The sweater is an essential part of the white person wardrobe and it is a very good idea to familiarize yourself with all the different types of sweaters that are most popular with white people.
When you approach the subject from the perspective of age, it’s essential that you combine very young and very old white people in the same group. This is because young white people think it is very cool to wear clothes that are popular with senior citizens. The most popular example of this is the cardigan sweater, which is essentially a wool jacket with less buttons. An old white person might combine this sweater with a button down shirt to provide himself or herself with valuable warmth in the winter months, but a young white person will combine it with a t-shirt to create a ‘layered look.’ This not only allows them to show others that their personality features as many layers as their clothes, but it’s a chance to show people that you own not one but two cool items of clothing.
White women will also purchase many small, thin sweaters that they can wear in combination or on top of other clothes. Though you may think it would make more sense to just purchase a thicker sweater, these layers allow them to achieve maximum temperature control (see Scarves for more evidence of this phenomenon).
Moving up in thickness and age, one comes across the ‘ultra thick’ sweater. Though you will find these at Farmer’s Markets and Community Gardens throughout the country, they are most popular in the Pacific Northwest. These are often light brown or almost beige and weigh upwards of 10 pounds. When you a see a white person walk into a bar or coffee shop wearing one of these sweaters, you can tell the weight by how much they are sweating when they take it off.
White people also appreciate the irony of ugly sweaters that usually feature things like reindeer and snowmen. Though it seems unlikely, white people have even been able to turn this into a theme for parties. Typing in “ugly sweater party” into google will return a wealth of images and a dearth of diversity. However, there is one notable exception.
Regardless of the type of sweater, it is also good to be aware of the fact that finding a nice sweater at a thrift shop or goodwill is considered a major event in the life of a white person. Scoring a garment that makes it into the regular rotation for under $10 is a story that white people will tell for up to five years after it happens. Therefore, if you are seeking white friendship it is a good idea to do one of two things: You can either go to dozens of thrift shops in hopes of finding a dream sweater or you can buy a new one, remove the label and make up a story about how you found in a Goodwill in a bad neighborhood that “hadn’t been picked clean by hipsters.”
First!
This probably means that Mr. Rogers is the patron saint of White People.
As he rightly should be.
I lost count long ago of the sweaters I’ve recieved at Christmas from relatives who don’t seem to grasp that I’m the WKOWP. Never wear the things. I’m more of a Carhart guy. Maybe a Westies jacket if I’m going out.
I keep meaning to regift them the following year, but after the incident with the puppy…
“White people also appreciate the irony of ugly sweaters that usually feature things like reindeer and snowmen.”
Now this is absolutely hilarious!
Today I saw a guy wearing a dippy Bill Cosby sweater when it was 65 degrees and sunny outside. At least when women wears a sweater in warm, sunny weather it’s thin as paper and even less insulating.
I think there’s room not only for a Mr. Rogers post, but one about how Bill Cosby was so popular with white people due to the subtle cues he sent out (like the sweater) about how he was really a white guy in disguise.
Adding to the trend of senior citizen styles in a white person’s wardrobe are the Sperry Topsiders, Dockers pleated pants, penny loafers, and the like.
What is this? A white person reaction to a new blog post? I think this right here is what #104 should be: “Idiotic Blog Comments”
Typical Seattle hipster.
And even better if you knit it yourself, preferably while spending a year in Europe.
I LOVE SWEATERS! Hell I wear em with shorts in the summer! I always have a need for a sweater here in SF though.
Hey, what’s in the brown paper bag? Stop using the sweater to distract us from the bag!
You can’t really be Portnoy’s Complaint! Or, is that a scathing “First!”?
The lord tunderin’, I’ve got that exact same cable-knit sweater! Although, being from Nova Scotia gives me a certain leeway, as the cable-knit is traditional Scottish fare as well as being nice and warm during the cold Canadian winter.
I get all my senior citizen clothes, glasses-on-a-chain and monocles where all the “Geris” go. Early Bird in Los Altos, CA. Just ask for Adam…he’s behind the holiday trees.
Also, it was hand-knit by a local(well, I was on a vacation in Cape Breton, but it was local where we were) tradeswomen, adding to my white man prestige.
White people apparently love their local artisan breads, too. Macrina, nice.
The fleece really has replaced the sweater, I dunno about this post.
Does anyone remember the late 1980’s when upper-middle class Jews discovered the Coogi sweater?
DDR: how’s that? lol
Don’t forget the collared shirt under the tight sweater. That’s my move.
I stole that move.
http://punkondeck.blogspot.com
PS another one that makes me chuckle is the black guys that wear argyle.
Well, false Portnoy, I think the cold weather progression of a white person goes sweater, then fleece, then back to sweater.
I actually had an “Ugly Christmas Sweater Party” last year on Christmas eve, I thought I was being soooo cleaver, and that nobody had thought of it before. I guess I was wrong, damn Im like a book. I also love crazy sweaters, and as people mentioned above, I love sweaters from the 80s with crazy colored zig-zags, and Bill Cosby sweaters. I even thought about bidding on one of his sweaters on ebay that he put it. It was 5,000 dollars, the sad part is, I really did think about putting in a bid for one of them. The best 80s sweaters are the ones that are so worn they are almost paper thin, with the crazy colors being faded, so as not to stand out to much, and also it gives a great vintage look. I can see Marc Jacobs new spring 2009 campaign with crazy thin 80s sweaters. I do love sweaters, and layering, but I do not wear them in the summertime, unless Its a cold day and im in Santa Monica shopping, otherwise, I wear clothes according to season, even though I live in southern california and we only have one season year around.
Good post
sweaters are nitted with love.
Not to nit pick, but it should be “fewer buttons.”
That has allready been done with expensive sandwiches. White people like expensive sandwiches on artisan breads.
When I wear old person clothes the irony is lost, since I am, in fact, old.
I noticed that too, but at least he tried. We are assholes. lol
At informal white gatherings, I like to blend by sporting a crew neck sweater with only the a t-shirt underneath. The lack of a collar gives me the laid back feeling of laughing with other white friends in a wine commercial.
Im sorry….does it suck as much as I think it does?
I loved Mr. Rogers, and Lamb chop, never really cared for that little tramp Thomas the Train though. OOO alliteration!
Much better! Now I recognize you! 🙂
I hope I don’t sound too defensive here, but the “AS” in “WASP”–which is the old, unfashionable word for “White People”*–is for “Anglo-Saxon”. We evolved in chilly, rain-soaked places where natural selection favors White People with a keen eye for a good sweater. Complicated fashions are just a natural outgrowth of generations of obsessive connoisseur-ship.
*in the sense that the phrase is used on this blog.
nested 3d.
I bought a grey, v-neck old-man-style CASHMERE sweater for $3 at a Salvation Army in the Pocono’s about 10 years ago. Despite the questionable stain on the front and the holes in the sleeve, I still love that freakin’ sweater!
On another, even whiter, note: Not 10 minutes ago I was contemplating the loss of this lightweight linen sweater that I would wear all summer long. I miss that sweater.
This post was spot on!
And lets not forget the super cool sweater vest.
Angie (from http://www.AllAdither.com)–where neuroses never nap.
The sweater has NOT been replaced by the fleece. They serve different purposes. Sweaters can be worn as part of an outfit. A fleece is outerwear; you must take it off when you arrive at your destination.
Macrina also serves the ultimate white people weekend brunch. Fussy food, green salad with breakfast, and a 40-minute wait to get one of the 10 tiny tables. Whee!
ew sweater vests are bad, even hipsters wouldnt wear them, unless they have on say, a t-shirt underneath and a loose tie around their neck, then they are going for nerd-chic.
I thoguht the Scots (and English) had the fisherman ganseys – typically with the designs in a knit/purl texture pattern covering only the upper half of the sweater.
‘cable-knit’ sweaters are traditionally Irish, from the Aran islands. see clanaran.com
“remove the label and make up a story about how you found in a Goodwill in a bad neighborhood that ‘hadn’t been picked clean by hipsters.’ ” I love this comment.
Cliff Huxtable sweaters are always great for Bad Sweater Parties.
do you use a nit pick to make sweaters?
if i remove my fleece to reveal a sweater, am i not then the hippest dude in the room?
You know, the more I read this blog, the more I hate the right kind of white people.
http://stuffgodhates.wordpress.com/
Definitely… we all grew up watching Mr. Roger’s taking his sweater off at the beginning of every show, it’s ingrained in us.
I appreciate a good sweater, and they’re definitely popular here in the Northwest. An essential item. Though I’ve never been very excited about one, they’re fairly interchangeable.

