White people can’t enough of Film Festivals. Especially Sundance, Toronto, and Cannes. The reason why they love them so much can be due to a number of factors.
Fact #1 – 90% of white people have taken a film class at some point in their life.
Fact #2 – White people like feeling smart without doing work – 2 hours in a theater is easier than 10 hours with book.
Fact #3 – If white people aren’t going back packing, they generally like to travel with a specific purpose.
Fact #4 – 75% of white people believe they either have the potential to or will become filmmakers/screenwriters/directors at some point.
Fact #5 – White people hate stuff that is ‘mainstream’ – so they go to film festivals where they see movies that every other person in their demographic wants to see. It’s a pretty sweet way to rebel.
Fact #6 – It is required by white person law, that you publicly declare that foreign cinema is better than Hollywood Cinema, and on par with Indie Film.
Fact #7 – White people earn credibility by being into film from strange countries – “oh you liked Batman? Yeah, I didn’t see it, I’m really into Serbian film now. They had a great retrospective at the Vancouver Festival.”
Stuff White People Like 
See the tramp on the left? That coat is hiding a diaper, I KNOW IT
But you have to admit… There are A LOT of crappy, predictable, brain-numbing Hollywood films. It’s nice to see some competition from the “Independent Film” genre. I would like to think it encourages big studio execs to take risks and make intelligent movies every once in a while.
Maybe I’m just too white and nerdy (like the Weird Al song…), but some of my favorite films are indie-like movies. I’m not sure always what constitutes an indie film exactly, but I imagine a low budget and no-name talent to be factors. Recently I saw Cloverfield and thought it was brilliant (sort of chilling!). But I also liked the last Batman. Variety is important, considering Hollywood is so homogenized. Sure, a lot of Indie films are “white” but this genre gives ample opportunity for directors of all ethnic backgrounds to get their art out to the public.
Did you have to say “tramp”? Can you be funny without being misogynist? Or is that too much to ask.
Tramp is by no means misogynist. It’s a unisex slur.

Anonymous number 5 is a racist.
the state of indie film today is just as restrictive as the state of hollywood film….
telling the same stories with the same cast of characters
white people get to be angsty, emotional, deep to some degree
non white people get to be fighting for their existence against the oppression they live under due to their race (or class, sometimes)
Sorry, it’s not indie if it’s regurgitated hollywood formulas produced for 1 million as opposed to 20 million.
it’s marketing.
I’m white and I have never gone to a film festival. Wanna hang out with me man? Probably not because I did take a film class in school. I read about 2-4 books every month – am I cool again? Other reasons to think I’m cool: I have never been backpacking, I don’t have potential as a filmmaker, I hate most stuff that is mainstream and also most stuff that is indie, I haven’t watched much foreign cinema at all. Let’s hang, bro.
Being overly sensitive to gender terms is also very white.
imwhiteandi: you can be cool AND white, honey! owning your whiteness would actually make you COOLER than trying to distance yourself from it, i think… Why do white people self-depreciate so?
Associating “whiteness” with being uncool is a cop-out – so that when they dont socially deal or engage with other ethnic minority communities everyone accepts it.
… that being said, as a black woman, i just DONT get ya’lls love of expensive sandwiches, indie music and co-op grocers. Whats with that? lol.
I go to film festivals, but the people at them are soooo annoying. I volunteer at them so I can get free passes, cause that shit is like $200 bucks for the weekend otherwise. Not to mention all the movies come back to back to back, so if you want food you usually have to opt for the $8.00 portobello mushroom and roasted red pepper sandwiches and a $2.00 bottle of water.
Another thing white people like: BOTTLED WATER! Aquafina water is literally JUST TAP WATER from Raleigh suburbs…
serbian films are pretty damn good though…
What makes Serbia such a “strange” country. I just visited, and it was a lot of fun, not so much strange.
for about 5 minutes 10 or 15 years ago indie films were kinda innovative, now they’re just chintzy, sloppier versions of real movies.
Nowadays I see Sundance winner blurb on a DVD case & I drop it like a hot turd.
i dont think you can get more hollywood than indie films. commercial for indie awards all had gazillion dollar movie stars in their conan boots.
God, white people do love film festivals. We all claim to have seen “hip” movies before they became popular, too. e.g.:
White Person #1: Have you seen Little Miss Sunshine yet?
White Person #2: Yeah, I saw it way before all of the buzz.
White Person #1: Me too. I mean, I help create the buzz.
I guess right now you could substitute Juno for Little Miss Sunshine. White people would hate if their 16-year-daughter became pregnant and/or had such a mouth on her, but they sure love to watch it!
#5 is also a coward.
i am not a liberal. i hate film festivals. just so you know, more hispanics and blacks are “liberal hippies” than white people.
“90% of white people have taken a film class at some point in their life.”
And THANK GOD they have! Otherwise, we’d be sitting through Saw XXVI!
“Fact #6 – It is required by white person law, that you publicly declare that foreign cinema is better than Hollywood Cinema, and on par with Indie Film.”
W.P.L.??? HILARIOUS!!!!
What’s up with #5? Is he/she trying to suggest that the “White People” list is nothing more than a list of racial slurs, nothing more than the equivalant of using the “N” word? I have to believe that no one is that sensitive or naive.
So true. When I was in school, lots of Iranian films were the big buzz.

“90% of white people have taken a film class at some point in their life.”
And THANK GOD they have! Otherwise, we’d be sitting through Saw XXVI!
Amen!!! Preach it Crackah!
The big reason I (and most other White People who have access to them) love film festivals is that we get to see the buzzy indie foreign edgy film *first*. So when it finally comes up at the Angelika, you can say you went to the premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival six months ago. Serious WP cred there.
i took an iranian film class, during my university arts degree in communications. i also minored in fine arts. very very white.
“i’m really into serbian film.”
so excellent.
great blog!
If this is a satire on how pretentious people can get, then it’s a subtle one. Cause they just sound genuinely pretentious.
If you think this is true, then you’ve spent too much time on the internet, and have never actually been to, or had a conversation with someone who has been to a film festival.
[…] then they will be your friend and provide you with ample opportunities to sip wine and attend film festivals […]
i looooove indie films haha.
Dan; poor guy sounds like he’s just toured all the film festivals, never leaving his comfort zone.
This poster has film festivals pegged 100%
i have attended a film festval in fact, and i have taken a film class in High school and college ect….. This is a brilliant blog I love the comments where people take it as a personal attack. That cracks me up every time
How the hell did the blogster just put “sundance” and “cannes” in the same sentence?
You think that sitting in front of a TV for two hours makes you smart? Well, then, great for you; you’ve never taken a serious film class. Try sitting in front of the toughest, most difficult movies in the world (like “Andrei Rublev” or “Jeanne Dielmann”) and THEN reading pages upon pages upon pages of very, very dense theory about them.
I hate the big-name film festivals. But I love film.
Dude, I lived in Park City, and let me tell you, that is 70% of the reason that I hate film festivals. Sundancers are rude bastards who can’t drive to save their lives, and they think that the natives are hicks.
The other 30% of the reason that I hate fests is because film festivals don’t subtitle their films, and I can’t help but feel bitter when I get excited for a movie and sometimes go as far as paying $10 for a ticket to watch it… but I can’t watch it because I’m deaf. But, hey, that’s life.
I’ve seen lots of indie films and lots of foreign films and lots of Hollywood films.
Foreign tends to be better because some countries actually fund weird directors. Or foreign tends to be crappy because it is mass-produced. (Take Bollywood, for example. Can’t stand the stuff.) Or foreign is just shitty or good no matter where it’s from.
Indie tends to be better because the director actually knows what he is doing. Or it tends to be shitty because… well, #7 covered it.
Hollywood all around tends to be brainless fun. Sometimes that’s what I want to rest from my long day. Most of the time, it’s not what I want. Another rom-com involving the “hot” actor and the “hot” actress of the day? No, thanks.
Personally, I like certain movies because they’re good and I hate certain movies because they’re bad. Doesn’t matter if it’s Taiwanese or made by a single mom, it’s still a bad movie. Doesn’t matter if it’s made by The Man, it’s still a good movie. Et Cetera.
That being said, though, I will admit that my movie tastes are strange and come off as pretentious at times. That’s why I don’t talk about film unless I know that you also love film to an embarrassing degree.
I also don’t want to be a filmmaker. I want to curate movies for film festivals and have NO CONTACT AT ALL with the film festival attendees. And, since I must watch movies with subtitles, I’ll be curating for foreign film festivals.
And, the three top film industries of the world:
-Hollywood.
-Bollywood. (India.)
-Nollywood. (Nigeria.)
The last two are sssssssssooooooooooo white! They blind me with their Nordic creed!
Wow I said it on another post but us white people take a lot offense to this. I personally find most of this stuff hillarious. On every comment page I’ve seen there’s always a handful of people who hafta say “Well I’m white and I never.” Yes obviously just because you’re white it doesn’t mean you necessarily go on Film Festival tours or stand completely still at concerts (my personal favorite). Sometimes you hafta learn to laugh at yourselves. I guess saying this makes me kind of a white Uncle Tom…an Uncle Patrick if you will.
Know what white people enjoy as much as film festivals?

