This is a new feature where we try to find the locations around the world that are beloved and frequented by white people.
This new feature examines the all of the places or “spots” around the world where white people like to be and be seen. It can provide valuable information about locations in your city or the cities you plan to visit where you can observe, meet, and learn valuable information about white people.
The Place:
Les Puces de Paris Saint Ouen a.k.a The Paris Flea Markets
Location:
rue des Rosier and surrounding (map)
Saint Ouen, France 93400
The Paris flea market contains many authentic treasures from Europe’s past, including furniture, art, and various knickknacks. Though many white people could acquire these products through the internet, by purchasing it at the Paris flea market they are able to tell their friends “Oh, I found that at the Paris flea market. Have you been? It’s life changing, I swear I wish I could move to Paris.”
“I think one of the greatest regrets of my life is that I was at the Paris flea market and there was this beautiful table/chair/painting/cup/sword, and I thought that I would find another one like it back home. Well, ten years later and I still haven’t found it. Quel Dommage.”

If there is a “white spot” in your town and you’d like to share it with the world, or just ruin it by having more white people go there. Please send an email with the name, location, reason why white people like it, a proper thing to say about it and a photo. Put “White Spots – <your city name>” as the title. If selected, we will put up a a shout out and a link to the site of your choice.
Stuff White People Like

-white person #9
White people do love their knick-knacks.
You can’t beat Paris when it comes to travel bragging rights!
http://www.jonesview.wordpress.com
Hmm… not as entertaining as your usual posts.
The masses want your comedical satire, not a travel channel special!
Paris is full of Queers….
Wanna Know What They Like????
Stuff Queer People Like
http://stuffqueerpeoplelike.wordpress.com
I thinks this falls under the “American” not “white” people category.
Paris is wonderfully inside-out, to American eyes. You can walk around the nice parts. The slums are way out in the ‘burbs.
oh, don’t turn it all commercial and shit. you’re selling out.
If Prague is the “new Paris”, what’s the “new Prague”?
If you can’t afford to go to Paris, how about seeing “Paris, Texas” at the new art-house cinema in Omaha?
I like the Google ads this attracts: “White Spots on Throat”, “White Tongue Coating?”, etc.
oh my GOD. this is so funny.
i spent a summer ‘backpacking’ around Europe with a Eurail pass + youth hostel card. this was before the EU.
when i came back to the states, i used to go on and on about:
*seeing Vaclav Havel at an art exhibit in Prague
*drinking wine by candlelight, with a friend on his houseboat, on the Seine
*watching performance artists rapel off of the side of an old, bombed out building in East Berlin. then going downstairs to the bar to drink + listen to jazz.
*climbing down the stairs on Ios, drunk off our asses in the wee hours of the morning.
etc, etc.
Actually some of the slums in Paris attend the Flea Market with great regularity.
There’s a section set quite a bit off from the white folks Paris flea market that is best characterized as a thieves market.
Close enough so that you can see down into it, but you really wouldn’t want to go in.
Unless you are a very stupid white person.
Next you should do Stuff Parisians like: Calling the Muslims who burn cars in southern france every night “youths.” It is Jihad people.
Spot-on.
Paris is a HUGE upper-middle class, white, touristy mega destination. Probably higher than London.
Foreign, yet safe.
Exposure to the French language is considered de rigueur for social climbing in the upper rungs.
And of course the Lycee Francais kiddie schools are most highly prized by social climbers…
Elite bragging rights for traveling to Paris have been eroded by frequent flyer miles, tour packages and every other company that inundates the place with mid-level employess sent there on business.
Superiority may be restored with a vengeance by pinpointing exactly what you saw in the City of Light that was distinct from what was seen by the-less-than-extraordinary white people you are holding hostage to your insufferable account at a dinner party.
“When you were in Paris, Mike, did you happen to get to the Les Puces de Paris Saint Ouen…Oh, I forgot, you don’t speak French. Loosely translated that means the Paris Flea Markets…What do yo mean “no,” Mike. You mean to tell me you flew all the way to Paris and missed the Flea Markets! Well, Mike you missed the best part of the city. Dammit, Mike you missed everything. If you missed the flea markets, you might as well have stayed home and watched reruns of Seinfeld.
I don’t know if i agree with the formula change. This post is too obscure for me
Have you done an entry on Spring Break? Kind of ties in with this…white people (especially young rich white college kids) love spring break.
Guess I’m not white. I’ve been to Paris, accompanied by my Chicana classmate, and we did not visit this flea market. We did the touristy stuff, like visiting Jim Morrison’s grave, that the right kind of white people would probably look down on.
Yes, and “antiques roadshow” may be the most White show on TV. Only Whites have family heirlooms and the desire to pass them on to keep White culture going.
Too bad so many White punks these days don’t value passing on their genes similarly anymore.
Buying antiques is a disaster on ebay, its very risky buying non-standardised products without seeing them first hand.
White people actually do have to go to Paris to buy these things ( or at least down to their nearest auction house).
Nice to see google has actually managed to provide some appropriate ads for the site – ‘Asian girl’s for dating’ that has whitey all over it.

I don’t really understand why your recent posts have begun using SO many track-back posts to earlier entries. It gets redundant.
Paris is perfect because they put the trash in the ‘burbs (you know, the place where they burn cars every few months and riot). By keeping the trash in the ‘burbs, the French keep crime and slime down in the core of Paris and thus the city looks like a film set. If America had done this, its cities would still be crime-free and liveable, rather than populated by gang-bangers, six-pack willies and an impoverished third world migrant population wandering around in a daze like extras from a zombie movie.
That’s why whites like ‘Paris in the spingtime’.