That’s a fact. I married a very talented knitter, and hand-knit wool sweaters kick a fleece’s sorry ass.

sweaters… really? So people of color don’t live in colder climates? If this were a post about fleece I would maybe see where you’re coming from, but sweaters are pretty universal.

When I wear my wonderful goldenrod cardigan I can always pull out the story of how it was the Christmas present from my younger brother. Add to that how he got it at rarely picked over Salvation Army and I am white person gold!
Whiteness assured!
The problem with this is that Bill Cosby is the king of ugly sweaters.
Some of us white people actually prefer to wear sweaters knitted from the hair of non-white people.
It makes us feel more special.
Chelle B.
Yeah…. totally scored a handwoven sweater in a market out in Romania.
So authentic it still has hay and grass woven into it.
Anytime someone dares to pluck out my authenticity they pull back a stump!
Mister Rogers and his various sweaters! I loved him, and also Henrietta Pussycat.
My college roomie, a 6-foot Amazon from Oslo, would knit those sweaters with reindeer and little people holding hands, which was amazing to watch. I wish I had one of those sweaters now, because I’d definitely wear it.
I never got why the Cosby Show was so popular. I never enjoyed it.
I’m so glad Nevada is still having some chilly nights: I don’t have to put away the cardigans yet. I am sucker for the ugly grandpa sweater, and even learned to knit in order to increase my scarf collection.
Yeah, I agree, this one’s kinda weak. Still, first dud in 100+ observations isn’t a bad hit rate.
Oh SNAP!
Can someone clue me in the collar popping phenom? Is that a whitey only thing?
There are limits, however: just ask Wil!
Yikes I recognize myself.
It looks like an Aran sweater to me…
OMG…that is hilarious.
Tim, I love the cultural anthropological bent of that post. The odd thing is that it actually makes sense.
don’t even fucking think about it
Sexy sweater and pic Clander! Another hilarious post – thank you :o)
Did you know that Every. Single. One. of Fred Rogers’s sweaters was hand-knit for him by his mum?
white people are also notorious for dressing their little dogs in sweaters.

Just one very white question: How can you NOT bitch slap your boyfriend/ husband when he comes out of the bedroom with the sweater on the his back and the sleaves half knotted on his chest? That is so Stuart Smalley. On a hetero dude? C’mon? A gay dude would certainly bitch slap you…as he should!

I here what you are saying, I love me some Jumpers ( that is what we call it in England) . I used to wear old fashioned jumpers like Pringles because they were great quality and used to last me a very long time.
As long as golfers are wearing jumpers, they will always be popular.

Bill Cosby is ONE person!!!!
And…who has more panache than Italians? Remember driving through Tuscany and seeing a half-dozen middle aged Italian guys standing along the raod with shovels, rakes etc. These laborers all had the following in common: Vibrant faces, great hair and very cool sweater clad outfits. My thought at the time: Geez even the roadies wear Missoni.
less buttons?
FEWER buttons!
Grammar fail… http://englishfail.wordpress.com/
Everyone wears sweaters (duh)…
If you do this while walking into a fancy sandwich shop with your Asian girlfriend and a gay and/or black friend, you have achieved many levels of whiteness.
White people like octogenarian, or at the very least, antiquated, pastimes.
i.e. White people like knitting.
No one mentioned loving Bill Cosby sweaters. Just you, my friend!
White people love grammar.
Bill Cosby loved sweaters on the Cosby show. You can actually bid on the original sweaters worn on the Cosby show. Bids start at $5000.

Sorry. I’m a victim. White people like Grammar.

I don’t own a sweater but maybe that’s because I live in South Florida.
It was hilarious…Bill Cosby is genius!
Do you think she could knit me a sweater, too? I’m not crafty enough
And you thought Bill Cosby was creating a ruckus in the black community for his recent cultural comments…now we now they just can’t forgive him for his white people sweaters.
Anytime I picture the “right” kind of white person, it includes someone drinking wine and throwing their head back while laughing! BTW, I am the “wrong” kind of white person. I recycle only when it is totally convenient and I love Wal-Mart…it is so cheap!
When I was pregnant with my first kid, I had a great fleece sweater that was NOT outerwear…in fact, I gaurantee you that if I removed that fleece sweater while inside, people would have run in horror at seeing nothing but my pregnant belly and stretch marks (not to mention a very unfashionable bra) 🙂
This is a somewhat boring post. I’d like to see a post about Bonnaroo. Now that is something white people like for sho. Some of my white friends tried to get me to go. I did an image search for Bonnaroo crowd and got back what I suspected, a sea of white people.
No thanks.
Yes, but does everyone love sweaters as much as white people do?
You are a part of Water People, Roger, and you will never understand sweaters or college algebra. You will crab with salami on a string and plug second cousins like they’re your third.
Would someone from Oslo really be called an Amazon? Maybe a Viking…
wow, this is some racist site. The whole sweater thing is kind of LAMe anyways. Seriously, follow the new trend.
Pretty lame especially because white people traditionally come from countries with cold winters, and in some cases summers. All people of all races/cultures wear sweaters when it is cold. Hey Clander since white people typically live in colder climes, maybe white people like cold weather not sweaters? Or maybe white people live in colder climes so they can wear sweaters?
See what happens when you give up on your best source of material, the NYT.
Typing in “ugly sweater party” into google – Bah!
I think your getting old CLander, unlike the days of your youth typing virtually anything into google will yield a 10,000 hits.
In your attempt to ridicule white people you miss one essential point. Poor white people often turn the tables on the wealthy by making things like ripped jeans and ratty sweaters fashionable, atleast until they sign a book deal, or hit 30.
FWIW I think poor people in other cultures pull of the same reversal. For example cheap hoop earings being fashionable.
I pooped my pants!

While I appreciate the reference to the Cos, how can you NOT make mention of Mac from Night Court?
That is one wicked sweater.
In the winter time I like sweaters. I have a collection of them. Ones I wear and ones I do not wear. The ones I wear are usually 100% wool and are made from a ragg material. Nothing fancy, except a couple of V-necks I bought by mistake.
Once the weather turns warms I pack them away and don’t wear them until October/November.
That’s too nice. Now you’ve made me cry.
I never really watched the Cosby Show, and didn’t really understand the whole white-people-liking-Bill-Cosby thing…..until I watched a little movie called Leonard Part 6. Rather strange, and strangely hilarious. Still not a major Cosby fan, but I can see why white people go for him.
Excuse me. Bill Cosby discovered the Coogi Sweater. Thank you!
white people are always trying add stuff to this list. wait for it to appear please.