[…] X#3 Film Festivals […]
I have never been to a film festival. But I have allways wanted to go.
I just thought it was cause I wanted to educate myself on things other than the mainstream. I thought: “Hey, this is my own personal interest.”
But Damn it all it was my geneology and destiny from the start.
Shoot!
-snaps fingers-
Ohh and by the way, I don’t take any of this to offence.
I think this is all hilarious, because with everyone that I have read so far I could think of a white person that does one of these things.
It says that white people hate stuff that is mainstream but they also love Starbucks. That is quite the contradiction. A lot of whiteys like Walmart as well. That be mainstream. So I presume that what you are trying to do is see all of the baggage people being to your blog. Since this is more about what you don’t say than what you do say I can only imagine that you are not really interested in statistics and or whether it is a minority or all of that other stuff that kills generalizations.
fact: 90% of white people have taken a film class…….!!!?? Holy crap I hope their aren’t uneducated people on here reading this. So you are saying that 100% of white people go to college? That is the only way that white people could have a 90% ratio of having taken a film class. Most high schools don’t offer it and good percentage of white people don’t even finish high school. All of your facts are way off if you are going to generalize “white people” as doing it. It seems to me that this category should say elitist, pretentious, and college educated white people do these things. Which if that is the case then that is a huge minority of white people who actually fit into this blog.
If white people are into mainstream then how the heck does some of these imbecilic comedies that come out of hollywood make so much money?
Oh and American has to be added. This should actually be about a very small minority of elitist, pretentious, and college educated American white people.
You forgot Tribekka. DeNiro is gonna be pissed!
You forgot Tribeca. DeNiro is gonna be pissed!
Seriously, people
It’s a joke

This list seems more like its all stuff that other races don’t like…and to me that is racist!

Haha. Hell yes–my aunt’s always like, “I’ve really been into writers from russia lately.”
#31, oh please. I too spent 4 years in film school. You don’t have a patent on watching Andrei Rublev and reading pages and pages on film theory, ok? Give me a break. Get over yourself. For what it’s worth, I actually consider Andrei Tarkovsky as a personal favorite director, but I love craptastic movies (YES MOVIES, NOT FILMS but MOVIES) just as much as the next schmoe. For god’s sake if it really bugs the shit out of you, then why don’t you move from Park City? This blog is full of shit and funny at most times. There’s nothing wrong in taking things with a pinch of salt. And for those who give a flying fuck, I’m asian and female. And I found the blog entry on Asian Females funny to boot.
I think this is more the sub-type “California White” than the genus “White”. 🙂
The people who comment on these posts are so white.
LOL @ 38 thinking that the author was actually trying to be factual.
LOL @ anybody getting seriously offended by this list.
People are stupid as fuck.
This keeps getting better and better. I am the first person to rent the one box available rental movies that won all kinds of Sundance Film Festival awards or documentaries at Blockbuster. I thought I was just not into the box office films but apparently it’s a world wide white thing to do.
I love movies of all kinds. From independent films to hollywood blockbusters. The only independent film company that comes out with some great, most good, and a lot more bad ones is Troma. I have I don’t know maybe 15-20 of their dvds. I was never into independent films till I watched The Toxic Avenger. Gore was made with melons, wigs, and butcher scraps. Sometimes you don’t need all those special effects to make a pretty freakin’ sweet movie. Other good Troma movies include all 4 Toxic Avengers, Hellblock 13, Terror Firmer, Tromeo & Juliet, and Bloodsucking Freaks!!!!! Lloyd Kaufman and Michael Herz keep rockin’ … May even go to NYC to check out the studio.
White people are such an easy target. Take some chances and challenge yourself and your comedic aspirations; you might rise above “blog writer” and compete with the Stewarts, Conchords and others who don’t fall back on the same old racial-observation humour template.
Sure Ill,
He could just change this to Stuff, young, liberal, urban, educated, persons living in America like, but you know we’ll just be talking about the same people.

“90% of white people have taken a film class at some point in their life.”
There is no easier A in high school or college than film class, and that is a simple fact.
Understand music festivals… one ticket price, lots of bands… but how many movies can you see in one day? Don’t your eyes just bug out after a while?
I only watch foreign films for the extra nudity. ;D

Travel to a foreign country to see a film festival you say? Psshaw (Please note, I’m using the “urban” definition of Pshaw). I’m too lazy to even go to the local cinema. “On Demand” is where it is at. Foreign films rule if you’re an insomniac or a kid toucher.
Wow… the commentary here is rough. That being said, I love film festivals, I’m white, and this is all true, at least for me and the other white people I know.
Obviously not ALL white people like the things on this blog. Those are the people who think Jeff Foxworthy is funny.

I’m particularly fond of the Film Noir genre, e.g. anything featuring Kate Beckinsdale in tight black leather….and Batman.
as a real white trash guy i must say that i hate file festivals for all of the reasons you mentioned. In fact, i’m beginning to suspect you web site should be re titles “Stuff Upper Middle Class White People Like”
oh, an Jeff Foxworthy is so not funny
I love your statistics. I’m pretty sure 90% of white people have not taken a film class. As much as we love to feel superior, I think you’re giving whitey too much credit.
You blog should be renamed “Stuff that pretentious, arrogant, and condescending white people like”
The 3rd Annual Kent Film Festival is March 27th through the 30th in beautiful Kent, CT.
OMG, the two of us keep reading this blog because it does mirror our lives so perfectly it’s appalling. We used to attend film festivals in New York all the time when we had the loft in Tribeca because both I and my boyfriend, like good white people, did film work at NYU. However, today virtually everyone, including the man who vacuums your Porsche at the carwash, is an aspiring metteur en scene making vapid “indie” films. Miles and I (when were not fighting) rent films from Facets not Netflix, and find we can keep up with REAL cinema unlike the poseurs who populate the festivals. Believe me, no one at Sundance has ever seen the work of Yuri Mamin or Paviz Shahbazi. We watch a lot of trash, too, like Coen Brothers movies.
[…] Film Festivals […]
I LOVE how everyone likes the blog because it’s so true to their life, but after saying that like to talk about the amazing experiences they’ve had at film festivals, or how bad Hollywood movies really are and how amazing foreign film is, and how indie they REALLY are (compared to everyone else who just thinks they’re indie).
[” Miles and I (when were not fighting) rent films from Facets not Netflix, and find we can keep up with REAL cinema unlike the poseurs who populate the festivals.”]
Translation:
“This is funny, but now I have to defend why our choices (when we’re not fighting of course) are superior, and how I, unlike everyone else is authentic”
I mean come on people, this is exactly what the blog is satirizing. It’s a joke. And a funny one at that.
Don’t worry though, she’s like the rest of us, she can watch trash too (Coen Brothers). LOL
The main reason white people like movie festivals is that white people make majority of quality films. No, I do not consider countless Chinese martial arts flicks or silly Bollywood melodramas quality films.
And for a handful of decent Asian-made films, there are plenty of Asian film festivals. Heck, even gays have their movie festivals now. Even though being gay is not even a culture or ethnicity.