“Quel Dommage.”
VERY White People!
gotta love the feeling of running outta ideas
and scrambling to come up with something
well
i bet theres no flea markets in the hood
so u nailed this one on the head.
good job
This post is weak. Up to now, this blog has addressed many of the things rich white people get into. It has mysteriously left out some real obvious things like sailing, but on the other hand has done well to cover a lot of white stereotypes, all based on a basic black-white stereotype that all white people have lots of money, a stereotype that unfortunately holds no water once you meet white people beyond the exurbs. The main flaw with this post is that rich white Americans refuse to go to anywhere in Europe anymore, much less France, which was condemned by the media anti-American. White people stopped going decades ago. Why spend weeks in a big city that forces you to walk endlessly down confusing streets populated with unfriendly whites, blacks, muslims and other threatening people who are not there to serve. This is why most wealthy white Americans (or middle class people with charge cards) go to tropical resorts where you don’t have to go anywhere but the bar, the beach and restaurants that serve predictable food. Resorts also are staffed by consistently well-scrubbed, well-trained, friendly locals, many of which can direct you to some weed. Anyone who wants the idea of Europe can go to the Caymans. I think this post may speak to wealthy white Canadians, who are more connected to France through ancestry.
Dammit!! I’m never the Frist person to make a comment!
My inlaws have just left for a three month sojourn to Paris.
‘nuf said.
Nobody in the US, outside Louisiana, ever says “quel” anything. This post is tres Canadien.
Europe is now positively threatening if you have an American accent. Not only do the white locals bristle when they hear an American accent, but most European cities are now festering with angry muslim youth: and they definitely don’t dig perky Americans on holiday. No, today’s Europe will make most Americans feel very uncomfortable.
So what cities do non-white people like to visit, then? I’m sure only white people could enjoy Paris.
This site was mildly amusing for awhile. That time has passed.
Just one more reason to visit for white people.
http://stuffcollegepeoplelike.wordpress.com
I am white and i like it 😛
Paris? Really? Not nearly unique or authentic enough.
I beg to differ, from those that say this blog is running out of ideas. This entry is SPOT ON, and tres’ authenique.
I am very white, as is my wife, and we frequently thrill people that come within ten feet of us with endless stories of our trip to Paris.
It’s how we know we are enlightened…
Paris, Smarish, White folks really love the Greek Island of MYKONOS! It’s hard to get to, really outrageously expensive, nicest in April and October but most chances to go are in July and August. Oh and extra points for being near some of the navels of the ancient (white) world Delos and Athens…so you can be a culture- vulture as well as an exotic sybarite. MOre reasons to love it? TOns of gays! Rare flora! Nude beaches! Sunburns! Weird drinks (ouzo, anyone?), Lots of Northern Europeans getting drunk and tan. Weird foods(octapus anyone?)….and the most sought after flip flops on the planet….hand made leather ones that will last a lifetime, and get a lifetime of chic chat mileage back in the Hamptons. And…all that exoticism and history is COMPLETLY SAFE. NO RISK, except to your budget….and that’s good for chic chat too!! And if you are really really lucky you can rent my villa there!
France of course has a more productive economy than America.
No, really, it does! While American per capita GDP is marginally higher than France, Americans also work hundreds more hours per year on average than The Frenchman.
On a per hour worked basis – the key indicator of economic productivity – the French are actually slightly more productive than the Americans, and have been for twenty years, according to OECD and the consensus of the economic community. This really shouldn’t be the case, but it is.
Stats:
White spots-Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, NY
White people love Bay Ridge and do you know why? The Century 21 department store! It is rated #1 by Zagat and is a magnet for bargin hunters. Anything and everything that is imported from Europe is on sale for half price or less! Pucci, Furla, D&G, Prada, all for the taking!
The store is huge and unlike the lower Manhattan store, it’s not as crowded. Plus, who wants to look at Ground Zero while doing some retail therapy? Really, too depressing!
In Bay Ridge you’ll find the shopping relaxed and the name brand names abundent. There is a seperate building just for linens, kitchenware, toys, and luggage. White people love open spaces and this part of Brooklyn offers just that. Bay Ridge is located on the Upper Bay so after shopping, and some great middle eastern food, one could stroll by the water.
Be warned, although the shopping is great at Century 21, after 11am on a weekday it becomes a zoo. Meaning too many white people and their precious brood, screaming to get the hell outta there!
I have some very white friends who just took off to Paris last week.
BORING!
BORING!
BORING!
BORING!

Every post is a rehash of a former one.
Basically white people want to be unique and make everyone else feel inadequate. We get it.

How can you say she is NOT running out if ideas?
This is probably the tenth time shes said something along the lines of
“white people like to make friends feel inadequate by telling them their version of ____ is nothing like the version they had while in ______. “Add local phrase and post.
YAWN!
A great White People Spot is “Zora’s Sandals” in the city of Charlotte Amalie on the Island of St. Thomas. The leather for the Sandals is hand cut and fitted to your foot. This is done by an Island woman. You have to go back later in the week for a fitting, and the sandals are hand sown together while you are wearing them. Then she takes them off, and you come back in 3 days before your flight leaves, and pick them up. This is definitely a White person experience.
Do I need to explain why White Women love the place? I think the cheapest sandals start at $250.00 Which is why White men hate it!
Harlem needs to be on this list ASAP.
That is some funny $hit.
White people love to ski. My friends love to go to Whistler, Aspen, Jackson Hole, Killington…and all the other big places to ski. It seems to be a competition of some sort b/c one friend will say- oh I’m going to Killington this weekend. Then the other would chime in by saying- I’m going out West in a few weeks…I hear the ski is amazing there. Hahaha.
What I find disconcerting about SWL is that posters, who supposedly have benefited from the best schooling that is offered, demonstrate such poor spelling skills, e.g. “bargin” above. Quelle dommage!
Okay, I love this site but you guys seem to be running out of stuff (which I realise is only natural). How about doing a post on ORGANIZATION? White people love to organize EVERYTHING into the smallest distinct categories that they can think of.
Paris Hilton?!
White people also love to have sex with students in public schools.
We find these insane but true stories every day at DetentionSlip.org

*Perez Hilton meets Drudge for Education News!*
Why not say white people like Utah, or Green Bay Wisconsin. This was a retarded waste of two minutes.
http://detentionslip.org IS THE SH*T!!!!
EVERY TEACHER IN OUR DISTRICT READS IT EVERY DAY!
LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!
haha, this makes me LOL, my parents are older and incredibly white, as their whole house is filling up with useless knick-knacks…
http://www.claysol13.wordpress.com
Don’t forget. Parisians treat American whites with disdain and contempt, and guilt ridden white folks love it!! Its one place in the world they can go where they’re actually treated like second class citizens.
Additionally, its a way for white people to shine on their foreign language skills by saying “well, if you speak a little French, I’ve found that Parisians are the friendliest, nicest people you’ll ever meet!”.
This is great, because it allows those who wasted 3 years in college taking French to feel superior to other white people who wasted their time getting something other than an Arts Degree.
Keep ’em comin’ clander.
By far, you are the smartest person I have ever seen on the internet.
Worth it, just for the picture..hahaha

White people don’t like white people who like mobile homes, pickup trucks, multiple dogs roaming about ridden with ticks, low income Baptists, bisquits and gravy, trash in the front yard, food stamps, GPC cigarettes, Mountain Dew…
I second that. I feel like, as with the football (soccer) post, there should be a “Europeans not included” disclaimer.
MINI COOPERS. LONDON. DUBLIN. GUINNESS.
These are all very white.
-Cheers (so is signing posts cheers)
Clander, I think another way you could branch out (necessary, as even white people are limited to liking a finite amount of things) is “upcoming white events.” For example, the Virginia Gold Cup at The Plains. Rather white, to say the least.

What a great blog with fantastic list !
Yes Flea Markets are the best…I love them in Paris and London and San Francisco too
Yawn…. this entry is the ultimate suckage. …Does this signal an end to a great website?
The Gourmet Ghetto in Berkeley!
Great post. I suggest Madrid’s tapas bars for sure.
Before I get back to work, I would like to refer the respectable authors of this weblog to the following story, available on NPR internet radio!
FOUND- White people in the news
“Study Abroad Students Gone Wild in Italy”
All Things Considered, NPR, March 23, 2008.
http://www.npr.org/
“I think this post may speak to wealthy white Canadians, who are more connected to France through ancestry.”
Canadian ancestry = Scotland and England. Quebec is one culturally isolated province.
I doubt that the really wealthy give a rats ass about (mythical) ‘anti-americanism’, since they pay large amounts of money to have people pander to them, they’re probably not affected by it. It’s the middle class that has given up on Europe.
Lovely that a post on Paris becomes an excuse for Americans to whine about mythical ‘anti-americanism’ and complain about muslims. The irony that Paris gets the ‘white spot’ vote, despite being annoying to Americans precisely for its excessive number of brown people.
In any case, it seems to fit the tenor of this blog, you’d have to be more specific than Paris. Paris as a tourist site is also popular with the Wrong Kind of White People.
Instead: the Marais neighborhood. Big cultural points with the added bonus (for white people) of not having to look at art or read about world history. Plus, you get to say “the mah-ray,” there are fewer brown people and tourists from Omaha, and it’s ‘culturally diverse’ in a Safe for White People Way: gay people and Jewish people.
Funny that Americans think that the French and Europeans are very liberal, but they cleverly mask strong anti immigrant/foreigner distrust/very conservative sentiments. When they are amongst other Europeans they are themselves, when they are around Americans, they try to act like enlightened beings.
I am guilty as charged. I spent two hours wandering around trying to find the damn thing one morning so I could bring shit back to brag to my friends about. I finally did find it and now have bragging rights because I found some amazing vintage lingerie from the 1930’s that none of my unsophisticated, plebian girlfriends have.
P.S.- I also “picked up” a taste for burgers with an egg on top over there- when my friends ask why the hell I am eating them that way, I tell them that’s what they do in Paris and it is actually very delicious, and they immediately shut up and mumble about how they will have to try it some time.
Shouldn’t this be called ‘Stuff Uptight White People Like’?