Your sweater
I hate to say it, but this is a really LAME addition to a usually hilarious web site. Everyone who lives in a cold climate, regardless of the color of skin, wears a sweater. How do you know that black or asian people don’t like twin sets?
And, please, other commenters on this page, spare me the “do you know what a joke is?” comments. Because I know this is meant to be a parody, but I think calling out sweaters as a white-only thing is stretching it a lot.
Funny officially left the building. It was nice knowin’ ya.
Check out Leslie Hall’s excellent collection of ugly sweaters: http://www.lesliehall.com/gemsweater/gallery/gallery1.htm
That’s actually another example of something popular with young white people that was originally popular with white senior citizens. Good work, sir!
omg hahahahahahaha this is soooo perfect fits me to a t
You don’t know how it works. It was some JAP-py staff member in the wardrobe dept. that picked out clothes for the show.
Later, it was the blacks that took over from the Jews wearing Coogi. Blacks and jews also like Kangol hats!
true
Sweaters are also good for covering a white person’s pasty skin and lack of physical development. White singer Kurt Cobain pioneered the fashion statement of pairing a cardigan with an ironic t-shirt (preferably hand decorated).
I’ll tell you why it was popular. The entire liberal, anti-White entertainment-media complex declared it would be so.
An critic that dared to critique fairly as you have, would have been called racist and all the rest, putting his or her job at risk.
As with all affirm action projects, this show was just another form of it. In the high-flying 1980’s there HAD to be a black propaganda show to create “balance”
That show brainwashed an entire generation of White kids.
See any Flight of the Conchords episode for further proof.
I once stood at the corner of California & Jones on a July night and needed a leather jacket. Something’s just not right with that. Dark, quiet, cold, windy, not much nightlife after midnight. Eerie.
Candlestick….brrrrrrrrrrr!
that’s what I thought, but was afraid to offend the scots, cause I like them.
Probably all the fishermen used them.
Weren’t the different patterns and designs originally used for identification purposes?
PS The movie “Man of Aran” is incredible, and it shows how the White man deals with adversity and poverty– like a civilized being.
Whatever!
http://www.theceelist.com
Yeah but the T-shirt collar has to stick out a bit. If your t-shirt collar is wider than the sweater’s then it looks weird.
Who wants to see your white neck and moles anyway?
right, argyle sweater vest
Most people wear a fleece. If it’s considerably colder out, people wear leather jackets and or a real winter jacket. Often the sweater makes the latter feel too bulky, and if wearing a true winter jacket, the sweater is not needed nor desired.
Dude, where have you been? How’s the barebacking going?!!
Bill Cosby was dressed by NY Jews that operated the show’s wardrobe department.
I really hope entry #104 is “Websites making fun of white people”. Oh how we love our irony (#50) and meta-humor.
Yeah, that’s why they didn’t help Europe in WW2, their military uniforms were of the top quality, design, threadcount, etc. but their military skills weren’t up to the test.
So, Europe fell to communist, priest-killing, leftists for 50 years, and we can all see how well US and UK Whites are doing at preserving their status these day. 😦
WesternCiv lost WW2.
PS Google Count Ciano or Galeazzo Ciano to see the “fabulous” Italian military uniforms.
I thought Bill Cosby was white..?
Nikki welcome. All of your fans are White.
Hows Donna? (a fine White female)
Clicked on the exception link, yikes! (spoiler) Black people have to really work at being that un-hip, don’t they, or is that a white stereotype like dancing? Unless maybe it was one of my white gay friends as set stylist, having an ironic laugh – very cruel. (Or were the 80s hipster-variant pre-irony?)
Eskimos live in cold climes. Don’t forget about them.
They disprove the theory that Whites are different from Browns because of “weather”.
Whites have different genes than do Eskimos and we’re not “all the same” DNA.
tell that to Magus Ver Magnusson.
I agree however that many liberal Whites have poor posture and lack of physical development.
This is however being corrected somewhat since so many have started bicycling to work, etc.
Not to ignore the satirical nature of the subject but… Bill’s Sweaters were ok by us Black people because they were really expensive Coogi sweaters, unique and hand made in Australia and all that jazz… Biggie Smalls wore them too. Definitely not salvation army sweaters.
I love sweaters.
my white street cred is totally upped on the fact that i own one each wool sweater from Scotland and from Ireland, both of which purchased on sheep farms from each respective countries while on vacation. course it took 5 years of scrimping and saving to afford said trip- but the rest of the “in” crowd doesnt need to know that!
The Brits call them Jumpers not sweaters. Some like them tucked into trousers (sorry pants). They keep you warm and give you an excuse for not ironing your shirt.

Thank you for pointing out the grammar failure. As a white person, nothing NOTHING gets me more upset than the express check-out line. It should be “8 items or fewer.”
Seek professional help, immediately. It’s just a stupid sign, and it’s point is explicit, grammatically correct or not.
Besides, we ALL know what the most annoying thing about the supermarket is: Assholes who insist they didn’t see the express sign and not only do they bring many grocery items through the line, they also WRITE A FUCKING CHECK!
Death should be their reward.

Urban folks find farming a tough row to hoe
A new farming venture aimed at providing organic produce to residents of Seattle’s Central Area and other urban neighborhoods needs help saving its first crop.
By Sara Jean Green
Seattle Times staff reporter