I couldn’t stop laughing. You’re dead on with these 🙂
I pooped my pants
Two words, Czech Films.
[…] Film Festivals […]
spot on. Spike Lee’s “Do the Right Thing,” and Tarantino’s “Pulp Fiction” ruined everything. Now EVERY studio has an “independant” film division, and “everyone” likes indie films. but what hurts most is……….I’m no longer special………..dammit.
so true it hurts.
When I saw my first slapstick comedy from France that was awful, (not just awful, but GodAwful) I was shocked, SHOCKED! I guess I realy assumed nothing but Golden Globes came out of Europe.
WHITE PEOPLE ALERT. The use of the word “homogenized” is a dead give away.
Shut up, you idiot broad.
I’m white and I’ve never been to a film festival.
I want to go to a Porno film festival someday though.
Thank you “real white guy” — it has less to do with race, than class. And not upper middle class, just middle class.
Just like the site “stuff educated black people like”, which is about class, so is this site.
It’s still very funny, though.
I like film and Jeff Foxworthy…and that’s blasphemy to call the Coen brothers trash! watch the Canadian comedy “the Festival” for a spot on, incredibly well cast version of this topic…
hey all you white people lovers
i personally can say that every first friday i go with my fellow white peers to watch local and national film festivels.
Sure, a lot of Indie films are “white” but this genre gives ample opportunity for directors of all ethnic backgrounds to get their art out to the public.
Another reason white people like Indie Films
In reality, there are two stories (maybe more) a movie can be broken down to. Here are some, feel free to fill in any not on the list:
>Person A falls in love with person B, but can’t be together from reason(s) X,Y, and/or Z.
-or-
>Person A most overcome (insert group or adversity) to prove point/get prize/save (blank)
Okay, I can’t decide between saying “I’m not your bro, bro” or making a bro rape reference.
Nice prediction.
It’s not nessacarily strange, its just, kinda… obscure, I think is the right word. Close enough
Okay, thanks
Give it a couple years, I know they plan to make ten, including the ones already made.
No, well kinda. He’s saying that SWPL is nothing more than a list of things a stereotypical white person would like. He’s just making fun of the person who created this.
Wow. He man, can we, I don’t know, hang out. You know, just kinda, for one day, chill (excuse my neo-prep language)?
No, they can’t. They love not having a TV.
Big companies white people like:
>Target
>Ikea
>Apple
>Starbucks
>Any outdoor clothing brand
It’s funny how they contradict themselves by hating big companies.
WHITE, UPPER-MIDDLE CLASS, HIPSTERS. THAT IS WHO THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT FOR THE BILLIONTH AND A HALF TIME.
Say that again, but either add a “not” after “are” or replace “mainstream” with “Indie”.
Ya, this is funnier. Hate to say it, but taboo is funny. The more offensive, the funnier.
Well, at least no one had to tell you
HA! you’re kidding, right?? gimme netflix, you pseudo-cerebral neo-yuppies. christ. i wish you were sitting here, with me now, so you could see all the eye-rolling i’m doing. you make entertainment sound like an assignment. i’m going to go to my netflix account now, and watch mannequin.
that is SO true!
This is the stuff upper middle class white people like. the list seems to focus on the “chic” and “posh” of the disgustingly trendy “upper-crust”.
Shut up, wench. Get me a beer and keep your yapper shut or I’ll punch you in the baby.
this whole list seems to be aimed at the left wing upper middle class, not the whole worlds white races. theyre all a bit sheltered and idealistic but at least theyre not disgusting tory types who have too much money for their own good and make no attempts to improve anything. at least theyre slightly more open-minded and compassionate then tories.
most hollywood films are shit at the moment anyway. and saying i like foreign films is a pretty stupid thing to say because its like saying every film that isnt from your own country is good.
Blah blah blah blah WRONG.

The best “Indie” films are, generally speaking, not on par with the best foreign films. But I think foreign films tend to be better than Hollywood films, and it’s not because I have some pretensions about Europe or Asia being so much cooler than America.
The American film industry has, since 1915 or so, dominated the worldwide film industry: they’re making films for about a billion people. You can’t make La Dolce Vita when you’re trying to please everyone in every country. So stylistically and thematically, foreign films are usually a little more rich.
Not always, though: if you look at countries that are trying to please almost as wide an audience as Hollywood is, you’ll see a similar tendency to try to please and entertain people rather than be at the forefront of artistic filmmaking. China and India don’t have a lot of intensely personal, brilliantly structured films, because they’re also trying to please everyone.
But if you want the most entertaining films, America, China, and India are where it’s at – and there’s an argument to be made for this type of film. I just prefer a Jean-Luc Godard to a Steven Spielberg.
“We watch a lot of trash, too, like Coen Brothers movies.”
Hey Muffie and Miles, I work at Facets, and most of us would think you’re pretty ridiculously pretentious for calling the Coen Brothers’ films trash. The Coens are brilliant, no matter what duds they’ve made. They may have made The Ladykillers, but they also did Miller’s Crossing and Fargo. So, please, stop trying so hard and just enjoy the movies you enjoy.
I love going to film festivals to participate in another activity white people love – exchanging business cards.
For your daily dose of festival news check out http://daily.greencine.com
I agree with some comments. From personal experience, white people (do) like some major companies (i.e. Target, Starbucks, Ikea, LL Bean etc.) but those people are not the same ones who “hate” anything *mainstream* or associated with large corporations. Hippies, Metal Heads, “artsy” people, and goths are the ones who hate the mainstream and anything corporate. Anyone who shops at Ikea and LL Bean tend to be middle class/upper middle class white yuppies – a completely different breed of white people. ;o) You don’t want to mix up a hippy or goth with a yuppie and vice versa; they’ll be pissed. :o) Also… from my (personal experience) white people who shop at Walmart tend to be *red necks* most of the time. There is a variety of “white people” who like a variety of things. We don’t like the same stuff, just as I wouldn’t assume other ethnicities have the same interests with other people of the same background. 😛 It’s just common sense. Oh.. and I have to admit, I love the idea of backpacking around other countries (I havn’t gotten to yet, so I can only say I “love” the idea ;o), and going to indie. film festivals. I love traveling, experiencing other cultures, and even “standing” at certain concerts (if certain songs aren’t upbeat.) If that makes me really “white”, so be it. That’s what I like. I’m multi racial btw (Dutch, Filippino, Native American) and proud of it. 😛 Oh… and P.S. Metal Heads are usually white and they have mosh pits, bang their heads, and jump up and down during metal concerts… so doesnt that sort of… I don’t know… contradict the idea that all whites love standing at concerts?? 😛 Just a thought.
Does Netflix even stock Joan Crawford films?
I am white.
1. I have never taken a film class. But of course I am just about to finish high school.
2. I prefer to actually BE smart if I am going to feel smart.
3. I have never gone back packing, but I doubt I would care where I was going as long as I don’t get lost.
4. I do feel I have the potential to see my stories made into animated shows and/ or comics. (don’t know if that counts.)
5. I really don’t care if something is mainstream. I like what I like.
6. I don’t get into movies much, but I do find more anime i like then american animation. (only on the fact that stupid americans think animation is for kids.)
7. Same as above…

You also have no idea what satire or irony are…

Well, FTR, foreign films ARE generally better than American movies. Take Pan’s Labyrinth, the Counterfeiters, the Orphanage, etc.
Yea, but I liked Hellboy as well…. 😛

What the hell kind of nerd pre-teen instant message languate is “FTR” is that like “LOL”? Either way, you are simply dump for even knowing what it means. SO basically you just listed the 3 foreign films you have seen lately and think you are officially above Weekend at Bernies? I would bet a million dollars your favorite movies are Legally Blonde, 10 THings I Hate About you, Scream,… You totally epitomize everything I hate about the human race. How the fuck can 3 good foreign films back up a statement like “foreign films ARE generally better than AMerican movies” you have seen maybe 10 in your life–and most of the time its like comparing apples and oranges…stop trying to sound culturally aware and go to the mall or something.