last time I was in Paris (and I am an African American) -I ran into some white Americans who were clearly disappointed that they hadn’t gotten completely away from people like me… Thing is, with all its problems, Europe is still less racially stressful than the good old US. Point is-I was as disappointed to run into good old American disdain as they were in viewing me… Mon dieu!
Philadelphia is not going to make the list. Check out why.

Of course they have flea markets in low income/urban/wrong kind of white places. They just call them swap meets. And I’ve been to Paris. Not impressed at all. Maybe I went to the wrong cafe for enlightened discussion on U.S. international politcal policies.
I agree with JoJo re: the Marais. This post had so much potential – indeed I was giddy when I read the title but utterly disappointed with the content. Not to mention the fact that Paris is full of enormous, eclectic flea markets and the one you happened to pick out isn’t even in Paris proper but rather in the suburbs.
White people love Santa Monica, The Getty Center, and basically the entire westside of Los Angeles.
You can dial any number with the prefix 310 and you’ll reach a white person.

stopping puppy mills is a pretty white preoccupation. all humane society stuff is. i agree that we should not be cruel to animals… but on the other hand, i’m not willing to pay another $1 for my kung pao chicken to stop puppy mills.
White people love the westside of Los Angeles. Dial any number with a 310 prefix and you’ll likely reach a white person.

Mega white spot: Weaver Street Market, Carrboro, NC. http://www.weaverstreetmarket.coop
It is my opinion that this blog has gone from being clever, often brilliant satire to just listing dull and mildly insulting observations.
bayridge sucks…almost as bad as flushing or the rest of ‘wrong’ island.
nice try you bridge and tunnel loser.
McCain hates Paris.
Oh, good.
Yesterday, it was SF (where I live).
Today, it’s Paris, where I JUST went on vacation. And because this is how it goes, of course I blogged about my experience at the Flea Market.
I am so ashamed.
Paris would be much nicer without the French.
oh! this one goes perfectly with The Hills and Yelle – more white people favorites. France is so in with white Americans. haha
Holy Crap. My whole town is a white spot. Scottsdale, AZ. What Miami is to New Yorkers, Scottsdale is to midwesterners and Canadians.
Where else can you buy mini dog clothes for $75 a sweater that has about as much material as my underear?
People drive to the grocery store in their golf carts.
If Scottsdale AZ isn’t on your list…maybe it’s one I should clue you into!
VA Gold Cup is more for the Lexus SUV or Jaguar crowd than for the Prius crowd. Also, Prius drivers (vegetarians) will likely take offense at the treatment of horses.
C’mon, Paris is entry-level stuff. “Paris? Oh, I guess that’s cool…..I just came back from Dubrovnik.”
“No, today’s Europe will make most Americans feel very uncomfortable.”
Hmmm… was this written by a white person whose international travel has pretty much been limited to Europe?
Dubrovnik is so 2003.
Don’t tell people where the white people are! What about the poachers! They’re just trying to round us up and create white ghettos, then before you know it , a Eurocaust! Oh wait, that’s already happening.
Buenos Dias.
Mr. Whitey. Doubtlessly you enjoy stalking the halls of the Page Museum in Los Angeles, calling out people for saying “The La Brea Tar Pits” with taunts of “you idiot, “La” means “The” and “Brea” means “Tar” so what your dumb ass is really saying is: “The The Tar Tar Pits.”
Are all Americans (sniff) such insufferable white pedants as yourself?
May you be thrown as a living sacrifice into the La Brea Tar Pits and become fossilized. (Just kidding, old sport).
Paris est beau n’importe quel temps de l’année, mais surtout au Printemps. J’ai été à Paris une douzaine de fois et ne l’ai jamais fait au marché aux puces.
Il y a la fois toujours suivante.
One of the main contentions of the is website seems to be that pretentious Americans tend to put Europe on a pedestal above other parts of the West (especially the U.S.). Overall, I think that American aristocrats do have an inflated opinion of Europe. Otherwise it wouldn’t be so easy to sell them on concepts like “German Engineering” (how’s that 3 year old Volkswagon running these days ;).
One irony (yeah, I know ;), though, is occasionally these discussions do illustrate facets of Western culture where Americans and Europeans really _are_ different!
Krakow is the new Dubrovnik.
It shows the interconnectivity, dumb ass. We get to see how all of this ties together. You are a f**king moron.
You are such a jackass that it’s hard to resist calling you a super prick. You obviously have no comprehension skills whatsoever, or you would know that you are absolutely talking about the Wrong Kind of White People. The RIGHT kind of whites are most definitely still going to Paris.
Why do women love and hoard shoes but always say “my feet are so ugly” while some men fetishize shoes and eroticize the female foot that slips into them? Any evolutionary psychologists out there? Or as you feminists like to say, “What’s that about?”
I have never and probably never will understand white peoples obsession with Paris. It’s just like the rest of Europe – boring.
OMG. So many people commenting without knowing the SWPL history. White people are only interested in the APPEARANCE or uniqueness or authenticity.
Study up, jerkwad.
“Berkeley Swap meet”
No way. The Berkeley Bowl is a million times whiter a white spot.
Don’t be. You are one of the beautiful people.
White people often make typos when blogging because a) they are tired, b) they are drunk, c) they are in a hurry, d) they are trying to be hyphy; or, most pathetically, they are trying to moon their inner school marm.
Definitely Seattle (as someone else already mentioned) but more specifically
*Pike Place Market, Seattle:
advantages- original Starbucks, flying fish, lots of artsy hand-blown glass-, hand-carved wood-, hand-thrown clay-, and hand-made vaguely tribal ‘stuff’, T-shirts galore
Also
*Artisan Market, Cambridge, UK:
advantages- you must live/ work wi 50K of Cambridge to display there
*Getty Villa (not Getty Center), Los Angeles, CA
advantages- smaller, off the PCH not the 405, requires advance tickets to visit, architecture and gardens are GORGEOUS and ‘Roman inspired’
[Huntington Library/Gardens might do as substitute for Getty Villa as is also small, difficult to get to, has gorgeous gardens, and contains one of the two extant copies of Hamlet’s first quarto {the other is in the British Library}; MOCA is not an acceptable substitute]
Other things white people like:
* Organization/ California closets/ Tupperware
* Statistics/ Graphs and Charts/ any news or journal article containing the same
* Biographies/ Published books of old letters or journals/ Anything that feeds their voyeuristic tendencies in an authentic, literary fashion
*Large, obsessively organized, and beautifully displayed record/LP collection (also large expensive sound systems)
*Morbid Self-Analysis
Did I mention I love this site? Keep it up!
Is Krakow really the “now” place? Or are you joking? (seriously) I’m out of the loop about what’s cool today.
Is this an ad?