STEVE RINGMAN / THE SEATTLE TIMES
Farmer Jesse Grey wants the Duvall farm to eventually become a place where young people can work the earth and gain an appreciation for hard work — and respect for all living things.
STEVE RINGMAN / THE SEATTLE TIMES
Taalib Sankofa preferred to use his hands to dig up Sparkle Peas for transplant. Because of poorly prepared soil, thousands of young plants had to be uprooted from the Duvall pasture and hauled to a field in a Kent industrial park.
STEVE RINGMAN / THE SEATTLE TIMES
Planting party in Kent
Volunteers are needed to help get thousands of peas, greens and other vegetables into the ground. A caravan will be leaving New Hope Baptist Church, located at 116 21st Ave. in Seattle, at 9 a.m. Saturday. Volunteers are also welcome to meet at the property in Kent, located on 72nd Avenue South, two blocks north of South 212th Street. For more information, call 206-323-4212 or 206-324-3114.
The Rev. Robert Jeffrey Sr. is a self-described city boy who admits he had some romantic ideas about farming — that is, until he got his hands dirty and realized how many things can go wrong when launching a small agribusiness.
Earlier this year, Jeffrey helped develop a vision: start a farm and bring affordable, organic produce to the poorest families in Seattle’s urban core. If it worked, he figured, it wouldn’t just help people’s bodies; it just might give young people in his often-violent community a chance to grow a little themselves. He teamed up with a lifelong farmer, hired a crew of workers, and found land near Duvall, where they planted peas, turnips and greens. But as summer approaches, instead of finding a bountiful harvest, Jeffrey and his crew have discovered that farming is no picnic.
They had to lay off eight workers. Because of poorly prepared soil, thousands of young plants had to be uprooted from the Duvall pasture and hauled to a field in a Kent industrial park. If they aren’t replanted soon, the plants will die. And then last week, the farm’s pickup broke down.
Despite the setbacks, Jeffrey and his team still expect to bring their harvest to market — even if money is running dangerously short.
“Farming is so expensive and the logistics of it are so major … It’s a little more daunting than I anticipated,” said Jeffrey, 61, who for nearly 22 years has been the pastor at New Hope Baptist Church, a stalwart of Seattle’s African-American community.
“But we promised the people vegetables this summer, and we want to make sure we do that.”
Harvesting an idea
The big idea sprouted in January, when a 57-year-old former Louisiana sharecropper named Jesse Grey walked into Jeffrey’s church office in the Central Area.
For nearly two decades, Grey told him, he had been searching from Omak to Sultan for land to farm as a teaching tool for at-risk kids. For a time, Grey had 5 acres near Shelton, but it just didn’t work, he said. It was too far for people King County’s poorest African-American families to make the trek to Mason County.
Jeffrey liked what he was hearing. As a founding member of the Black Dollar Days Task Force, a local nonprofit aimed at helping minority-owned businesses, he has immersed himself in issues of “environmental justice.”
It’s just not fair that poor people don’t have the same access to organic foods as their richer neighbors, he said.
A joint venture was born: The task force provided the funding and Grey, founder of Cutting Edge Inner City Farms, brought the organic know-how, culled from years of experience and research.
In February, the partners signed a five-year lease for 24 acres on West Snoqualmie River Road Northeast near Duvall on land they say has been certified organic.
Grey and a farmworker, Harry “King” Jones, moved into the rental house there and constructed a makeshift greenhouse.
Amid the weeds and rocks, Grey and a team of workers planted their crop and watched seedlings push up through the dirt.
Long, rocky road
But soon Grey realized a terrible mistake: The clay loam soil, compacted by decades of cattle grazing, had only been turned once, and it became hard and cracked. Water and nutrients weren’t getting to the tender shoots.
But Grey found a widow in Kent who had 20 acres that had lain fallow since her husband’s death. It, too, is considered organic, he said.
In exchange for clearing two miles of blackberry bushes along her driveway and planting alfalfa for her two cows, Grey, Jeffrey and their crew were given free use of her land until their first crop is harvested. In the meantime, they will be able to properly prepare the Duvall land for a winter planting.
Provided, of course, there’s enough money for it.
It has already cost at least $40,000 to get the farm going, Jeffrey said. Cash is so tight that he wasn’t sure the task force would be able to make the rent, which is due next week. But he vows they will.
Saturday, a planting party is planned at the Kent site, and Jeffrey says hundreds of hands are needed if the crop is to be saved.
He still hopes to be able to sell the first batch of vegetables in mid-July at a new farmer’s market in the New Hope parking lot. He’s inviting some Hispanic farmers from Eastern Washington to come sell their organic fruit there, too.
“I had a bad day and thought about calling it off,” he said. “We’re not rich people. We need some help … We got to get it to market — that’s the key because then, it’s real.”
Matters of persistence
As a steady rain fell in Duvall last Thursday, a group of men uprooted hundreds of pea plants and loaded them into a truck for the 35-mile trip to Kent.
Grey plucked a baby turnip from the soil: “We don’t want to lose these — this is the cash money here.”
He pointed out the mustard greens and red Russian kale. He hopped over rows of Georgia greens to show off Texas tree collards.
“These are good cancer fighters,” said Grey, who hopes to eventually give free vegetables to the Central Area’s elders. “These plants here are like the fountain of youth — they help revitalize you and if you’ve got a bad stomach problem, this will clean you out.”
It’s scary, Grey said, that kids “don’t know where their food comes from.”
Like Jeffrey, he wants the farm to eventually become a place where young people can work the earth and gain a greater appreciation for hard work — and respect for all living things.
“I feel if the kids are involved, we could cut down on crime and put a big dent in the unemployment situation,” Grey said. “If they’re working out here, they’ll be too tired to get into any trouble.”
The next day, Grey gave a Seattle chiropractor, Richard Haynes, a tour of the Kent land, where rows of tomatoes, basil, broccoli and greens are growing.
“You wouldn’t think of this being out here in this industrial zone — this is very, very cool,” said Haynes, who grew up on farms in Missouri. “I went to Whole Foods and saw how expensive it was. Good organic food is hard to find.”
Grey continued past a bunch of plastic crates filled with the uprooted pea plants from Duvall. Thankfully, the cool, damp weather has prevented the roots from molding.
“As you can see, we’re not exaggerating — I could use 100 people just to get the peas in,” Grey said.
“We need lots of help — immediately. Whoever wants to get involved, they’re welcome.”

The best thing about this is I was in a bar… wearing my vintage t-shirt and scarf with my Cardigan talking about sweaters after having a conversation with boys about which categories of white people I fall under…
stuff white people like: picking up other white people in the bar by discussing how many categories of this blog they fall into
No, it’s as gay. Urklesque even.
White people also like sweaters because they look good while playing golf.
Jesus wasn’t lynched Italian style – he was killed by a Cosby sweater!
http://www.thechrisivesexperience.com
Awesome, as usual!!! And I love that the person in the picture (I think it is clander….) is holding a Macrina bag. That place is the best to get breakfast/brunch hahahha. It is very much a “stuff white people like” kind of place 🙂
Some annoying WA dork just hijacked this blog. Curses
you forgot:

Staying Out of Jail
there is Grey area….if I have 4 tomatoes….is that 1 item, or 4?
Italy did help in WW2 – they helped the Germans – Mussolini invented the style of fascism, and they did a number on some afro-arabs for a while.
They tried at least. Give them credit!
Still don’t know why we didn’t bomb the Vatican – that would have broke the back of them Catholic Italianos
i did too!
What about the Bill Cosby sweaters? Some of those kids on the show may have been white but old Dr. Huxtable certainly wasnt
I’m a black litagator and my wife is a black cardiologist.
The Italian fascists and Nazis were impeccable dressers, especially when compared to the cheap-ass communist scum from the east.
Italy didn’t help enough in WW2, I think that’s Portnoy’s point, so the wrong side won and Europe and the western world suffered.
Alot of times some Red State buffoon voter, who lives in a state where Whites are already a minority, will say: “yeah, but would you want to be speaking german? (as opposed to Spanish or 200 hundred languages in Queens)”
They also miss the point that during the 5 year occupation of France, the Germans never imposed their language on the French. Many French liked the Nazis, and when the Americans pushed through in ’45, it enabled anti-White and anti-European commie partisans to commit horrible crimes. The Americans had no idea what kind of scum they were enabling (partisans).
Now look at what they have let Europe turn into. Look at the state of Whites in much of America too. The wrong side won WW2.
Or maybe it was just a really good show? Unlike some of the hit shows of the 70s it didn’t focus on race.
A successful, funny family that featured black people. It has to be a conspiracy because that never happens.
Priceless
HAHAHA
No one loves sweaters as much as white people
Demeter used to make awesome ski sweaters!
BTW, I want to bring the Maser back. Anyone with me?
Sweaters are absolutely part of the WHITE urbane liberal hipster douche uniform.
You miss the point (and no I am not saying do you know what a joke is). He isn’t saying that sweaters is a white-only things. The title of the blog says it all ‘Stuff White People Like’. No one ever said that other people don’t like sweaters, just that white people like them.
Actually, her name is Katrina.
Adios Timmy the left will miss you.
They had a certain flair, yes, but mostly it was copied from the Romans. They had no rhythm, which is why they were envious of the jews and blacks and thier nigeer-musicklampf jazz.
Europe is a pretty nice place, in general , of course you can’t go by a semi-automatc and GW is not president, but overall its OK.
And the red staters are ridiculous – we (americans) arent smart enough to speak 2 languages. we wouldnt be able to be speaking german.
Now that it is warmer outside, in Connecticut the white people are tying their sweaters around their necks in lieu of wearing it and sweating.