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.
HOWEVER THE IRONY OF THIS WHOLE THING IS BEING WHITE FOR ME ONLY FOR ME!!! kICKS BIGTIME ASS!!
This website is hilarious! I love it!
Of course…I’ve never attended a film festival. I feel like I’m missing out on a rite of passage here. Hahaha.
You sound like someone living in Mom’s basement!
A good film is one that people are willing to spend money to view, you know, a Hollywood blockbuister, for instance.
The last foreign film that was a big box office success was “The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly”, and then only because of the 3 American leads.
You sound like an envious guy named Don! Good luck Dude.
On the topic of movies, I just saw the Dark Knight. I found it interesting that there was a blatant pro George Bush referrence, personified in Batman. I went online to see who else picked up on it. It was funny to find that in all the forums, white people were trying to argue that there was no intentional referrence, because they obviously loved the film and were in denial of the obviouse.
[…] I then preceded to knock over my cup of java when I saw “Number 1: Coffee” and then “Number 3: Film Festivals”. Further readings of the list nailed me on my affinity for the works of Michel Gondry, Oscar […]
Well then this is super confusing to me: http://www.thepoint.com/campaigns/the-1st-annual-philadelphia-asian-american-film-festival
Why are the Asians infringing on this blog?
The list had me until so-called “Fact 6.” I’m a film snob, but an American film snob. There’s no way I’ll admit that a bunch of pretentious French or Italians make better films. Indian films? Ugh. I’ll take an American indie film any day.
http://twowhiteboys.com/2008/
“Fact” rebuttal:
#1 – False: But 90% think about it.
#2 – Who doesn’t?!
#3 – True
#4 – True
#5 – Huh? We are the mainstream. Don’t forget, there were sequels to Earnest Goes To Camp. Film Fest Fags are a minority, and most of us have jobs that don’t give us time to hang out of state with latte-sipping treehugging Indy lovers.
#6 – Per the law, this is True. But still,
#7 – The Dark Knight rules. 🙂
[…] White People Like — with particular attention paid to #3, #17, #40, #41, #75, & #105 amongst the many fine offerings of this […]
Is it a coincidence that a lot of your topics are also South Park episodes?
soooooo embarrassing =( lol this is so very true… haha
OMG im turning 13 august 21!!!!! byezzz♥ ppl
♥♥♥ Marissa ♥♥♥
oh my God, each post I read shows me just how predictable I am
I go to the Edinburgh and the Glasgow film festivals each year, and I only just started p[ersuing journalism in exchange for my old ambition of screenwriting/directing !
thanks for the epiphany (:
Also the longer the longer the film the better. I developed an ability to watch foreign films that could last 4 hours.
Also it is better if there is little or no plot and if there is very little dialogue or lots of monologues.
…
man dude are you white because you know use so well
“White people get can’t enough…”?
Seriously, this website is one of the most disgusting, useless pieces shit I have seen in my life. You spew facts which have as much depth as a kiddie pool, I don’t care because that’s just your own stupidity, but what ticks me off is you’re riling up a new generation of borderline retards like yourself, and stretching the gap between whites and black which so many strong, dedicated people have worked and even died to close. White people like Priuses and organic food, then I one can assume black people like fried chicken and watermelons? cut the crap and go back to school you fool!
White people also like saying: “The book was better!”
This is soooooo funny and true. Great blog. And if any white person takes this all too seriously, then find comfort in the “White people take themselves too seriously”list.
I myself used to be snowhite but drifted.
Again, this is completely wrong. Yeah, maybe a FEW white people like foreign films and film festivals…
but most of US, ABSOLUTELY NOT! Foreign Films SUCK!
With all these folks who are into film festivals I am interested in recommendations….I mean why not embrace our whiteness and cooperatively pool our knowledge to expand our cultural boundaries? Anyone remember Bleu, Blanc and Rouge? What about such gems as The Sadness of Sex, Eating or Dogs in the Basement? Or shall we just do the white thing and keep talking about talking?
So true!
You’re just pissed because you can’t read fast enough.
Closet Swede.
Haha, I actually have taken a college film class, and found it to be very interesting.
I think many people would enjoy foreign films once they learned to embrace subtitles. Dubbing looks silly and you can’t hear the inflection in their voices.
If anyone is looking for some foreign films to watch, Try “Jules and Jim”, “Maria Full of Grace”, “Old Boy”, and “Kung Fu Hustle”.
add that last part to “white people like to talk in bumper stickers” – ha!
go git ’em eric!
I can’t read!!! lol
Thanks for the suggestions, I just added them to my netflix list so I can view them on my computer since I am one of those never had a TV white folks… 🙂 What about emoticons? Is that a white thing, too?
Not even old Kung Fu movies?
I will always point out the fact that I read the book.
HAHAHA!
Did you forget the “get” in the first sentence? “White people can’t enough of Film Festivals.”
I just saw a Russian 1930’s film about a bunch of white people conquering another bunch of white people. I guess it was made before black people existed.
Very few GOOD foreign film run for hours and hours, except for LA DOLCE VITA, and that’s OK because it’s got Mastroianni and Anouk Aimee and Yvonne Furneaux, and even Lex Baxter and an ending that will break your heart.
In fact, most of the really great foreign films don’t run much longer than 90 minutes or two hours, which is what most commercial films run, unless the director is Steven Spielberg and he’s jonesing for another Best Director bowling trophy.
What I find particularly annoying are the white folks who get all tingly about trashy foreign films, particularly of the kung-fu variety. The folks back home know it’s trash, just adding subtitles doesn’t make it into Art.
This blog should be called “Stuff White Collar Democrats Like”.
I’ll bet Sarah Palin doesn’t like any of this stuff.
I bet Sarah Palin likes to take it up the ass from two black guys and a chinese midget all at once.
Oldboy is a peice of shit disgusting film that showcases the sadism of the asian mind.
Kung fu hustle was funny tho, and it shows how the filthy chinese live.
Has anyone noted that the woman on the left in this photo looks like a Scarsdale matron trying to look hip? In short, she essentially looks totally square . . .
zooey deschanel. SEXY!!!
-she bangs. Even though I don’t particularly like Sarah Palin. That’s just vile.
But it’s ironic … duh.
Why would you pick up Serbia as a strange country?
Only liberal fags like film festivals.
film is for teeth! HD baby!
You must be a Republican, annoyed by the shelacking she is getting in the Media because she is an inexperienced Governor from the least populated state in America, having as its major resources as ice, snow and views of Russia :).
Aha, you think, what I will do is post the most inane, crude and stupid comment against Sarah Palin, in the hope that people will assume I’m a Democrat supporter and thus undermine the substance of what they are saying.
Doesn’t work, but it does make you look like a prat. If however, you are a genuine Democrat supporter, you are not helping.
Its hip to be square
Being a lawbreaker (fact #6) I have to declare the following:
I don’t GO to film festivals – I come up with my own. Like last weekend I did an Oliver Platt film festival. For myself. Didn’t invite anyone. But I have taken a film class (several, in fact) and I like movies – I like foreign films and Hollywood films and Bollywood films. I like films. Some are crap and some are good. I don’t care where a movie came from, but it sometimes helps to understand the mindset of the director.
I can’t understand fact #5 – how can white people hate everything that’s mainstream when we ARE the mainstream? Are we all self-hating white people? Sure, there are a few (3.14159%) but we’re not all self-hating.
Being one of the 25% (fact #4) I have no delusions about becoming a director, screenwriter, or film maker. I’ve tried and I suck at it. I prefer to watch.
That is all.
This photo proves, in a single picture, pretty much every fact purported by this blog, plus about a half a dozen more.
Have you ever watched Hero?
There is some astounding art out there.
I still prefer the masters of anime.
And that picture is the truth.It says a thousand pretentious words.
moderately conservative fags like me – who would never, ever have an abortion – enjoy film festivals, too.
we also like watching olympic swimming and gymnastics every four years. the rest of the time we get our thrills by staring at straight guys’ crotches.
Did you forget the “get” in the first sentence? “White people can’t enough of Film Festivals.”
Hmmm you my friend have some good points and this is an interesting guess but I imagine that this person is just a sexually frustrated person who wants themselves to bang Palin. It is also likely that they will never see yours or my comments.
[…] White People Like Film Festivals By Ryan It’s true. […]
the only problem is white people cant be ‘indie’ directors. hmm.. so theres a crossroads. o dear.
you realize that indie doesn’t mean indian, but means independent, as in not hollywood, right? you’re smart.
This is so true. Especially in L.A. I’d be so relieved if I met someone that didn’t say they were an aspiring writer, actor, or director. It’s like if you say you wanna be a teacher or a chef you’re automatically outcasted or “homely.”
ahhhhhh maybe if your gay in california
Haha, my favorite line is “It is required by white person law..” Satire is great, especially when you can joke about your own culture – thanks!
Hahahahahahahahaha!
Nice.
I like the idea of film festivals, but have never actually been to one. Probably because it seems too much like work.
hummm never been to one. was working too much so I could pay for all of the social services that are given away to people that don’t work
This describes Lisa Simpson. What about the Barts and Homers of the world?
the only reason white people think foreign film is better is because really good/popular foreign film is the only thing that makes it over here (Pan’s Labyrinth, Motorcycle Diaries, Monsoon Wedding…). Most white people like to say they watch one of these that has it’s own american title and everyone has heard of. But anyone that’s sat through an annoying bollywood movie knows foreign directors can churn out crappy film as well.
This blog isn’t about Stuff White People Like unless you define “White People” as caucasians that live on the left coast and the upper right coast of the US. Oh yes…and apparently all non-hockey playing Canadians.
The people being defined here are not just the elitist liberal yuppies but the “better than thou” elitist liberal yuppies/college students. You know, the kind that think they are somehow more “aware” because they do Yoga and listen to Enya (or Beck for college students).
They’re also the kind that consider the rest as dumb southerners/mid-westerners even though we live within our means, our property values are stable, and our state budgets are balanced.
Go ahead, call me a red neck, but there is a giant stripe down the center of the US that most of these list items don’t apply to. We could care less about them. Of course we don’t have the huge media centers, so how would you know that.
I couldn’t agree more!
Mike:
U R sew friggn’ funy. I dun o what us redneks in Mennesota wudda done wid ot u stand’n up fer us!
Thanx!
Dude, chill!
Stop getting mad and own your coulture damit! lmao! Its just humor. Im black and I can admit we like fried chicken, red drinks, doing different things to our hair, our mommas, cracking momma jokes ect. ect. don’t talk about ours though. You will get slapped. Barak Obama and the list goes on. Its all in good fun. There are a lot of things That I don’t like though like Soul food and watermelon. I really don’t care for fried chicken but I will eat it lol! Its just silly humor and yall need to realize he’s making fun of himself. Please stop trippin. Yes I said trippin spelled just like that.
You are racist. The end.
agreed
wow. this is getting worse. once again, not funny, not true. this site should be name http://www.stuffonlywhitepeopleyoumetoncelike.com
dogdeck made me laugh with that post. A few of these are spot on, some are full of crap, and others I have no idea where they came from.
[…] For a humorous take on film festivals see SWPL: https://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/2008/01/18/3-film-festivals/ […]
Racism is hilarious. Not as funny as down syndrome, but still. Rock on white boy, rock on
Rock on black girl, rock on
This blog should be called stuffhipsterslike.com, seeing as it’s leaving out all of the white people who are into the mainstream stuff, and that’s a lot of whiteys.
True, I’d love to go to a Film Festival. Never been to one, but I watch Sundance channel occasionally. Never heard of the other two….I think I heard of Toronto and thought the person was talking about Canada…
I’m totally into this shit, check out http://www.thegreenlions.com
You all need to ad Foreign Films to your list.
I am just about as white as they come and I don’t like film festivals
It’s just a list for crying out loud. It does not represent every white person in the world. It does represent the general white population.
see the one about white people loving to be offended…..
These are funny, but imo they don’t even represent the general…or maybe me and my white friends aren’t really white.
These are ludicrous statements posing as Facts!
My first two shorts are in a festival this month, and I wrote another that is pending festival. You could say I bring joy to other white people. The catch? I am white.
[…] in stuff white people like […]
I found a link to your blog on my friend’s myspace page and I’m reading from the beginning.
You’re funny.
😦 I missed Film festival last year
They also love Music Festivals that last three days, where they dont have to shower, go to the bathroom outside and say they are getting closer to nature.
I like to bring black friends to movie theaters and have them yell stuff about how much white people suck during the climax of the film. Since black people fight better than white people they always protect me. For a small fee.
TRUE facts! 🙂
Seriously man.
Youre blog isnt anything speacial at all.
Just a bunch of generalizations equally true for a bunch of japanese or argentinians. Educated people in a developed society like different stuff and have different habits compared to people in countrys not so developed. It has nothing to do with skin colour.
these are frigging jokes, folks….nothin to be upset about
bahahahahaahahhahaaha pay me ima go witchu!!
Not that I don´t agree with your point, but most argentinians are white.
GET OFF IT!
Geeze.
They’re funny & true so you can bite it.
They’re not posing as Facts!
It’s obviously just poking fun and not trying to be serious, so, again. BITE IT.
Nah the guy that wrote this clearly just has douchbag white friends… probably college kids from other states now living in california for school….. sounds like every college douchbag khaki cargo short wearing white person i know as well. makes me embarassed to be white 😦 but then again still happy im not a MINORITY. oh yeah add khaki cargo shorts to your list
This is very very funny stuff. As a white man I find a little truth in most of it. I can imagine if I write a book called stuff black people like, I would have my butt handed to me, but I still like to laugh at white people too.
This is so true!
White people also like Zooey Deschanel
[…] no Latinos are doing it, Robert Redford has decided it is up to him, to put beaners in artsy movies that white people love to watch and tell their friends about. Actor Robert Redford is partnering the state of New Mexico to produce […]
This blog is making me realise how white I am (technically I’m not).
lol my white neighbor wanted to be a film director.
Huh. I fit #1 and #4 but the rest, not so much. Ah, whatever.
LOL! Very on point with this one.

