own personal merit. And we need to start somewhere, no??

Whether someone is hot or not has nothing to do with whether it’s acceptable to try and have sex with them. I hate Ann Coulter, but, all the same, would have no qualms about making angry love to her. I accept that the educated part of my brain knows that she’s reprehensible but I also accept that the animal instinct in me just wants to get my seed into as many women as possible in order to profligate my genetic material. I would compromise by thinking about the New Deal during my orgasm.

if a white person was forced to choose between instant coffee and commercial hip-hop, would that white person die?
on April 22, 2009 at 11:21 am DreddPyrateRoberts

No, they would instantly metamorphose and wear ED Hardy. This would be followed by an insistence to watch ultimate fighting and get some fried food. Also their Prius would change into a black Suburban with chrome custom wheels and a “These colors don’t run” American flag sticker.

I’m a 27 year-old Hispanic Male and, as most of you know, Great Coffee comes from South America, but just like the white man stole the land from the natives,

now they’ve taken our coffee.

But, it’s cool, we’ve taken a lot from the white man also, (trucker hats and tommy hilfiger…just to mention a few)

So we’ll call it even

I just discovered this blog, It’s pretty Funny.

I think coffee was brought to S America by the Spaniards. If I remember, it is native to Africa/Middle East.

We south Indians like coffee too. As a 4th generation coffee grower in Audubon friendly plantations I must say that we don’t see much of that extra money!

Nice list!

lol trucker hats and tommy hilfiger. I’d never have thought of that. If you are only including modern history, I’d say the hispanic-white social relationship has blossomed much faster than the black-white social relationship. What’s with the hispanic-black relationship? I do not hear much about it.

This blog is complete hilarity! I love the sarcasm…white people are so funny. whoo. time to wipe the tears of laughter form my eyes.

Sarcasm can go as far as being racist. But I’m sure yall black folks dont wanna hear that from a pussy little white guy…..Why is it in NY all I see is black people working at Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks? Theres usually only one white dude working there. Black people love coffee, dont let them fool you…They suck it down cuz they can take the black out of it.

on May 3, 2009 at 2:52 pm Just Pointing it Out

There’s quite a void between WORKING somewhere and LOVING something… how many drunk people do you see behind the bar. The white people are far too busy running marathons and watching foreign films to actually work in Starbucks… FACT.
Plus, white people don’t love dunkin donuts…
on May 3, 2009 at 9:57 pm Seanna

Are you kidding me? White people LOVE Dunkin Donuts (or Tim Horton’s if you’re Canadian) and any disgusting variant — because they are usually trashy and stupid.

TRU FAX: I’m white and I don’t run marathons because that’s too much work for nothing.

Oh, and I work at Starbucks.

“Why is it in NY all I see is black people working at Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks? Theres usually only one white dude working there. Black people love coffee, dont let them fool you…They suck it down cuz they can take the black out of it.”

ROFL yeah that’s EXACTLY why they work there, for their undying passion for coffee.

Starbucks is Gay, you young people are being brainwashed by corporate America.

Coffee is a performance enhancer. Groups that can’t or won’t perform, usually aren’t caught drinking it.

My suggeestion: spike the Chicago water supply with tons of coffee and lets see a “reduction in the achievement gap”.
on May 5, 2009 at 2:43 pm Basil

I like coffee, and I fall into many of the “White stuff” categories but Starbucks is too overtly pretentious to be cool. If you see anyone with a Starbucks coffee two things come to mind, first – Sucker! and second Poser!

Sucker because you just paid a boat load of money for a coffee that is not even that great, and you had to make add the sugar and cream yourself if you stayed inside the shop.

Poser, because the coffee is not even that great, and the only reason you are drinking Starbucks is to show off.

“Starbucks is Gay, you young people are being brainwashed by corporate America.”

This statement had me cracking up. You seriously could not have said something more white if you tried.

10 out of 10 for correctly identifying a satirical blog as “a joke”. Extra credit for not taking said joke seriously, but I suggest further study on the areas of socioeconomic stereotypes and artistic licence.

I chill at IT’S A GRIND and get a foglifter. Coffe with espresso. Tastes awesome and kicks me on my ass.