seattle white people like homeless people….
Among the 21 tons of debris removed last month from a homeless camp at a Queen Anne park, only a single bicycle and a BB gun were deemed salvageable by city crews. No other personal possessions of the 44 people camped there were saved.
Now homeless advocates are protesting what they call a wholesale trashing — in violation of a new city policy intended to save the belongings of campers.
Dewey Potter, a spokeswoman for the Seattle Parks Department, responded that city crews had trouble determining what was salvageable among items soaked with rain, dirt or urine.
Better and more training will help crews in future “cleanup actions” decide what is salvageable and worth $25 or more, which is the cutoff point at which possessions should be preserved, she said.
“It’s fair to say we have some improvements to make,” she said.
The sweep of the homeless camp is part of a more aggressive effort to police illegal camping by the homeless in city parks. After protests last year, following the sweep of a greenbelt along Aurora Avenue North, Mayor Greg Nickels’ office created a policy requiring advance notice be posted at targeted camps, and for belongings worth at least $25 be bagged and stored.
But Tim Harris, publisher of Real Change, a nonprofit advocacy magazine, said the recent sweep of a greenbelt near Queen Anne’s Kinnear Park violated that policy.
He noted that the city of Fresno, Calif., recently had to pay $2.3 million to settle a class-action lawsuit on behalf of homeless people whose belongs were tossed during sweeps of homeless camps.
“There’s well-established legal precedent that you can’t just do a search-and-seizure and throw the stuff away,” said Harris. “They’ll eventually (lose) legally, but it will take two or three years, and in the mean time these people don’t have the stuff.”
Doug McKeehen, an advocate for the homeless who works at the Aloha Inn transitional housing facility, said losing personal belongings has a “horrendous impact” on a homeless person trying to find a job or stable housing.
“They see the time the city takes their stuff as a defining moment in their lives: before the city took our stuff and after the city took our stuff,” said McKeehen.
Potter said about five duffel bags of belongs were bagged and tagged by date during the recent cleanup. But a crew chief in charge of determining what was salvageable “found they were so contaminated with urine she had to back away and the bags were tossed,” said Potter.
The annual One Night Count of the homeless in King County in January found 2,631 “unsheltered” people sleeping outside or in cars. If shelters or transitional housing is included, there are an estimated 8,600 homeless on any given night in the county.

It’s not white/canadian to do that, it is broiler room, flaming gay. Terms unique to england are basically gay to begin with; Americans using them is are red hot, san transcisco, flaming fags.
Not that I have anything against faggos: to each his own favorite menu item. I’m just saying no straight dude will use these terms of his own free will.
Im guessing its 4 items, unless they are on the vine. Are 2 cases of diet coke 1 item? no its two, so 4 tomatoes would be separate.
Long much?
I always wanted to be homeless for a month to see if i could do it, like as an experiment. I would probably end up turning tricks on a street corner to buy meth after about day 3. Poor homeless people.
This was the first good post in a while. Well done, sir.
Real men wouldn’t be caught dead in a sweater. Wearing a sweater means you’re either whipped or gay, take your pick.
Excellent post. One of the best in a while. Poor people like pizza.
http://www.poorpeoplelikepizza.blogspot.com.
What the heck are YOU doing on California and Jones?? Go away! Shoo!
I love your blog, very damn funny and I am so not offended. I live in the Portland area!
it’s sort of unfair experiemnt, becuase if you were homeless, in your present state, you would have the skills/wherewithall to get off the streets.
i’d say at least 75% of homeless are mental ill. and in WA we defunded a bunch of mental health care.
but they could sure use a few sweaters! it’s cold up here
haha. that stuff god hates one is pretty damn funny.
How could you make a post about sweaters and NOT mention Leslie Hall???
There is some truth to that. In the old days, before our time, they were called hobos.
But, there were sure alot less of them.
Blame the breakdown of the family, and how American society is now much more geared towards that inevitability for many.
With illegitimacy rates quadruple what they once were, this is bound to happen.
So, ask yourself what has led to societal acceptance of illegitimacy and then you have the root answer.
PS I miss when Seattle was really an honest White place, full of loggers, Boeing employees, and real White men with families.
The degradation is obvious.
But they are for the tourists. Most Scots and Irish today are into Paul Van Dyk and wouldn’t be caught dead in one.
thank you black man for the honesty.
PS Jew lawyers attending NBA games had them before you guys did.
The Nazis were envious of jews and blacks???
Now I’ve heard it all.
Gee, I can see why they were envious of “Sigmund Freud” who stated that incest is the key to the White mind.
Anyone who doesn’t understand just how much Jews hate Whites is clueless.
Guatemala has a tropical climate. You must mean the sweaters from countries in the Andes Mountains such as Bolivia, Chile, and Peru.
[Oxford Comma intentionally inserted. Discuss amongst yourselves.]

Jumping to Conclusions

You forgot Fair Isle sweaters. Is anything whiter than a Fair Isle sweater with pearl buttons?
Darwinian indeed: As long as idiots like you continue to spew your venom, concessions will be made and favoritism will be used for the minorities, aboriginals, etc. because you prove that they are still necessitated. You play a hand in your own destruction. You let your hatred for Jews and blacks overtake your common sense.
If you’re going to be racist, at least be smart enough to do it in private and not in public forums, on TV, etc. Or, go ahead and do that and let us profit.
Say,
Aren’t you the one who runs that fear of flying website?
Hey man, I got nothin against your racist ass. The more you talk, the easier it is for my kids to get a scholarship. Preach on, brotha!
“Typing in “ugly sweater party” into Google will return a wealth of images and a dearth of diversity.”
I hope the author meant “lack of diversity” since that’s what dearth means… I don’t think that’s what he meant, however.
From MW.com:
dearth (n)
1: scarcity that makes dear; specifically : famine
2: an inadequate supply : lack
Just throwing that out there. 🙂
Did CLander screw up or did doing a sweater post in the summer make no sense? I think a picture of white people in sweaters with their cool black friends in summer cloths might have cinched this. How about Barack Obama in a polo shirt surrounded by white people in sweaters? I need photographic evidence before I buy into this sweater theory.

Lamb chop is a hand puppet.
No there daughter went to princeton hoping to become a lawyer, then found a man who wanted ot become a doctor, but then they decided not to do either and opened up a store that sells outdoor sporting equiptment. They ended up with twins.
Yes you are, NO white person should like Wal-mart unless it is the only store in town, then I would suggest moving.
Actually everyone has the exact same genes, its just some of the genes are turned on, and some are not. Genes can get turned on and off every other generation. It goes with the evolution theory. I will use a giraffe as an example, giraffes have always had the ability for long necks, its just that their environment didnt really need long necks until trees became more scarce and the leafs on the bottom parts of a tree were being eaten. And evolution works on a population as a whole and not by individuals so the few giraffes who had longer necks would survive because they could reach for higher food, while smaller necked giraffes would die out. Thats why most giraffes have long necks today. Same with humans, Eskimos have a darker skin for similar reasons africans have darker skin. While it may seem like eskimos get less light, with them living on the snow they can get similar amount of light then africans, because the sun will reflect off the ice and will force the eskimos to adapt to the reflecting sun, and to prevent cancer/sun burn etc, eskimos have developed darker skin. White people only have light skin because they lived in an environment with less sun, but little snow and ice, so there skin wasnt forced to be darker to protect them.
Ultra White guys love to be confused for gay, because that means they are very attractive and well maintained and could score people from both sexes.
Thats the point of the blog, white people love to wear sweaters in the summer.
Dont deny it until you’ve tried it.
You fat filthy pig, dreaming of becoming a street whore, you fucking strumpet cunt.
Sweaters for any color. Blue, red, you-name-it. Even whites.
http://whiteliesknits.wordpress.com/
It IS pretty much the only store in town….
Huh?
Whites now see Neocon jews for what they are, and their war. They are White-hating selfish racists.
Whites now see how much Blacks are racists, by supporting illegals and voting 90% for Obama.
Whites see LaRaza racists and bigots for what they are.
Whites are the LEAST racistly aware and bigoted people in the USA, everyone else tops Whites on the racist scale.
That is changing however as Whites see just how they are being repaid for all their charity and benevolence over the last decades.
Whites see you racist pricks for what you really are.