I love to look at her, but I saw her in an interview and she is dumb as a post.
Don’t forget Tribeca Film Festival.

But hot
but it’s so lame how she’s always spaced out
White people certainly do not like Michael Bay, and Abraham Lincoln calls him out on it
http://lincolnsaysuncool.wordpress.com/2009/07/22/lincoln-says-uncool-michael-bay/
I should drop out of Film school then….
ugh, this is such bullllllshit. I’d love 5 minutes alone with these “writers”…
I like indie films and stuff, but that doesn’t stop me from loving a lot of Hollywood movies
awe… just go cry on your i-pod… QQ
i love this website and i’m white for every entry at least one person i know thats white comes to mind. This entry like all others is a generalization. Obviously some people take this much to personally and secretly feel like this website describes them a little too much.
Every time I see something on this list that I like I think “God damn it” and then have a little laugh.
But this one particularly hurts a little bit because I’m such a huge advocate of film fests, to the point that I’ve taken over planning my college’s trip to the Ottawa Animation Fest.
It makes me wonder if other people might view me as an “artsie” “white” sterotype, or if I come off as just liking things that I like.
It’s kinda true but I’m not white but I love film festivals who doesn’t!

For your reading pleasure
enigma da director #1 on August 29, 2009 at 11:09 pm
I’m back ya’ll and I figue I will start another lil story. I see I have enough players to make a decent little drama. After reading the post on this site, I decided to name this lil story,
“No country for dumb men”
enjoy
Let me tell you a story about a time when I almost got away with identity theft. Oh, who am I. I go by many names, but due to the fact I watched one too many tough guy movies, I call myself, Hot Foot Luke. I know, it’s a silly name, but due to the fact that I am not considered cool, hot seemed like a more logical choice. Anyways, I live in a city suburb in the mid west. I can’t disclose the actual location because,….. well, if I did, it would get more people one step closer to finding out who I am. I always had trouble in school, but I am finally about to graduate. My mommy pulled a few strings for me and convinced the principal to allow me to graduate this year. Yessss, I was starting to feel the pressure of being 23yo and in still in high school. I started to feel like, well, it just was’nt cool anymore. Anyways, my story begins, the way so many do, on a clear blue monday morning.
As my alarm clock rang and broke my slumber, I had a feeling this was going to be one of those days. I hate going to school, I hate having to wake up at 5:30 in the morning to catch the school bus. My only biggest regret though was staying up late last night watching dirty cable movies. But since I can’t get a girl friend, a nerds got to do what a nerds got to do. I get from under my sheets and I shove my teddy bear, Daisy, under the bed where no one will find her. Dear ol Daisy, she has gotten me through some really lonely nights. She used to be my lil sisters teddy, she had her all dressed up. When she went away to college last year, I took advantage of the oportunity and snatched her and hid her in my room. Her fur placed against my skin feels so natural to me, not to mention, with the lil outfit lil sis put on her, I can hide my glory hole around her private areas pretty well. The hole is nice and small, easy to miss, but nice and roomy for me to do what need to do. Daisy is a very good lover, but I have no time to day dream about it now, I have to rince the residue of me and Daisys hot late night cable porn adventure off my hands. Then again, on second thought, it will take only a minute. hehe, come here daisy.
Hot foot luke reaches underneith the bed to retrieve his beloved lover Daisy, the teddy bear. He unzips the long pajama zipper on his on peice footie pajamas and rest his love on his chest, rubbing the nose against his nipples.
“oooooh, you feel sooo good baby” he says in a slow dliberate voice.
He slowly slides the lil cheerleader bear outfit off of daisy and pulls down his underwear exposing his teddy bear pleaser tool. He slides daisy’s exposed privates down towards his lil wee wee. With a blank teddy bear look on her face, she slowly mounts mt. Luke. Hot foot shutters with pleasure. His breathing is getting deeper and more intense. Beads of sweat is starting to form along his body. Daisy continues to stare blankly forward as Luke does what he do. The pleasure is building up in Luke and he starts to thrust Daisys love hole even harder.
Now usually when Hot foot Luke has his lil make out session with his baby daisy, he is careful to lock the door to his room. The reason I brought that up is because HFL realized he did’nt lock the door as his mommy turned the door knob to enter to make sure he was up for school. She swings open the door and says……………….