Ha. And coffee originated in the Ethiopian highlands. Check out The Coffee House (Markman Ellis) and The Great Good Place (Ray Oldenburg). They both reveal some history behind coffee and how its become a huge force in creating social movements.

Man this list is uber kewl. I feel inspired to create my own list of “Stuff Non-white People Like”, based on my lifelong immersion in non-white culture. Here’s my first idea —

Talent Shows — granted, it seems everyone likes to get on stage and make an ass of themselves. But some non-whites (those not already committed to pursuing a career in pro sports) feel some kind of singing or dancing will provide the means of avoiding a real job, and so they rarely miss a chance to demonstrate their “talent” at butchering “I Will Always Love You” or performing a routine from “You Got Served” as someone having a seizure might.

Notice I didn’t mention acting. Non-whites seem to shun the profession for fear of being branded a Sidney Poitier, who was obviously an Uncle Thomas. Besides, Ice Cube doesn’t need acting ability to get his roles obviously.

Oh shit, I thought I was whiter than the snow, but I don’t like half that stuff. I must be racist. Or “DIFFERENT”. Damn, I love my parents, but I’m a veg. I don’t like bikes, but I love architecture. I love hummus, but I don’t own a peacoat. And I don’t care about Japan but Halloween is badass. Does that make me weird? D:

My only grudge with the Starbucks culture we have in America is that coffee has been downgraded from being a nice social drink to be sipped, enjoyed, and conversed around…it’s now a quick-stop-grab-it-and-go-caffeinate-me-because-I-never-get-to-bed-early-enough drug.

I’m currently writing this in Europe, Slovakia to be exact. Everywhere I go…from the little village to the major city, I see cafes all over. I do not see one simple stop and go spot and not one paper cup with a plastic lid and java jacket. I see large ceramic cups and stylish glassware to serve coffee. I see people sit down and enjoy it…not guzzle it as a means to avoid sleeping.

While I reside in Chicago, in my opinion my fellow Americans have messed up one of the great things that made coffee and the cafe what it is. We comoditized it and made it about “on the go”. It irks me how in cities all over the world there are loads of outdoor cafes everwhere. How you can’t even walk into an alcohol establishment and not find coffee there. While in Chicago I can have my pick of thousands of half-assed wannabe German and Irish pub watering holes and yet not many decent cafes.

Europeans and even Canadians seem to live in a culture where it’s about taking a moment to sit with friends, have a cup of coffee, relax, and have a real conversation…while in America I seem to see a culture that spends their day caffeinating themselves to work way too hard and then spend the evening getting sloshed to forget…and then back to the same cycle in the morning.

We need less bars and more cafes…real ones with soft chairs, couches, later hours, and drinks that are about sitting and relaxing…not grab-it-and-leave.

I’m a 18 year old girl from a small town in canada and while we do still have our fair share of starbucks and on-the-go coffe shops I agree with what you are saying we need to re-personalize the coffee shop and make it a place that bans text messaging and encourages real conversations
on May 19, 2009 at 12:13 pm Oz

There is a small town in FL that is trying to re-live that , slower life style that you talk about. If you are ever in the area , visit the classic town of Kissimmee and you will be pleasantly surprised of the various outdoor “cafes” combined with the town’s renovation efforts.
on May 20, 2009 at 12:22 pm HMoss

what DO you do for a living? and who taught you to think your thoughts? your europe bit gave me a dear little twist in my heart and for a tiny brief moment I was there at one of those cafes with a white ceramic mug regaling in all its glory. I could even see its vapor – like ocean’s breath on a foggy day. It is this that coffee is made for: the thoughtful hour where one speaks in laughs and whispers and open eyes of life’s best: love, music and food.

you admonished so gently yet powerfully it is only with utmost respect and agreeableness that I congratulate you.

In montreal canada we have a lot of cafes like that. Starbucks and Second cup are here too, but a lot of small buisness coffee shops as well. Mostly people go the these places and sit on sofas, study chat, it’s really a place to spend time and relax. Most places that aren’t franchises you can ge a nice cup of STRONG coffee, not that brown mud butter dunkin donuts serves, they went out of buisness in Quebec ages ago!
on May 26, 2009 at 8:19 am Captain Cracker

Hmm. Maybe you’re onto something. I’m whiter than a ghost and I love coffee. If it’s a “contrast with complexion” thing, do black people love sour cream?