“Neither man had known enemies. Both were well-educated, came from affluent Toronto neighbourhoods and were “certainly not – and never have been – living any high-risk or criminal lifestyle,” said Det. Sgt. Gary Giroux.
At this point, police are investigating the double homicide as a carjacking.
“The only motive that makes sense,” Dudeck called it. “These were wonderful guys.”
Ellis is the grandson of renowned Toronto philanthropist, Mariano Antonio Elia, who died in 2006. An aspiring photographer, the 25-year-old lived with his parents and three siblings in Rosedale. Martin, also 25, grew up just a few blocks away. He lived with one of his three sisters in a downtown condo.
This seemingly random attack shocked the city. Mayor David Miller offered his condolences to the families and reiterated his pledge to get guns off Toronto streets.”
this is amazing. I was wearing a button down cardigan sweater with a slayer t-shirt just today! SWPL never ceases to entertain.
Lamb chops are tasty when cooked properly.
First off, I did like the show. It was on in the late 80s, though, and not the 70s. You had me feeling older than I am. 🙂
I believe we have the highest ratio of serial killers too. Some of which are like Hannibal Lechter and enjoy killing people who are mean and call people bad words. 🙂
The P in WASP stands for “Protestant.” This means that few of the right kind of white people can be WASPs (see #2). You can accurately describe most of them as WAS, though, which I find humorous.
It’s how they’re rung up. If they are being sold by the tomato, then they are four separate items. If they are sold by the pound and can be rung up at once they count as one item.
It goes along with your “on the vine” idea.
That is what the author meant. If you read it again you will note that he was talking about how only white people enjoy ugly sweater parties. Only Dr. Huxtable was willing to cross the racial divide into the ugly sweater.
Oh yeah, it is obligatory that I point out #99.
I could really go for fava beans and a nice chianti right now. Stupid neighbor’s dog keeps planting ideas in my head.
It would be nice it someone would design a little sweater for our cocks, that we could walk around on Castro with our gear out and check all the little sweaters.
wow man you have a lot of hits
could you please add me to your blogroll? if you add me i will add you too!

It is just admitting you are getting old and that you will readily accept a sweater for a christmas gift. It highlights your laziness in not ironing or pressing a shirt and taking the easy option.

PS click on that link above and see the 2 that were killed by their own pro-diverse petard.
They hated White Canada, yet it was anti-White racists that killed them.
Let that be a lesson to douce Whites. Look at their photos. I guess their “cool” demeanor didn’t help them. Fools.

*
The ‘Reafricanization’ of the West: F. Roger Devlin investigates the causes of the low white fertility rate, including feminist ideology, the decline of masculinity, and the high divorce rate. Mr. Devlin also draws a disturbing analogy between the sexual hedonism now prevalent in the West with the culture of black Africans, with the one key difference—the latter are reproducing.
*
In Brilliant to Bogus, Thomas Jackson reviews Debating Immigration, a collection of essays edited by Carol Swain, (a black professor at Vanderbilt University well-known for her book The New White Nationalism.) This book presents a wide range of views on mass immigration, carefully examined and summarized by Mr. Jackson.
*
The Perils of Scholarship: Author Jonathan Entine describes his experiences broaching two taboos: racial differences, and Jewish achievement in particular. Mr. Entine is author of Taboo: Why Black Athletes Dominate Sports and Why We’re Afraid to Talk About It and Abraham’s Children: Race, Identity, and the DNA of the Chosen People. This background gives him a unique vantage point from which to assess the current mainstream attitudes toward these important and controversial topics.

Plus, the Hispanic invasion continues to transform the American landscape, AR editor Jared Taylor speaks at the College of William and Mary and Texas A&M University, Asians latch on to victimization, more legal troubles for Brigitte Bardot, and more!

I dont dream of becoming a street whore, I am a highclass hooker. I make more money in 45 minutes then you make in 6 months. Dont be jealous, just because your Uncle Gary had his “way” with you when you 8, doesnt mean you have to take it out on others.
If you do not like White people, or if you do not relate to any of the above posts, I suggest you get your little fantasy ideas out of here and into some “Hentai” site that im sure would please you more.
Street whores are people too, but im sure you dont tell yourself that when you cheat on your “partner”, to justify your act. Have a sparklerific day!
here’s a funny one, black people and other people of races other than white that spend all their time studying white people! hahahaha… those types of people must have an enormous envy complex! i feel sorry for those types.

And all this, worn by an otherwise adorable young man.

Clander should address the issue that not only do white people wear sweaters and scarves in HOT weather, white people, especially in college, will wear shorts and flip flops in sub zero temperatures.
What up wit dat?
The students are drunk, stoned, and hungover. They have no idea how cold it is. A good state to be in, in this vile country.
I wear sweaters. When I’m cold.
Dude! I thought white people liked grammar! It’s “fewer buttons”:)
You know, one thing I noticed about this blog about white people: Most of the things listed are things that are trendy. The in thing now I know is beinga vegan, driving a Prius, voting for Obama, being an enviro-freaker, watching Al Gore movies, blah, blah, blah. I believe most of these people are both Gen Y’s, the off spring of the ever present Baby Boomers and Baby Boomers themselves. I’m fairly certain there are white people that still eat cheeseburgers, drink Coors Light, drive a Ford Taurus and other really boring things.
Very Funny.

“Aspiring teacher killed in robbery
By Andrew Maykuth
Beau Zabel, 23, came to Philadelphia from Minnesota six weeks ago, eager to experience urban East Coast living and to become a math teacher in the city school system.
He found a place to live through roommates.com in South Philadelphia near the Italian Market, and took a temporary job at the Starbucks at Fourth and South Streets.
He recently updated his page on MySpace.com, which proclaims his optimism: “Just waiting for life to begin.”
But his life ended about 1:30 a.m. yesterday, when police said Zabel was ambushed as he walked home from the midnight shift at the coffee shop. He was shot once in the neck in the 800 block of Ellsworth Street and fell to the sidewalk, police said.
He was pronounced dead at the scene.
The motive was robbery, said Sgt. Frank Hayes of the homicide squad. No arrests have been made. …”