enigma da director #2 on August 30, 2009 at 12:07 am
When we left off, Hot Foot Luke was in the middle of a hot steamy make out session with this little sisters teddy bear Daisy when his mommy came to check on him. She opens the door and says….
“you up my lil swee…………………OH GOOD!!!!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU LIL PERV!!!!!!!” she yells.
“MOM, IT’S NOT WHAT YOU THINK. I,I,I, I, WAS……..” he stutters.
“I DON’T WANT TO HEAR IT, OH GOOD, AND IN THE PAJAMAS GRANDMA GAVE YOU…….HOW COULD, OH GOD.”
she closes her eyes and slams the door. Luke lost his mood that morning. He throws his teddy on the floor mad and embarrassed, not to mention ashamed. But to ad to his indignity, his bedroom door opens again and his mom storms in with rubber gloves on her hands and grabs poor Daisy.
“MOM, NOOOOO!!!!” luke yells
“DEMON, this, this, this, THING, is of the devil. To hell with it” she yells as she heads to the trashcan outside. Luke can’t protest but so much. He was always a mommas boy and did’nt have very much heart. Mom ran his life. As he watched her fussing as she threw his lover into the trash, everything seemed to move in slow motion.
“How dare that lil freak embarrass me like this” she rants outloud, ” and I know this bear, We won this bear….at the amusment park (sniff), what have you done, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE…..!!!!!!” she says getting louder and louder.
” YOU NEED JESUS, you… you…. you ….bear raping FREAK!!!, it’s your sisters bear, wait til I tell her what you have been doing to all her stuffed animals. You should be shame of yourselfff.” she rants.
Fearing his neighbors may be looking, Hot Foot Luke decide not to look around out the window for fear he may see one of them listening. He sheepishly gets dressed and sneaks past his angry mother who has just came back into the house. Luke creeps out the door, to ashamed to say his usual good byes to his mother. As he closes the door behind himself, he can still here her calling him a ‘bear fucking freak’.
He walks to the bus stop up the street from his home and he feels like the whole neighborhood is watching him. The bus can’t get here fast enough he thinks to himself as he takes his walk of shame. He thought the worst was behind him til he looked up at the bus stop and saw who was standing there. He looked up with pure dread in his eyes. His mouth became dry, a lump formed in his throat and his heart just sank. Standing at the bus stop was his bully UH HUH. Uh Huh was a senior in high school, and he always got pleasure in kicking Lukes ass so when Luke saw him there, he wanted to turn around and run but his feet wouldnt let him. He just sinks his chin onto his chest deeper and takes the last few steps to the bus stop.
“hey dumbass” Uh Huh says
“yes?” Luke answers as he looks up from the ground.
That was not a very good idea, as he looked up, he was greeted by a five fingers balled up into a big fist that landed in the middle of Hot Foot Lukes face. As Uh Huh stands there laughing, Luke realizes, it’s barely 6:15 am and his day is already THIS bad, it will only get worse. The bus pulls up and everybody gets on board. Uh huh, Greg214, will talk about him later, and our zero hotfootluke.
“I’m not as happy as I should be” Luke thinks as the bus doors close behind him. I don’t want to go to school he thinks to himself, but his fate is sealed, and he still has to face the biggest threat of all once he gets on campus. But first he has to survive the bus ride to school, and with everyone, including the bus driver who is screwing his mom picking on him, it may not be as easy as it sounds.
The bus finally arrives at the school and Luke scans the area to make sure the coast is clear of other bullies. Uh huh is not paying him any attention at the moment, so he grabs the opportunity flee. As he bolts off the bus, he beelines to his home room, grabs the desk closest to the teachers desk and he waits, waiting on who else will be arriving. Waiting to see who will be using him as a punching bag next. As he stares out the door, he sees the shadows of students going back and forth. Then a shadow stops and heads into the room. Luke looks aniously at the door to see who walks in, his eyes get big and palms get sweaty as he sees……………………………

When we left off last time, hot foot luke was cowarding in his class room waiting to see who his class mates would be. Then a shadow stops and heads into the room…………
Luke looks aniously at the door to see who walks in, his eyes get big and palms get sweaty as he sees a female student walk in. He felt sense of releaf seeing her. He let his gaurd down somewhat sensing she was no threat. To make a long story short, he experieced a drama free first half of class. Special education class was very good to him this year but every nerd knows, there is one place where they are not safe. 12:00 high, lunch time. The time of milk carton showers, lunch tray ducking, and giving up your lunch and lunch money judgement. Luke is dreading this time. No protection from the teacher, he has to fend for himself, but after 23 years, he has learned a trick or two to survive this horrible hour. He would set at the far end of the losers table with his head down, blending in with the rest of the more cooler and respected nerds. This technique did not work this time. Even the freshmen gave him hell, but thats another story. He survived his first day of school, but after his bus ride home, his life would suddenly change forever.
Luke got off the school bus and headed home, he breathed a sigh of relief knowing that his nimesis Uh Huh did not ride the bus home today. He was able to walk alil more confident than usual. As he was walking home this day, thinking how he will be the man once he graduates in June, something caught his eye. He looked down and saw a opened letter for the players ball. It was addressed to Big dick louie, For you L.7 (squares) folks out there, the players ball is for the coolest of the cool. The ball was tonight at 9pm, the letter said. Use the letter as proof for entry.
“I guess the mailman dropped the letter” luke thought to himself.
“If I put on my most spiffy clothes, I could remake myself into something cool. Look the part, be the part as the saying goes” he rationalized. ” I will just pretend to be Louie, They won’t know. There will be lots of people there, who will know?”
Luke rushes home, opens the door and heads to his room. Laying on his bed was a not written by his mother that says
” My son, my lil pervert. I never thought in a million years that you would break my heart the way you did. I want you out of my house. I made arrangements for you to live with your biological dad and his boyfriend. I will not have a freak living under my roof. Start packing you things, I will take you there this weekend.”
Lukes heart sank, he then remembered his beloved Daisy. He runs outside and opens the trash can. There, laying next to the burnt out vibrator and used condoms was Daisy the bear. He grabs his bear and runs back into his room. He closes his door and immediately opens his closet looking for something to wear tonight.
As he thumbs thru his old sunday suits, he tries to figure out what would a pimp wear to the ball. He grabs his 1984 Miami Vice pink shirt with white slacks. Yeah, this is nice. He needs a crown, he looks at his old hats but can’t find anything so he heads to his mothers room. He raids her closet and finds he has hit the mother load. She has a pink and white extra wide rim hat with chicken feathers on the side.
“yeah, I can work this” he says as he trys it on.
He then heads to her jewelry box and grabs several fake gold rings and gold necklaces.
“I am rocking this baby, now for the main attraction.” he thinks.
He reaches for the heavy duty wooden hanger with the long plastic on it that drags to the floor. He grabs that hanger and removes the plastic. Under the plastic is the killer, a grey and brown muskrat fur coat. He puts on the coat and profiles infront of the long mirror.
” I am da shit!!!!” he thinks to himself.
In his eyes, he thinks he is the man. But in reality, he is a royal hot mess.
It is now 8:00, he puts on his last minute touches. His mom wont be home til late tonight, she is out working the block. The keys to the second car is hanging on the wall, he is set. He grabs the keys to the car and heads out on his lil adventure assuming the name of big dick louie. Will it work, we will soon find out…….