Read the “About us” section. It screams white.
Coming soon to a McDonald’s near you: The Egg McBurger. Tell me something cerebralslip, do the French really call the Quarter Pounder with Cheese a Royal with Cheese?
In Europe there are less blacks, mexicans and otherwise fat people. Who wouldn’t want to travel there for those reasons alone? Get real.
Most Americans are associated with the Israel/US axis, that’s the reason. Most Europeans and the world at large, China too, see the US as a completely israelified nation. 😦
White people love Paris because they can feast on their quaint cwah-sans and caf-fays in the morning without having to see and smell the rioting “ethnics” in the banlieues
Bay Ridge = Saturday Night Fever
It’s better than the black or puerto rican or orthodox jew neighborhoods however, by far.
Burlington, Vermont needs to be added to White Places – there’s seriously three black people in the entire city, and no Hispanics
Silentconsort: White birthrates are down to sub-replacement levels. Our days are numbered but we can probably live off the fat of our six-figure incomes for the rest of the century. Apre moi le deluge.
Krakow is too close to “auschwitz” and everybody is sick and tired of jew whining about the “holocaust”. Screw that, people want a vacation, not an indoctrination session.
McCain hates Mykonos.
Only tourists go to the Saint-Ouen Flea Market. White Parisians will go to Porte de Vanves. Non-whites will go to Porte de Montreuil and pay 1/3 of the previous 2s.
Yes! The Berkeley Bowl has plenty of fresh fruit, organic pork, and hippie wanna-bes.
Number 2 white loving place in the country after San Francisco; Northampton Massachusetts. It’s a mecca for white people. Uber liberal, outdoor, pet-loving, diversity seeking and all around white individuals live here. Seriously, everything about this place screams white people.
places white people frequent:
1. sedona, arizona
2. branson, missouri
3. lake geneva, wisconsin
basically any place that feels like a suburb but is surrounded by some beautiful scenery.
and, why do they all have the same stuff in their trinket stores? BORING!
This entire site is absolutely hysterical! I can’t get enough! I don’t know who thought of it, but you must either be in my head or hang with my group of friends. Despite being named in the list a for a few categories, we love to make fun of the white yuppies in Lincoln Park (in Chicago). I only wish Stainless Steel appliances and/or girls who carry multiple, large and often times designer bags on public transportation, banging into everyone. Why do white people need two bags to just go to work? Are you camping out there? Are you afraid someone is going to break into your WASPY abode while at work, so you take everything of value with you to work? Some white people just crack me up (and I’m white!)!
Ok…hate to say it but you’re clearly not ‘in the know’ when it comes to Europe and their ‘racial problems.’ First, many european countries proclaim everyone is equal, but look closely; most Africans and other minorities hold such positions as the sweeper of the streets or in the subway. Rarely do you find someone of color in any ‘glorious’ position. Further, try reading the news sometime and see what type of problems France has with their ‘immigrant problem’ to see that to say europe is ‘less racially stressful than the good old US’ is not understanding the problem.
I prefer the brocantes in the French countryside where I passed up an authentic bottle of absinthe – de Quincey style.
Clander is like the guy who drinks the Invisible Man formula in the movie. He is starting to disappear. Many have noticed that he is employing more and more distractions to babysit the toddlers who visit this site while he slips out the back door. My guess is that Clander is neglecting his charges to promote and package his new book soon to be offered for $ale. White people will always buy the cow, when the milk is no longer free. ADIEU.
Kracow–>Prague–>Budapest is (or at least was) the E.Europe backpackers circuit. (back in late 90’s early 00’s)
EVERYONE IS WRONG!…it is alllll about Bhutan!…its a tiny country smashed between india and china with mountains all around it. I went four years ago and it was so amazing. only 20,000 or so tourists go a year becuase it super hard to get into, and every single road leads to a fabulous 17th or 18th century buddist monastary! The most beautiful of all is on the side of a cliff and its all white and takes a 4 hour hike to get to. Bhutan fills everything white people love. It has amazing culture, the people are very nice, the hotels are very expensive, the national gross domestic product is happiness! and the nicknacks and hand thrown pots you can buy are super super cheap, like 30 cents for an awesome hand thrown bowl! I bought about 20 of them and gave them as gifts for christmas. Every house has a shrine so some sort of diety or god and its very colorful. Plus the people there are suprisingly well off for such a small gross GDP of about 1 to 2 billion a year. Bhutan is authentic, and seemingly from a different time, but then in the next city its more modern, with coffee shops that have wireless internet. Paris is so 80s and islands are so 90s, its all about the tucked away crountries in Asias. Bhutan is very peaceful and safe, its like india mixed with china, mixed with mexico, mixed with canada. It has the idea of adventure without the danger factor actually present! So the next time you think paris or some greek island as a white spot, you need to think about the true independent white person and how much they will love Bhutan.
What white people love is-NORWAY!
The last great white hype-in terms of EVERYTHING!
Ha. . .velkommen til oss!
Coming from Tucson, AZ-I completely agree!
paris is the shit i only went there once

I live in southern cali, and the getty villa, while very white, is not as much fun as huntington gardens. The villa is beautiful and the roman busts are beautiful, and so is the black micotile entryway floor, but it doesnt compare with the japanese garden at the Huntington museum. But when i was at the villa, i did notice tons of europeans there, maybe because we stole some of their best examples of roman/greek sculptures and antiquities. Huntington is even more white because you have to pay to get in, and the house is reopening on may 28, and I plan on going right after it opens because they remodeled the house a bit and added 5000sqft. I was dispointed with the villa, while the ocean view and garden were beautiful i thought we would go into an actual house with furniture and such, like huntington. I think for arts sake the getty center is better, even though its less white, plus you can look onto multi-million dollar homes that surround it. I suggest anyone going to the getty center, that they go on a tuesday, because any other day will be packed full of tourists.
Isnt this a little stereotypical? Besides who doenst like Paris?
Add the following: Cancun, Mexico
Negril and Montego Bay Jamaica.
These places are invaded by gringos (white people) during not just spring break – but all year long.
Where else can you see tons of White people claiming to enjoy “exotic” 3rd world countries – while still enjoying all the benefits of 1st world living in their all inclusive hotel zones???
The really and truly sad thing? I was at a Paris flea market this past weekend.
The puppy mills thing has to count as some kind of white people humor right there.
The white spot is right here: http://www.whitespot.com/
Waitressing at the White Spot was my the first job I ever had and I can verify that it is true– the White Spot really is a white spot. Their specialty: hamburgers with triple mayo. How white is that?
the average european dislikes the average american (and their accent) not because of politics and religion but because of ignorant, uniformed, obnoxious tourists who talk too loudly, who know nothing of the country they’re visiting and who pay for something with euros and expect to receive american change in return. it’s the complete and unapologetic lack of knowledge about anything outside the continental usa that so aggravates the rest of the world.
Whenever me and my non-white friends go to White Spot, we’re always shoved in a corner away from any windows. Cracks us up every time.
PS the triple mayo sauce is gross.
I’ve never been to Paris and I still love Paris. Even the idea of Paris can send white people into a reverie. If you can’t actually get to Paris, you can always revel in all the accounts of Paris written by white people, or read stuff by French intellectuals — Foucault, for instance — since virtually every French intellectual hung out there. I find Henry Miller’s accounts of Paris particularly reverie-inducing.