I definitely got invited to an ugly sweater party during the winter months. I didn’t go because I don’t have an ugly sweater…why would I waste my money on one?
Does this include white people who knit their own sweaters?
YES! I had more than one (for color coordination). In my defense, whites were a minority whereas the majority of my high school population was Mexican or Mexican-American. It was like wearing a scratchy blanket that absorbed stink.
I’m just barely supressing my white person urge to correct the grammar and misspelling in the posts above. Especially “litagator”….
seattle misses you too.
well yeah if you live in a cold or sometimes foggy clime, and you aren’t 300 lbs, you get cold, hence sweaters. I have a sweater almost exactly like that one. Those things aren’t cheap, the real ones. We wear shoes too, sometimes boots, you know, for all the nature walks. Uggs used to be made in the land down under, but I heard they sold out to China. Keeping warm, dude. What’s the big deal?
Amen to that! All the hipster kiddies out here look exactly the same. So boring. And why do they all have that same stupid hairstyle? I mean, I realize that white people try to look cool for everyone else, but come ON!
Hey, clander, you should do a post about hipster conformism, masked as “originality”. That would be great (and the friggin’ truth)!
Remove the label is a good one 😉
To the white guy that does this blog:
White people overwhelmingly like conservative politics, NASCAR, hockey (the biggest redneck sport ever) and they hate anything different. Make fun of those white people for once. Grow some balls
The white guy that does this blog is at least 300
You are full of crap. Most whites tend to be moderate to liberal, NASCAR is a southern phenomenon, hockey is a niche sport with a small following. Now, the white people who do like hockey, are conservative and think watching cars go around and around is the greatest thing since sliced bread definitely need to be made fun of.
How many black guys in the Republican party? Fucking 5? How many non whites in the entire Republican party? like 10.
How do you know he was liberal? Oh you’re just stupid.
Stuff White People Like commentator lifecycle:
o amusement, enchantment, humor
o self-reflection, or denial
o outrage at the hatred splayed here
o engagement in dialog (or attempts at such)
and almost finally, after AOP (assholes on parade) trash any possibility of real dialog:
o disenchantment and disengagement, jadedness
What happens next? Detachment. No book purchase. Rejection as a “bad experience.” Or return to the beginning and cycle through the process again.
Ha! We take ourselves so seriously — isn’t the point of this blog to lighten up and laugh at the silly things we people do?
Hey, I’ve done some dumb shit, taken myself way too seriously, taken some of the barbs in this blog (and its comments) too seriously, and you know what? None of this matters at all, except as Race Card Theater. Perhaps “hate theater” is a better moniker.
Oh well, at least it’s sometimes amusing. I can just ignore the comments, as far too often they’re not much more than pseudo-personal attacks based on assumptions, or ridiculous platforms from which to spew spam masquerading as thought.
Wait, is that ironic? (lol)
At least “sweaters” was better (for me anyway) than the one on childrens’ games. Keep on keepin’ on, you’re still pissing people off and still making people laugh. Clearly you’re sitting on a gold mine.
Nothing to see here, carry on…
“Fewer buttons,” not “less buttons.” I think white people everywhere would appreciate correct grammar.
Also, less garbage like “White People in the News” and shameless self-promotion of the new book and more content.
It’s pretty obvious from his making all the bad choices leading this liberal kid toward putting himself in that position in south killadelphia after midnight in the first place.
Only a liberal could be that clueless. But then again, most liberals get their cues about blacks from TV shows, not real life.
I wonder what it is that drives fine White women and men to turn their backs on White children to go try and convert the non-Whites.
There is more abuse of White teachers by non-white thugs today than ever before. Only an idiot father would let his 22-year old female (or male) offspring go risk themselves with these groids.
Whites are leaving the Democratic Party. The Clintons, edwards, Dodd et all spent their entire careers as White race-traitors, kissing the asses of non-Whites.
The minute a non-White appears on their scene, what happens? The non-Whites stab the Clintons et al in the back — and hard.
Now the Clintons finally see how racist the non-Whites are. Foisted on their own petard. Whites are slow to learn, but they see just how much Jews and blacks abandon them, the first time they have the chance.
Haha…..Clintons, you have no home anymore.
Life is a zero sum game. The earth can only support so many people, there is no way cooperation can therefore be beneficial to both sides. Every time you give a non-white a job, have a non-white’s child, or give foreign aid to a non-white, that’s one less white that the world can now support that could’ve been had instead.
Our current ‘cooperation’ has watched the percentage of the world’s white population drop from 40% in 1900 to 10% today. How much more ‘mutual benefit’ can we take? The fact is we are too small a minority to think about race mixing or immigration anymore, this is a luxury that you can afford only with a STABLE BASE that is not threatened with itself being destroyed. A white homeland that exports additional whites who then race mix or settle into diverse areas is acceptable, every single white country on earth being invaded by foreigners is not.
i hate sweaters
I only have crabs, I call them my special little friends, because they are always there when I feel lonely! I choose to do this job, and its not for the money. Im the heir to a large discount retail chain, and money is certainly not an issue. I just love screwing, it fills up my time when im not buying diamonds or crashing bentleys. Im sorry that you had to wait to when you were older for your money to make money. There is an 70% chance I will die young, you know from the constent threat of unprotected sex and meth usage, so I might as well spend like theres no tomarow. Maybe one day you will pay off your house and you will have a lovely time watching wheel of fortune when your 80. While im doing coke off of lindsey lohans ass, and buying 5k hermes purses to pick up my dogs shit. Have fun with your life, and I will have fun with mine!
and shorts and flip-flops in the winter………..
Okay – I have been seeing this trend with white people for years, but didn’t realize it was rampant everywhere. My husband still refuses to wear any type of sweater – he thinks it is too hot and too bulky….he is probably not the “right” type of white person. He is much COOLER anyway.
Those are the wrong kind of white people, silly.
“If France ends up adopting affirmative action blacks will still end up at the bottom. If France does nothing blacks will still end up at the bottom. People will still complain about racism. Isn’t fun being smarter than all the journalists and policy makers in the world?”
HAHA. Good stuff http://thenewfaith.org/
I can spot an Asian from a mile away.
White people only like quality sweaters like sheepskin or argyll, none of this cheap wal mart stuff!

this blog should be called http://www.adumbassblackdudewithwaytoomuchtimeandnoknowledgeofwhitepeoplewhatsoever.com
Not to mention in the original post… The use of “less” rather than “fewer” irked me, but that’s probably just because white people like to correct grammatical errors.
The author of this blog is a pasty white Canadian dude. Do some homework! And laugh more.
White teenagers like hoodies with designs on them. It’s like mass individuality.
Whites need to wake up.
The idea that the ANC and Mandela is a “good thing”, like the idea of obama, is the FUTURE DEATH of Whites.
The South Africa/Detroit model is not worth repeating. If you are a douche bag white reading this, think about future generations of Whites. Let them live — please.

That Cardigan line had me cracking up, “which is essentially a wool jacket with less buttons”
http://www.WindUpLounge.com
Shouldn’t it be “fewer buttons”? “Button” is a count noun, not a non-count noun, right?
Shouldn’t it be “fewer buttons”? “Button” is a count noun, not a non-count noun, right?
I’ll drink to that, I had the crabs on my first tour 1966, I still laugh about it, but my next tour I caught the clap, 1968, I stay away from whores after that, but I found a great cure to all of life ills. Heroin! Much better than that shitty coke and meth, try you will love it, and enjoy your crabs! Be well!
yes, i just love j crew!

White people do enjoy their sweaters. about as much as their love their hookers.
http://everythingbutamericansucks.wordpress.com
i just pooped myself
Has anyone mentioned that we White folks love to layer our sweaters and t-shirts? I myself wear several shirts everyday for a fun, daring fashion statement that also shows I can afford more than one shirt. Anyway, it’s a phenomenon I can’t seem to ignore anymore.
I would like to call attention to the following sentence:
“The most popular example of this is the cardigan sweater, which is essentially a wool jacket with less buttons. ”
Please note that it should read “fewer buttons”.
i love that you’ve got the guy in belltown– with a macrina bag. classic.
Brilliant as usual.