Hey, I love having gay sex with my servants, and burning down orphanages! I write for http://StuffRichPeopleLove.com it’s a very unoriginal/unclever site. My penis is less than two inces long, and I have trouble getting it up!
When we left hot foot luke, he was getting ready to go to the players ball as big dick louie. All dressed up and looking like a halloween throw back pimp, he dashes to the car to take it to the function. He attempts to start the car but to his dismay, it will not start.
” I don’t get it, I got the key in the ignition…. what’s the matter?” he thinks to himself as he gaze blankly at the ignition switch.
“Mom never had a problem starting it before, let me try this again”.
He pulls out the keys and re-inserts it back in the ignition. He pauses and waits.
Nothing.
“What now?” he thinks to himself as he gets out the car.” Am I suppose to do something else?”
Our pathetic lil Luke never realized he has to turn the ignition key to start the car.
He puts the keys up and decides to catch a cab to the ball, He walks to the corner and looks for a cab but there is none to be hailed, so he decides to try his hand at hitch hiking. He raises his thumb and a old rusty pick up truck stops to give him a ride.
” Hi, my name is Kenny, but people just say killkenny for fun, yucka yucka, yucka.” the driver says.
“I’m Luke, hot foot luke, can you give me a ride to this address?” he says as he hands kenny the flyer.
“Well, yep, I sure can. Get on in.”
Luke gets in the truck and they head to the function.
“1 day a cuple yeers ago i suked a big juicy dick and it was good reel good. last nite my dad stuk his tung in myz asshole and i liked it i’s like it alot mm mmm. this mornin i was wachin saved by da bell on da tv end i’s got real horny when i’s saw zak morris so i started jerking off wit a cheeze grater it bes da best tug i’s ever had than i had myz dog (whos i namd al sharpton) like my cumy dick cleen!” Kenny says to Luke.
“Me too, that Zack is soo ho….., hey wait a minute. I’m not gay dude.”
Luke caught himself. I only jerk off to the black girl on that show, I never thought about having Slater in my mouth while Skreetch pumped me in my asshole. That never crossed my mind.” Luke says.
“Oh, I apologize, with your purty lil outfit on, I just thought……”
“don’t worry bout it Kenny,” Luke says with a slight smile. that is the first positive comment someone has said to him in a while.
“So…ummm…Kenny, when your dad… er.. stuck his tongue in your bootie, did it feel good?” Luke ask nervously.
“Well yes it did. It felt alil something like……” Kenny pulls over the truck and puts it in park. He puts his hands on Lukes shoulders and gently turns him to the truck door. Luke is soo obedient. He does as instructed. He starts to breath a little heavier as Kenny undos his pants. He has’nt felt this good since his lil love session with his teddy bear. Kenny leans over and sticks out his tongue and he……….
to be continued.
Will Hot Foot Luke accidently fart on KillKenny’s tongue?
Will the police creep up from behind and shine the spotlight on the two love birds in a compremising position?
Will the aroma of man lust musk attract a rabid raccoon that will bite Kenny on the ass while he is fucking Luke in the butthole?
Stay tuned boys and girls, for the next episode of
No country for dumb men.
Thanks for the line, can you find it in the story beeeotch?

Sorry, that’s how I get through life. At work, in school and with other people. More of a Californian thing, if I wasn’t in the state of Cal. I wouldn’t be required to, then I’m one of those autistic nerds or something tries to get by in life. I’m a product of my own environment, middle-class people get down on their luck and have to face reality. I share this guy’s sarcastic sense of humor on how he perceives the world through a “white man’s” comical point of view. +
See autism boy, I can dig up alot more on your dumb ass if you continue with this race shit that you started.
Test me bitch.

Michael D, you are the darkest bump on your moms fat butt and it is time you apologize to all the fine people on this site. We endured your stupidity for far too long and now it’s time to PAY WHAT YOU OWE! (where have i heard that before?) 😉 You stole my name and said stupid things, attempting to smear my already humble name. You posted the lamest comments known to mankind and hijacked entire sites for your own stupid amusment. Well judgement day is here, I see your sorry but decided to run like the wuss that you are, but not before you pay what you owe. I still have my name BEEEEOTCH, what about you? YOu can dish it but you can’t take it. You want US to leave you alone dummy, APOLOGIZE. Apologize for being a moron, for being a blogging terrorist who writes boring post, for calling me UH HUH and other folks on this site. If your dumb butt can’t figure out that their was more than one person sticking foot up you ass, then your a moron. It’s a shame that the best post ever posted with YOUR name were writen by other people. So apologize and all will right with the world again. We found you once, we will do it again.

“and you will know my name as the LORD, when I lay my vengence upon thee”
I saw this site on http://www.DanielDickey.com(the MTV VJ) and must say it is just as funny!!
Did this guy make StuffJewishPeopleLike.com too?
These are all funny and great, but really this is richer white people, or white people in California, Portland or Seattle, New York or living abroad. I hardly think any of these define white people in the midwest….
Yes, I’m white from California. And this really just appears to be a list of “white people from San Francisco like”
Is this enigma? You are always on this site… get a life man.
I had a friend at university in England who once made the statement: “I love subtitled films”.
White people also like not talking aloud in theaters.
this site is full of utter drivel, can’t believe radio 4 gave you airtime.
Don’t be such a white person 😀
or maybe just liberals.
The site is stupid and you are stupid for posting it on every thread.
this so true and it really annoys me….im sorry other white people, but i enjoy mainstream stuff 🙂
[…] Brother, Where Art Thou? Jump to Comments Unlike Wes Anderson and Film Festivals, the Coen brother’s aren’t Stuff White People like. (I assumed they would be, so fact […]
The truth hurts 🙂
uhhh you used wearing sombreros twice, what your tiny little pea sized brain couldn’t come up with any thing else a mexican likes. Just goes to show how really under developed your frontal lobe is. Any way, you stupid idiot, you should really double check your racist diatribes before posting. Have a nice day 🙂
Fact #3 – If white people aren’t going back packing, they generally like to travel with a specific purpose.
Am I to assume that non-white people like to wander around aimlessly then? That’s just a stupid generalization.
This site never fails to amaze me.
Check out this other great site at http://www.SomethingYouShouldRead.com
I’m sorry, but this is so very wrong. I never meet people at film festivals who are just there to be there. Most people have a reason such as actually being film makers. This site is dumb and pretty wrong about most everything…i will not be coming back
If you don’t get the joke, then i think you staying off this site is for the best. If you took this seriously, there is something wrong with you.
This site is funny.
But the comments section is even funnier 🙂
you sound like the wrong kind of white person.
Sounds like the film scene in Columbia, Missouri.
They’ll have weeks of interviews with the local newspapers and have all kinds of anal-retentive casting calls so they can make a 15 minute film that looks like it was shot by a 10 year-old.
Another indie film I saw – 20 minutes of footage from a traveling car in Olympia, Washington. Intentionally out focus. Everbody in the audience loved the film or at the very least was afraid to admit that they hated it.
#132 What white people like – being afraid to admit that you hate an indie film.
dude, i think you are so on the mark. haha!
I literally never get sick of this web site!
Here’s another good one: http://www.SomethingYouShouldRead.com
Fact #7 – White people earn credibility by being into film from strange countries – “oh you liked Batman? Yeah, I didn’t see it, I’m really into Serbian film now. They had a great retrospective at the Vancouver Festival.”
ha ha ha ha! what a priceless comment.
#132 What white people like – being afraid to admit that you hate an indie film.
ha ha ha ha, that is sooooooooooooo on the mark.
This website is ridiculous. All intelligence is out the window.
Obviously it’s supposed to be funny/sarcastic. Are you really that offended?
Hey…check this out.
Artist starts out at film festivals.
http://travelinggallery.wordpress.com/
lol, I died at the “Batman” part. Awesome 🙂
I know so many people that think this way too…anything mainstream is crap in their mind.
well sure, Mat. As the post stated, most white people have/are/will take a film course 😉
Sounds like this post hit you right on the mark, and bruised your nose a little, heheh.
Somebody hasn’t had his coffee and Serbian dramedy.
not true. I’m white, and the kind of white that sometimes likes indie. But recently I told my housemate that i hated the indie film she liked so much.
(but it was also because that indie films was so “totally indie” and “overacted” and like “we fly into the sky and dissapear” kindaindie, so not indie indie, but just indie)
(what i actually mean is that white people hate indie because all the white people like indie)
Anyway, i was wondering, what are white people? The site is more talking about YUP’s, young urban professionals. Or environmently invonveld higher educated postmodern people. Does “white people” means something different than people with a white skin?
I grew up working-class/ non-white. First college grad in my family. Worked my way through. Filed chapter 11 afterward. Didn’t have insurance for 8 years…etc… You get the picture. I am NEW in the white world.
Yes, I can get a bit far by being the token non-white, but what I really need is to read this blog to do things other white people do. I’m trying desperately to integrate in San Francisco, and this site is VERY helpful to me. I had no idea how many directors I really need to be able to reference at office parties. And I saw only one Dane Cook routine. How was I to know which circles would be offended by a mere reference to one of his jokes?
Thanks!
Oh, and you stand corrected. It’s not that white people “like film festivals. It’s that white people say “film.” Period.
White people LOOVE getting into film festivals.