a white person
SOMEONE IS WRONG ON THE INTERNET!!!!
CAN’T STOP MYSELF….MUST RESPOND…PLEASE KILL ME…
I want to pronounce it “Qwell dummadge”
p.s. White Spot in general is gross.
Just because the average American spends more time _at_ work than the average Frenchman doesn’t mean that the average American works more.
Ooh, could you write about London sometime? And all the annoying teenage girls who say things like ” OMG, I swear I should have been born British!”
“Paris would be much nicer without the French.”
The French really aren’t the problem, Parisians are. Paris is like any other megalopolis, the people who live there think they are the center of universe. New York, Chicago, L.A., San Francisco, Berlin, London, Tokyo, are all the same, the people are usually douchebags who think anybody not from their city is a provincial bumpkin.
I’ve been elsewhere in France and found the people to be quite nice, even to a flag-waving “ugly American” like myself.
You didn’t mention The Flea Market in Bhutan. If you didn’t visit The Flea Market, you missed the whole show.
Did you serve burgers with an egg on top like the chick way above used to scarf in Paris?
C’mon, a little humor, eh?
Yeah, Manhattan is where I play but wouldn’t live unless I were rich. In that case I’d live in the West Village, Chelsea or UWS.
Brooklyn is cool. I like my life since I travel to Scandanavia for 9 weeks every summer to bask in amazing sun and surf. Gotta place there by the beach, you see.
So, mtn guy, enjoy sticky NYC in the summer. Hope you’re able to get out of your cubicle for a little while in July.
Who’s the loser, loser?
The bad news is that we are all cursed with an addiction. The good new is that we can stop anytime we want. Alas, no…we can’t. It’s all bad news. Welcome to Hell.

4 places I’ve been where the only non-whites were summer workers and/or customer service employees.
How about Dublin? It’s got people with a history of oppression, plenty of old buildings, authentic Irish bars, U2, and it’s a burgeoning hi-tech center to boot.
TOKYO ARE WHERE ALL THE WAPANESE ARE
This is perfect! The post crystallized one of my pet peeves: the view of Europe as the birthplace of Culture. I can’t possibly count the times a white friend will rhapsodize over the Louvre and the Champs-Élysées yet look incredulous when I describe Kyoto as one the true world-class cities.
All this for a culture that around 500 AD was continuously invaded by barbarians while the Chinese were *rebuilding* the Great Wall and centralizing their government.

So true. Paris carries such special cachet with white people, but ESPECIALLY for white women. In fact, this is the white woman’s favorite phrase: “My boyfriend and I are going to Paris this weekend.”
To wit:
White woman: “My boyfriend and I are going to Paris this weekend.”
White woman’s friends: “Oh, how romantic!!!”
Vs.
White woman: “My boyfriend and I are going to Frankfurt this weekend.”
White woman’s friends: “Oh, wow. Cool.”
You may have noticed that you just reinforced the joke at your expense. You are too pretentious to keep living.
Has anybody noticed how San Franciscans travel to the same four places? France, Spain, Costa Rica, Peru.
Trend alert: I hear the hipsters and other ‘tards at work whispering about Brazil.
There are more countries out there, you conformist motherfuckers.
Ummm scary! I can barely figure out my phone and I does none of that. Yes, I’m white, but I do not share the interest in fancy electronics with the whites described on this hilarious site!
Anyway, something else I think that is super lame is Ciruqe du Soleil. The majority of my friends are white and seem to like it. Perhaps it makes them feel cultured to like art with a name of a different tounge, but it makes me feel weird to think about what the event entails. Am I out of place to tell them that it freaks me out and is a strange waste of money? I would much rather one-up them with coolness by spending my hard earned student loan money at a micro-brewery getting loaded, talking about philosophy and how to make the world’s problems go away.
Would I be considered rude if I flat out refused to go to that circus?
Mexico is the world’s “2nd fattest nation”.
Gee, I thought they were all starving and in desperate need. 😉
fuck europeans. when was the last time they developed anything mildly innovative?
If you want a good white vacation spot, you can’t go wrong with Queensland, Australia. Walking around Brisbane inspires comments like, “This is what it must have been like to live in America in the 50’s,” which I think is something only white people are nostalgic about. There are lots of places to surf, ride horses and golf. You can visit authentic outback pubs and meet lots of sunburned ranchers and then back home tell your friends about how you almost got into a knife fight with one and then ended up buying him a pint of Fourex and having an arm wrestling tournament. You can annoy your friends at home by telling that you’re hungry and ready for some tucker.
While there, you can go to Steve Irwin’s zoo and be sad that he’s not around to dangle babies in front of crocodiles anymore. Best of all, you can go snorkle (or, better, scuba dive) on the Great Barrier Reef, which gives you the opportunity to say, “Yeah, man, I got to see the reef before it was destroyed by global warming. Bleached coral reefs are such a bummer.”
I went to the flea market in Paris with those romantic ideas about ten years ago. Then I realised that all the vendors and all the products were either a) obnoxiously expensive antique types, or b) generic exotic kitsch, ranging from African masks to Indian cushion covers. It’s a nice idea but it’s of, by, and for the non-French.
Just curious, whats with the white people quotes?
I guess you forgot to mention fruits… White people loves to be fruitarian isnt it??
Hilarious! Paris is for sure a popular destination for Americans – white people not sure, but if its so, I guess I am guilty. I do indeed love France – why – I couldn’t tell you. Your blog makes me laugh, thanks.
Too funny…there must be a lot of people from Vancouver posting on this blog what with all the “White Spot” references. (For those unaware, this is a VanCity institution…a ubiquitous chain of about 60 supposedly upscale burger joints that have been around for – seriously – about eighty years).
I’m a Vancouver native, but I’ve lived in Paris (my partner’s from Nice, however most of her relatives are in the capitol) and we’re in France at least once or twice a year. When I first read the title of this thread *White-Spots-Paris*, I immediately thought: “Bloody hell! Shite Vancouver burger joints opening in Paris? And look: it’s plural…there’s more than one? When the fuck did this happen?”
Anyway, Clander…IMHO, you picked one of the shittier antiques/flea markets in Paris, out in the ‘burbs no less. I could mention at least a dozen better ones, more trendy, all in the city, but I only know them by sight/location, etc., not by name. I’d have to get into exact directions, etc.
However, I do think this *going international* might be a good idea here, at least occasionally…I realise this blog is for an American audience, but it would give us non-Yanks a bit of a respite from whitey America (we can watch Anderson Cooper on CNN for a lot of this stuff. Hell, we can just stare at Anderson Cooper).
Might I suggest: Goa and/or Thailand? How ’bout some England like Southend-On-Sea? Nothing more UK white than Essex “Mockneys” doing naughty weekends at the seaside, driving Beamers/dressed to the nines yet wacked on pills, binge-drinking and proudly vomiting in public (believe it or not, this IS upscale. Think: Ibiza.)
Asheville, NC.
Jose, take a deep breath. Count to ten. Close your eyes. Take a minute to sit down. Picture pleasant scenes. Slow your breathing down. There you go. Ready to read? Ok, the authors of this blog lump all whites into a homogeneous whole. They make no distinction between types of white people. Clearly, Jose, you do. Furthermore, mister comprehension guy, where in this article or any post on this blog did you read anything about “right kind of white people”? Now, I will not say what nationality or race I am, I am just going by what I see when I travel to European cities. I have been traveling to Europe for twenty years and each time I’m in a European capital, I see fewer and fewer Americans. When I am stateside I seem to notice that most American people with money to take expensive holidays talk about their travels to warm, tropical places. Cruises seem to be a favorite way to go. Speaking of vacations, I suggest you get on the next flight to Kingston, check into an “all-inclusive” and ask the bartender to score you a “1/4”. Get a grip! PS: get laid.
Jose, you really need to get a life, get high or get laid or all of the above.
nice picture
Whitey, you’re thinking about the wrong kind of white people…you need to be thinking boarding school in Switzerland francophone.
what about nutella asshole?
Sorry, when it comes to the USVI St. Thomas is so out. Too much crime, swarms of loud, fat white people wearing water shoes and rocking kickboards.
St. Croix is much cooler.
Sorry, Killington is out, Stowe is much nicer (if skiing on the east coast is your thing).
wtf is a bisquit? do you mean bisquick? Because I love bisquick, I ate a whole bunch of it when I was backpacking the Appalachian Trail and Yosemite in the year before law school.
will this website turn into an orgy of spam/electioneering?
Stay tuned until the next post white people…
quit spamming and get bent. nobody wants to read your tangentially related bullshit.
blacks, mexicans and fat people are all better in bed than the etiolated individuals who plague this website…
Najaf is the new prague.
Not to criticize, but you could literally substitute all the names of different places, artists, liqeurs, cheeses, geographical location, etc. and end up with the same story as any number of other white people.
Except for the rappelling, that’s cool and weird and moderately eastern-Europe. So just mention that next time.
I think the right kind of white people might actually approve…your classmate was Chicana after all…
God that was tedious…
that’s kind of the idea behind the site sir…white people can be simultaneously pretentious, unimaginative, and repetitive all while maintaining a facade of individuality.
and your post made me want to throw up thinking about ugly feet.
Prague
Portland, Oregon
Prague is the place most white people visit after college, where they claim they went “off the beaten path” during their backpacking adventure in Europe. They also claim Prague is not “touristy” like those other European cities.
Portland has a wide range of white environmentalists, forest/animal conservationists, graduate students, and more recently, hipsters.
Burlington’s too much of a micro-berkeley east. without the money
you missed the mark by leagues…
Yeah, china’s just a bastion of culture and beauty, just look at the uh, umm, the…the Great Wall!
you’re clearly chinese, and probably went to school in china. Either that, or the centralized government’s propaganda has spoiled your white, wracked-with-guilt brain.
And have you ever heard chinese music? Ick!
Look at stuff from the Renaissance and tell me that china has ever produced works of beauty of similar quality.
Cirque du soleil is french canadian. What that means, is that it lacks the charm/aesthetic sensibility of europe, but possesses all the obnoxious qualities of the french.
That’s all you need to know.
I lived on Martha’s Vineyard and there’s an African-American community in Oak Bluffs. They have a beautiful Baptist church with people of all color attend. You obviously only chose to hang with the white folks.
white spots is overkill. Just put it on the list, like SF