[…] Film Festivals […]
F*** film festivals. I’m in my second semester of college, and am no longer a motion pictures major. Foooorget that. Film history? Who gives a flying f***? I for one am not interested in learning about film noir or whatever else it is we talked about that I didn’t give a sh*t about.
Same that crap for some real film nerd with some “message” for society. Sweet Jesus, f*** indie films.
this seems like what white psuedo hipsters like. when i think of white people i think of the fat mainstream. i am white, i like film festivals, I drink coffee.. but guess what, so do all of my black / asian / mexican friends!
you should change “white people” to “people who feign interests to look cool”
although i guess that doesn’t roll off the tongue as well..
i respect your opinion but, dude, there is so much to gain by learning what the avant gardé artists in your field have experimented with. You may not find it immediately palatable, but the reason they teach you that shit in college to broaden your understanding of your craft.
Just because something is different than what you think you might want to create should not negate its educational value.
“I for one am not interested in learning about film noir or whatever else it is we talked about that I didn’t give a sh*t about.”
You can’t simply teach students the mainstream run of the mill formulaic pictures because, believe it or not, the people trying to inspire their students to make Great Lasting Films don’t want you following formulas to make lots of money or whatever you were studying film for.
In order to create truly great art, you must have a keen understanding of the art that provided the foundation for the medium as it stands today.
It is in this way only that you will rise above and embrace your personal style, not held back by a misunderstand of or an absence of knowledge of a particular style of cinema.
But then again school isn’t for everyone and some people are naturally gifted and talented enough that they cant just spew out genius without having to analyze what other geniuses have.
Things Republicans Hate:
http://thethingsrepublicanshate.com/
[…] When I saw two articles in a week that covered the booming Williamsburg craft moonshine industry, I knew that smug had gone mainstream. You’ll see no shortage of people riding overpriced vintage bicycles with ironic sunglasses this spring, and soon you’ll spot people shouldering their NPR tote bags on the way home from the farmer’s market. I’m guilty of all these things (excluding the tote), but I get a little disgusted feeling if I hear someone mention about their compost setup and taste in indie film. […]

agreed. This is all about hipsters and how the world revolves around their justin bieber haircuts and second hand store look that says “i dont care about what you think of me…but really I care sooooo much”.
I think you miss the point of this whole website. It’s funny. It’s healthy in a society to mock the majority.
Yes, I’ve been to film school but didn’t end up working in the industry. I like indie and foreign films, I make sure I go to the film festival in my home town every year. I’m a fan of Mads Mikkelsen, Takeshi Kitano and Lars Von Trier and when I tell people that I feel better about myself.
Dumba$$
LOL I saw this blog on http://www.DanielDickey.com (The MTV VJ) and love it just as much!
According to this recent interview Christian Lander, the guy who started this blog, doesn’t read the comments on the blog anymore because they upset him too much. He also says he doesn’t remove troll comments either, which explains all the troll comments on the Obama thread. Anyhoodle it’s a good interview and gives a real insight into where he was coming from when he started his Stuff White People Like blog.

I like Serbian films. Kusturica is a genius! Dude, I am white to the core.
Kusturica and who else? Or he is the only one in Serbia? Does a Serbian filmmaker needs to be a genius in order to be liked?

I’m white but I must say I’ve never been to a film festival or ever plan on going to one xD
I feel lame suddenly because not only have I been to many film festivals, I was on the VIP list at a gay one for doing their IT work pro bono, used it as a write off, got the free advertising, and used the bragging rights of being gay friendly to get laid. I also took film lecture. I just realized how white I am.
Missed the real number 1. White people like being white, Go White.
Fact #1 – 90% of white people have taken a film class at some point in their life.
We’ve grown up with heavy exposure to movies and TV it’s not surprising we’re interested in it.
Fact #2 – White people like feeling smart without doing work – 2 hours in a theater is easier than 10 hours with book.
No. White people lead busy lives and don’t see the point of learning about something 120 hours when we can learn about it in two.
Fact #3 – If white people aren’t going back packing, they generally like to travel with a specific purpose.
Don’t most people?
Fact #4 – 75% of white people believe they either have the potential to or will become filmmakers/screenwriters/directors at some point.
75% of the white people I know don’t believe that at all.
Fact #5 – White people hate stuff that is ‘mainstream’ – so they go to film festivals where they see movies that every other person in their demographic wants to see. It’s a pretty sweet way to rebel.
No. I hate soulless formulaic shit. My natural reaction to it boredom.
Fact #6 – It is required by white person law, that you publicly declare that foreign cinema is better than Hollywood Cinema, and on par with Indie Film.
But that would fly in the fact face of being politically correct and not making sweeping generalizations.
Fact #7 – White people earn credibility by being into film from strange countries – “oh you liked Batman? Yeah, I didn’t see it, I’m really into Serbian film now. They had a great retrospective at the Vancouver Festival.”
See response 6.
I’m sorry your comment is HILARIOUS! I know what you mean! I’m bi-racial (African-American and German) and my husband is African American. We picked this book up in a “coffee” shop, because I was looking for a book on “screen plays”. We had just gotten back from the farmers market, where I was inquiring about selling my own produce there (true story). No wonder we’ve been accused of being so “white”! I swear…he and I could not put this book down! We were seriously laughing aloud, pointing to one another declaring: “OMG you so totally do that…I do that…we soooo do THAT!” Not to mention I practice Buddhism, love foreign film, tried to recently find a Kabbalah center near me, drink lots of coffee and wine, and hope to become a screenwriter some day, but not before spending some time in Uganda where I’ve been asked to take part in a research project on the black rhino (true story). I also scuba dive, and ride horses—gosh, it’s getting worse and worse isn’t it?
Oh well, I guess we’re just white in black bodies–he..he! I love it, we are the best of both worlds I suppose! Pretty cool!
Wow…way to take this waaay too seriously, dude.

Oh well, I can’t say I’m no racist but not that blunt.
Too funny=the truth is I can relate
#3. Eminem
This person without question may very well be the only white man in America who can call a black man the N-word to his face and get away with it (especially if he’s rhyming with it). Black people love Eminem! He is regarded in some cases to be the greatest rapper of all time. And has on numerous occasions been regarded as being “a black man trapped in a white man’s body.” Having one of his albums is an easy way to gain a black friend. Whatever you do, under any circumstance, do not say his lyrics are weak. That will only make him/her question your knowledge in the field of hip hop and incite a hour long “debate.”Even worse than that is assuming that Eminem is racist. That’s another hour.
But this can be tricky sometimes because although they say he’s the greatest rapper they don’t like other races (especially whites) to bring him up first in a “whose the greatest rapper” discussion. The best way to handle this is to bring up a either a hip hop legend like Mos Def or a up and coming artist like Tyler the Creator. That’ll open the floodgates to the rap topic and he’s eventually going to come up. Knowing verses to his rhymes (on the album but not on the radio) seals the deal.
“oh you liked Batman? Yeah, I didn’t see it, I’m really into “A Serbian Film” now.” would get a very different response.
Strange country? How is Serbia a strange country? Serbia’s culture is amazingly rich and its people are some of the most hospitable in the world. Great to see you have also highlighted (probably unintentional) the lack of knowledge for other cultures by some westeners.
Sincerely,
proud Serb

[…] #3 Film Festivals | Stuff White People Like – Jan 18, 2008 · White people can’t enough of Film Festivals. Especially Sundance, Toronto, and Cannes. The reason why they love them so much can be due to a …… […]
Sure, I can get into a good indie or foreign film if I’m interested enough, but I can’t be fucked going to film festivals. They’re too expensive, the seats are almost always too closely packed together (and at 6’3″ I have trouble fitting into seated areas anywhere) and once you’re sitting through a boring film, you’ve really got nothing else but your imagination. If I find a film I like, I’ll just buy the fucking DVD. I can watch it from the comfort of my own home and save a couple hundred bucks in the process.
You ought to take part in a contest for one of the greatest websites on the internet. I am going to highly recommend this website!
I had not hear that festivals are happen very often. But I had seen many famous actors from films https://viooz4k.net/ in Liverpool.
Vagina festival always in the vagina verse. You can find Indie, chinkie, blackie spicie whitey, always pinkie. Once you enter the Vagina Verse you will never leave. It is just one ongoing orgasm.