dp- i wasnt saying there was no racism or mistreatment of people of color in france (or anywhere else in europe, for that matter)-but for this black american-just -oh, not being followed around the friggin stores all the time, is, problems and all, a tiny respite from this so-called post-racial society. you feel me? oh, and about norway-i have some friends (black) who live there…. yeah-its white-quite white. but guess why they left here?

Jeremy: The first multilingual child to appear on this blog Enfant terrible.
I resent your relating to my tangential bullshit tangentially.
LOL!!! We just went to Paris last month and my husband, being white, insist that we visit the giant flea market.
Anyway, I think you should add Asia as a “white spot” because they can feel big (because they are physically over most Asians), and they like that Asians treats them like a God in Asia, because they do. You will not find a white person coming back from Asia with a bad experience because they were all treated like kings and queens!
Cheers!

Reinforcing the joke at our own expense is called posting.
The ultimate white spot: Portland Saturday Market in Portland, OR. Blinding whiteness. Fer real, yo.
I’m surprised that nobody has mentioned here how much many black Americans love Paris and greater France, because they are treated so much better there than here. Did anyone hear that bit on NPR (can’t remember what show) where a black woman from the US went to France and found everyone treated her really well, nobody shunned her. She later finds out that they were treating her well b/c of her american accent, and when she learned to speak french without an accent, she started to get treated like the other north-african immigrants. She was ashamed to say so, but she started talking with her american accent again, just so people would treat her with more respect. Her story was similar to what we’ve all heard a lot of black/aftrican-american soldiers reported serving in WWII and being stationed in France. The people there aren’t afraid/hostile/distant b/c of your african skin color. I hear it is similar in Canada, when you cross the border there, it’s night and day.
So, Paris and France can be friendly to white and black Americans, not just white people love Paris. 🙂
ever been to colorado springs? with such wonderous attractions as garden of the gods, seven falls and pikes peak, colorado springs surely attracts more white tourists and white inhabitants as any city near its size. except maybe north dakota.
I was in Paris this Sept past with my sisters.I noticed immediately that the locals were very guarded at hearing us speak english until we informed them we were from Canada,then they warmed up considerably.One instance , when i was looking at some postcards and trying to turn the display, it wouldnt turn and i realized someone was turning it the other way.I said.”oh sorry” with a smile and the woman replied “its ok”. I remarked “oh you speak english” and her reply was.”of course, im american”……..(HUH?)……….anyways, I politely reminded her that i speak english also and im Canadian…………..
oh.and i visited the Paris Flea Market also…….lol
Just a quick comment on Les Puces. I’ve tried to get there on three separate trips but have been deterred by all of the third-world detritus that blocks one’s way. On my first two visits, I actually thought that the bazaar just north of the Porte de Clignancourt metro exit was the real deal. Be assured, white people, that it is merely a test. The real marche aux puces (that’s “flea market,” y’all) is still a couple of blocks north.
On my first couple of visits, I couldn’t understand what all the fuss was about. After all, I can buy a Bob Marley T-shirt at any of the used record stores in my own burg. But for those of us who are now in the know, a world of retro French key chains, porcelain and other white culture awaits! Keep marching north, white man (and woman)!

Paris is a multicultural cesspool. See what I mean?

I just got back from France. It was a nightmare. I thought I was in the middle east. So if you think Paris is a place for white people, think again!
So to help my fellow white people I am going to teach you a few phrases that will be helpful when the muds come up to you and growl.
Fiche moi le paix! – Get the fuck away from me!
Fous le camps et morte! – Fuck off and DIE!
Casse-toi! – Fuck off!
That is basically all the French you need to know.
Wow, I am impressed. A post about France and almost no french bashing. Thank you guys! It gives me hope in the US blogosphere again.
Africa for Africans, Asia for Asians, White Countries for Everybody
“Liberals and respectable conservatives say there is this RACE problem. Everybody says this RACE problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries.”
“The Netherlands and Belgium are more crowded than Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this RACE problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and quote assimilating unquote with them.”
“Everybody says the final solution to this RACE problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to “assimilate,” i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.”
“What if I said there was this RACE problem and this RACE problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?”
“How long would it take anyone to realize I’m not talking about a RACE problem. I am talking about the final solution to the BLACK problem?”
“And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn’t object to this?”
“But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree that I am a naziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.”
“They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white.”
“Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.”
Dude, your site is hilarious and I love it, but just one thing: the Paris flea markets are at the Northern edge of the city ( http://minilien.fr/a0k990 ) and the rue des Rosiers is the Jewish quarter in the centre of the city ( http://minilien.fr/a0k991 ). i.e. they’re nowhere near each other.
HTH.
Dude…
white people go where they think all white people came from….. Ireland and Scotland! lol. Do you know how many older white people walk up and down the Royal Mile (in Edinburgh) every weekend?
I was looking for WSM. Just enough diversity to make white people feel better. The white people with money pretend they don’t have any and the white people without money pretend they do.
Here’s a hint: white people love Thailand.
White people just like banging cheap underage Thai hookers.
I just got back from Paris and let me tell you. I feel white, fat, mal- nourished and uneducated. But other than that it was “Impeccable!” OO la la, Vive la France!
This is funny. Im sure some of you are familiar with “The White Spot” restaraunt chain out of British Columbia. when I read the title of this new section of the blog it made me laugh.
Please…the Paris flea markets was more like the Swap Meet, at least when I went. White folk were the minority…get it right people!
The Swap Meet? Mmm. That sounds deliciously swingerish.
Just like the famous ‘leather market’ in “Firenze”, all a bunch of sand-blaster Pakis, Iranians, etc. now.
In about another 50 years there won’t be a White person left in Europe who won’t conclude that Germany/Italy should have won WW2, and saved Western Civilization from destruction.
I got a bit confused while reading the “white spot” post by Kay Elliot. See in Canada we have a RESTAURANT called “White Spot” and I thought it was a review place for the white spot restaurant in your town!? haha
So in Canada there is a white spot, the last one I visited was in Vancouver, a girl even came up to my car window and took my order like in those A&W commercials.
That’s my white spot!
I work in a store that sells bags for Apple accssories, Camaer knapsacks and a outdoor equipmenty looking bags like messenger bags made of nylon…across the street from a starbucks, a dog park and next to a greeting card store in the hipster part of town which is inhabited mainly by yoga loving yummy mummies and their mortgage laded geeky husbands….Sooooo….when they come in I have noticed travel destinations that are popular now are
-PARIS (i know but it’s classic)
-Mexico specifically Oaxaca and less know areas…NOT cancun or puerto vallart unless its in a LUXURY resort jennifer anniston went to.
-Tibet
-Nepal (vegans love tibet and nepal)
-India as always another classic…u can learn all about aruvedic medicine and get 3 dinner parties worth of bragging after going here…
-Prague as mentioned above
-Berlin – cabaret and art deco anybody?
-Barcelona – tapas fantasies
-Madrid because it’s not Barcelona and it’s full of galleries.
-the Algarve
-Melbourne/Sydney (exotic and white though its asian now)
-Turkey (so they can say they went to the “middle east and Europe plus it’s safer in their mind then going anywhere else in the middle east)
– Aix en Provence (martha stewarts and barefoot contessa’s have orgasms when they here the name of this place)
-Tuscany but now Puglia is getting popular because its “less known and has just as good wine”
-Dubai
-Egypt but only on a guided tour/bus
you cannot forget Muskoka, Halifax and Montreal so they can get a feel of “european style” culture….in the comfort of bland ol canada…
Hi Whities, small problem… there’s not a flea market at that address… the one in the photo is at Place Monge on the left bank.
It’s true – Parisians are much more polite if you speak their language – even a little… but surely it would be the same in any other major city? Although French is just one of the five European languages I speak [clang!]…
This blog would be entitled ‘what middle class people like’ if it were British. I am a black brit and I like about half the stuff on this list.
And Yanks? We’ve hated you pretty much since the Depression.
‘Je n’ai jamais assiste(e)’ surement?
jeg vil gjerne se norge igjen, jeg likte det sa.
You say you’re not a Nazi but… you mention ‘final solution’ twice.
And since when was America a ‘white’ country? Since whites moved over there, like they did everywhere else. Name a large country that doesn’t have white expats. If there’s a race problem it’s cos you made it that way.
do people think that if they comment on this blog and put their url down that masses of people will visit their site?

Presenting the Whitest White Spot of all: Millers Mills, NY
http://www.millersmillsny.com/index.htm
But that’s Michelle’s point, you idjit. That’s why she finds this site amusing, because it hits close to home (and also, she has a sense of humor about herself).
I love Paris in the spring BUT ….I was there for a week’s visit and stayed in a hostel . Learned to use the Metro quickly. It is soo NYC. Went to the Louvre and Quay D’Orsay and found my High School French ( learned over20 years’s ago) kicked in just fine thought I never had a chance to try it out before. The trip veered off course for me when, as I was taking the Metro to the Flea Market ,I found myself in a NYC crowded subway moment. I reached the exit, trotted up stairs and headed in high anticipation ,to the market which beconed like and lighthouse from a stormy sea. My co traveler who was behind me, pointed out that my backpack was wide open.
Trouble wacked me upside my head. My wallet and passport were gone. Then I really had to dredge up my ancient French.. Found myself in the Arab quarter. My greying hair, freckled skin and casual attire must have stood out . Turns out it was Easter Weekend and the American Embassy was closed for 3 days. My co travelers had to return home, so Iwas left in Paris holed up with little cash. in a garret until I could get a new temporary passport.
I was able to buy a sixpack and learned airport patience…
I’m white and I hate those places.
White people love Eastern Europe. Seriously, Bratislava is like the greatest destination ever right now. And, what about Croatia?
I’m so happy to have found this blog because now I’ve confirmed something I’ve suspected for a long time now – I’m white!
So much so that 1)my name comes from Shakespeare, 2)I went to really expensive, really liberal private schools despite my father’s insistence that we had to believe in the public school system, 3)I moved to Europe and 4)married into an aristocratic family, 5)and we send our children to the Lycee Francais (French people love rugby, you forgot to mention that in the rugby post!) in Barcelona and 6)my mother, who is a huge fan of The Wire, sends us boxed sets of The Sopranos and 7)I have a blog about shopping in Barcelona where I use “quel” alot.
Now to my point – Barcelona is one of the biggest white spots around. It’s in southern Europe, so white people think it’s warm and wear shorts (and flip flops) much of the year when they visit. It has a beautiful historic center and is a mecca for those intersted in architecture and design. It has a lot of open-air markets so that white people can buy fruit salad and eat it from plastic containers with plastic utensils on the street (all classes of Europeans are appalled by this vulgar behavior.) Barcelona is in Catalonia, where there is an independance movement so that white people can inform themselves about the oppressed natives. The New York Times, arbiter of all things white, is all over Barcelona, as is Saveur, the food writer from Vogue Jeffrey Steingarten and many New Your restaurants.
In an other way Paris, and France don’t really represent Europe, France is called the brazil of Europe due at its multicultural population far higher than any other European country. (Even U.K)
The center is not very white (exepted the 6th 7th and 16th arondissemnt) when the most populous arrondissement (13th, 18th, 19th, 20th) are clearly non white majority.
The suburbs are diverse, there is poor and rich suburbs (the poor suburbs are in north east and the rich suburbs are in the west).
I don’t want to break the Paris dream of many people, but it is weird how tourist are shocjed when they see Chatelet Les Halles, subway station and this increble mix of people of every race, an huge number of interracial couple.
The paris of the movie non longer exist, execpted in Montmartre (Montmartre is just near a big african district but tourist are blind) and near the Louvre and the Eiffel tower.
Don’t see Paris as Europe and as French, Paris is a mix of africa and asia in Europe.
I happy to live in the modern paris rather than in the dreamed Paris that no longer exist.

Actually, they rarely articulate any kind of religious bent. It’s young unemployed teenagers and young adults who are stuck in giant, decaying housing projects.
Wrong assessments breed wrong responses, which do not bring solutions.
Poor people like vacations.

Merde!

With the Stuff White People Like blog officially slain, it’s time for me to move on to more challenging prey. Perhaps I’ll meet some of you on my next target.
Stuff White People Like died on April 17th, 2008. RIP.
I win! There’s a whole chain of restaurants in Vancouver called “White Spot”. Go to: http://www.whitespot.com/
Where do I pick up my prize? Oh. Somebody else mentioned it, too?
What’s up with other European cities?
Anybody have any suggestions as to where “they” like to visit in Europe besides Paris. I am not good with geography, would like to visit some of “thier” places for conversation fillers-maybe…One day(LOL)
SWPL’s inspired…

St. Ouen market is not a flea market, it’s a disguised antique market and there’s no such thing as a cheap used item there. Most things are over-priced and anyone who takes an hour to walk around in the different market places there will soon see the obvious signs, fedex and curreny exchange offices, how many flea markets has that …

There are several white places throughout Europe, so I think I’ll mention another one.
A few parts of east Berlin, on the formerly other side of the wall, it has become an eldorado. A high density of history, second languages, nightclubs, art, sex, unemployment, no residents over 35 and low prices makes a favorable environment for white people. The idea of doing europe, if possible with studying a year abroad, draws hordes to Berlin. “I was like… Duhh… Have you been to the gates of Brandenburg, man? Wow, I have been this stone since Paris!”, you can hear every fifth meter. “You were at the seegasoyle with Obama, pal?” is a winner lately. They’re all wearing New Balance shoes and vintage t-shirts. Mostly they leave after five days, with a feeling that they understood the culture, and that they had the coolest experience ever, and that noone is going to belive the stories when they get back home.
Wow, Things that white people like. what a category! Your blog caught my eye because of the reference to the Paris flea market. I think white people all like antique hunting. I take people to Europe antiquing a few times each year and go to some other places that white people like. We go to the street antiques fair in Arezzo in Italy, then on to the huge antiques fairs at Swinderby & Newark in England
( where all the crowd can be defined as WASP) and then on to Paris. Check out my website. here,s the URL: http://www.EuropeAntiqueTrip.com
white place like by the white people. And all white thing
what a crazy site and what a fine veiw.
Special thanks for this post.
Japan. White people love Japan.
I have to get back to you now that I have taken the antiquing trip to places that white people like. The best part was Paris. One of the stops on our antiquing tour is the Drouot auction house. Virtually every day one or more of the sales rooms has an auction of vintage clothing and these are the top of the game. Names like Hermes, Coco Chanel, Bottega Venetta etc. The stuff was incredible. Our guide even showed us consignment stores where rich white Parisiens leave thier used clothing for resale. The whole trip was fabulous! They will have trips again next winter and word has it that the company will add several more trips.
…still alive…you can come back now. You won’t regret it.+
Hey, are you my French cousin I hadn’t met (LOL). I been to Paris twice when my plane landed in/took off from either the De Gaulle or Orly airports. I was there in June ’96 as my father born in France (his hometown St. Omer) and Oct. ’05 just before the race riots broke out (I missed out on the burning cars). France is a wonderful country to visit, but not really for most Americans to live in. I sure felt the country’s post 9/11 reaction to American foreign policy. However, my late grandpa always liked America and how the US army thankfully came to liberate France in the two world wars. +
There is a good flea market in Brussels too, albeit much smaller. Brussels is not a hugely common tourist destination the way Paris is, so as a white person I enjoy tormenting my friends who rave about the Paris flea market with the idea that there is another more obscure one that they haven’t been to.
Can’t argue with that.
The closes you ever been to France was when you put french dressing on your salad. Just because your dad is from St. Homo, don’t mean you know jack about the french. You may have missed the race riots, but you sure caught the gay love fest. hahaha.+
Keep on trolling Mr. or Ms. Anonymous! You gonna find your computer hacked one day…believe me, they are invading many sites on the web and you can’t do anything about it. +
The best spot for white people (limited to American kids of hippy-boomer parents) is the cemetery where Jim Morrison of the Doors was buried, his tombstone is graffitied and you find lazy people in tents, drinking, potsmoking or sleeping by it. How gauche of them to act this way in a cemetery known to be burials of other famous Parisians, like Oscar Wilde who’s tombs are often ignored or filled with litter. +
Speaking of invading, any guys wanna invade my ass? I am open for anything and anyone who wants to ‘stick it in me’.
yoink!
beeeeeotch.
But the BEST spot for white males is up my warm, fat mountain sized ass. It’s California tanned and it’s open at all times.+
My name is Thomas Briollet. I must admit I am homosexual. The only woman I fantasize about sexually is my mother. She is so fucking sexy. I dream of bending her over and pounding her pussy in front of our gay French relatives. Then I will come on her face and she will lick it off and say “Oh Thomas,you are just like your father who beat the shit out of you and me and was a pathetic alcoholic, and now you just work for some stupid French wine distribution company because you are too stupid to see beyond cliches about French people!” The best thing the French have is the Eiffel Tower, but it is completely useless, like me Thomas. It is just an ugly heap of metal that serves no purpose. Big deal.
I think the French people are so great, but the French have done fucking nothing for the world. If French is so great, why does the whole world speak English? I hate English speakers, but it was the Americans who saved the French from the Germans during World War 2. I am a typical worthless French guy. I need to wax down my extremely thick eyebrows because they take up half my face. I live in China because I think I can be hedonistic and an international playboy, but only the trash of the world lives in Beijing because it is a shitty communist hole. The Chinese would kill someone to move out of Beijing. I moved here to make money to send to my pathetic French family who can’t find jobs to support themselves, because they live in a ghetto called Reims. I thought in China I would be an important white man, but really the Chinese wish I would leave their country, and stop sleeping with many prostitutes and sluts in their country both Asian and white. Take my laowai trash out, and also my horrible French wine.
I grew up in a housing project because my father was too busy beating me up and drinking because he was an unemployed alcoholic and he never loved me. But I still am playboy like he is. He fucked lots of women and had lots of ugly offspring like me. My father used to beat me up because I deserved it for being a shtihead bastard, and asshole. So I fantasized about fucking my mother like he did. Now I dominate women because I am scared of being controlled and powerless. I like to beat them up and be an S&m Master because I’m scared of being weak and beaten up like when my papa used to hit me. I like only sexy innocent white girls who are models and who are stupid enough to be submissive to me. They make me feel important and strong, but I am boring and an ugly French cliche.
I am secretly gay, but I never told my papa cause he would hit me hard and make my ass bleed. I like partying partying and drinking and dancing because I am so original! I am such a party animal! Too bad I am getting fatter and uglier as I grow older. Too bad I have a small small penis and I will never satisfy a woman; and they are faking their orgasms by going ah ah ah. But many sexy girls make me feel important. I am scared of being alone so I must be surrounded by lots of friends and distractions because in my retard brain I know that my papa hated me and he abandoned me. Sincerely, Thomas Briollet.
I think Paris Hilton is so pretty girl beautiful eyes but also so very wild
Blacks are too poor to travel and are afraid of overseas.
Whoa! This blog looks exactly like my old one!
It’s on a entirely different subject but it has pretty
much the same page layout and design. Great choice
of colors!
I absolutely love your blog and find almost all of your post’s to be just what I’m looking for.
Would you offer guest writers to write content for yourself?
I wouldn’t mind writing a post or elaborating on many of the
subjects you write regarding here. Again, awesome website!
Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is fundamental and everything.
Nevertheless imagine if you added some great visuals or videoos
to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is exceolent but with images and clips,
this site could definitely be one of the very best in its field.
Terrific blog!