Yeah, I just grabbed a “like new” Bannana Republic sweater at the Goodwill for $3.50… booyaah!
I miss Britches Great Outdoors. Any of you east coast folks remember that? I need to find me a gray plastic warthog keychain on ebay, it fell of my LL Bean monogrammed backpack long long ago…
Your next entry should be (#104)
Stuff White People Like: Being Financially Independent, Community Oriented, Socially Conscious, Law Abiding, Well Mannered, and Not Being a Burden on Society. In other words, generally things needed to have a productive society.
Unlike most minorities.
Censor me and I will become offended! On behalf of a minority, of course.
This post was spell checked and has proper grammar. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, whitey.
*DEAD* laughing at the link to the Cosby’s. That is honestly the most HIDEOUS sweater I think I have ever seen in my young adult life. ROFLMAOOOOO!
“tony” and “hottie”
Port, I wish you’d start a blog of your own, it’s hard to read through all the noise to get to your comments. For me, they speak a certain raw, sometimes ugly, truth. Inconvenient.
I assume someone already pointed out the grammar mistake in this post?
“a wool jacket with FEWER (not less) buttons”
I’ve worn sweaters to work every day this week.
Tomorrow I’m not gonna stop.
“which is essentially a wool jacket with less buttons.”
FEWER buttons.
I’m white.
WOW It amazes me how the people here get so far off the subject.
I love sweaters and if you live in PA then you really them no matter what you are.
http://www.culturallycool.com
I live in Georgia. If it gets that cold that you need a sweater, you go inside. Pretty much whatever race you are, you go inside.
I think #104 used be “Conga Lines”. Every wedding I have been to has sent out this rhythmic bat-signal and white people have marched in step, step, step, kick to the pied piper of white people, Buster Poindexter.
This blog is fantastic and very clever. It reminds me a lot of the Preppy Handbook so poular in the late 80’s. I actually had a friend who thought it was serious and who shopped according to the list of must haves and ‘looks’ – He is white – I am black. it is too bad that many out here cannot just ride along on the humor and enjoy. Wit is missing sorely in North America. Thanks fro bringing a bit of it back.
I have that cream sweater… I am white…
Hmmm…this is pretty funny..but it seems that the white people we make fun of in the south are the one’s who are considered “white trash”. With the “cool crowd” sweaters are actually kind of corny sometimes, the same thing with certain bangs. If the bangs are cut a certain way or layered or look like a celeb then they’re cool..but there’s things in the north people think are cool that people here would think is really dorky looking…some sweaters are that example.
However, I have no room to talk, the south has its huge share of white weirdos too. Its just a little different. This seems really Northwest coast-ish.
P.S. In the south we don’t care about grammar. HA. Let’s make fun of that!
Hey jocko, that’s “fewer buttons”, not “less buttons”.
The entries are great. The book is fun. Readers who haven’t bought the book yet – you have to get it. It is worth the pennies on the dollar for the extra content.
I’ve read the Sweater post before and thought of the white hipsters who wear Sweaters. They’ve even found their way into pop culture via Kurt Cobain and Weezer, who even made a song about it. The sweater logic here seems to be so true – Gap and Banana Republic sweaters aren’t cool, even though these shops make perfectly good sweaters. My advice (when a white person asks where you got your sweater) is to pretend you bought it at Buffalo Exchange. Mention how little you paid (even if you really paid over $40). I have seen tons of Gap and Banana Republic recycled there and white people love Buffalo Exchange!
I hadn’t followed the links on the post, so I was not ready for the horror when I clicked the Google search for ugly sweater party. OMG! The sweater post sounds tame in comparison to the visuals of the search results. Consider yourself warned.
Do white people actually sweat in sweaters? It seems that if you’re going to sweat, you should take off your sweater.
Fewer! fewer buttons!
I’ve seen more old black men wearing cardigans than young white ones.
How do you explain”The Bill Cosby Sweaters” of the 80s?
dun, dun DUHN!
I thought mine was funnier.
http://doobiekeebler.wordpress.com/
You’re an asshole. I’m white and I like fucking sweaters.
There was actually a time when I couldn’t afford a fucking sweater. I wore shitty old clothes that looked like I got them from the salvation army and in fact in some cases I did. Guess what? It wasn’t “cool” to have “street cred” — it just sucked!
Then I went back to school and got an education and a good job. Now I do all the the shit in your list — eat organic food, recycle, go to dinner parties, go to breakfast places, eat sushi, etc, etc. And wear sweaters too. Guess what? I’m a lot fucking happier than I was when I was goddamn poor. I love it so much, in fact, that I’m going back to graduate school (another thing on your list) so I can do even more with my life.
Cram it, dude.
Hey chill out. It’s just a silly blog post, not the end of the world. Good for you that you did all those things, but that has nothing to do with sweaters. Chill out and go drink a cup of white tea.
haha you suck whitey
cliff huxtable liked sweaters too
i can see my house in the background of that picture!
What is so terrible about having a sitcom which depicted black people in a positive light? White if the shows only portrayed them as inner city dwelling and impoverished?
Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

Wow. Chill out dude. It’s just a blog. If you don’t like it, don’t read it.
That comment confirms that you don’t have any non-white friends.
Dear “real person,”
I hear you like to fuck sweaters. Call me?
Fellow whitie (and sweater lover),
Grady
White people liked Bill Cosby in the 80s.
I drive a Ford Taurus and eat cheeseburgers. I also enjoy sushi and wear nice sweaters. Last time I checked people have always worn sweaters, regardless of color, as an alternative to, say, a jacket, which I also wear. I didn’t know that wearing a sweater meant I was trying to be trendy. Why can’t everyone just do what they like without being stereotyped? I don’t know why people like this blog. Whoever said this blog is clever is very wrong. It most certainly is not clever, or witty. All it is is just cynical, mean, and ignorant. It makes me so sad to think that people are now relating “humor” with “making fun of others”. The sign of true intelligent humor is that you don’t have to be mean to do it. I mean, how low can you go? Do you really want to stoop to this level? Also, if this blog were dedicated to any other race people would only say how ignorant people are and they wouldn’t find it half as funny. Well I say it doesn’t matter what race it is, it’s still racist. I’m completely offended and more so just disgusted with society on a whole. You all should be ashamed of yourselves. And possibly find an actual hobby. Go. Try and be useful people. I dare you.
he was white.
Look, people, you need to take this list with a little bit of humor. It’s poking fun at upper middle class people who typically enjoy this sort of thing. People make fun of other cultures all the time. This is just a joke of ‘white culture’. The fact that people get angry is part of what makes it funny, too. You can find people of any race who do these things, it’s just usually whites. Laugh at yourself, laugh at other people, but please, never take it seriously; it will bite you back when your laughing at an asian joke.
what the hell is there to “like” about swearters? i’m seeing comments on people saying that they “like” sweaters, but they’re just clothes! When did you suddenly grow an opinion about them? Oh yeah, after you read this article so you could bash it.
So true! I have a sweater I ‘scored’ back in high school (over 13 years ago) from Goodwill that I still wear! I do find myself feeling quite proud of the fact that it was only 25 cents!
Who’s Bill Cosby?
this blog is dissing white people.
Hahahahahaaa!!! Grady, I just laughed so hard at your…joke (???).
I love sweaters! But I love dry people, too…
The Puerto Rican that I am, I wear the same sweaters that White people wear…
I guess I am White!!!
My White likes dominate the Hispanic likes. Most of the Hispanics likes I do not like at all. Except for food.
Thank you so much!!
Regards,
Frank
Note the sweater above!! I have one like it at home. What a great analogy, for the Puerto Rican that I am.
Much regards,
Frank
So sad, so true, particularly the thrift store sweater finds. I believed I was immune to most of this list but apparently not.
I used to wear sweaters like the white one above when I was a kid and winter still kind of existed in South Florida. Now, it’s a miracle if the thermometer hits the 40s.

FEWER buttons, not less buttons. See #99.
My friend and I are trying to figure out what those scratchy blanket sweaters are called. Anyone have a clue?
I have sinned. I belive I have that sweater in navy without the cuffs. Shit I thought I could escape it. Guess not huh?
Has anyone ever watched The Cosby Show?
Sweaters are necessary for upper latitudes where most white people are from. I like sweaters but agree that cardy’s are not done very well by people. We might as well wear knit togas.
If a cardigan is a bad version of a jacket, then those awful shrugs that women wear (you know, sleeves and yoke but no body covering below the boobs) are basically a cheesy version of a shawl.
yup.
I love jackets….or hoodies but they are close to sweaters for me lol.
I wear the tight girl/guy jackets mainly
sometimes cut off the sleaves and where a long sleave and a t-shirt with it…
it looks good
Sweaters are for dorky yuppies.

Sorry, don’t own a sweater, wouldn’t wear one at gunpoint.
Sorry, no sweaters. NEVER have worn one since I was able to dress myself and don’t remember any before that.
No Sweaters, no scarves, no Coffee…
Started knitting custom wool socks last year. That mushroomed into custom sweaters. My concept is different that anyone else’s.
You pick the pattern you desire. You choose the yarn and I do the hand knitting.
Yes, hand knitting. Not a machine but my hands. Many people use a machine and then sew up the seams and call it “hand knitting’. Takes me up to 16 hours just to knit a pair of wool socks.
Thanks for reading.

I love seeing a hot looking man in a thick sweater. Wish they were more popular in lower Michigan.
you lying dogg.you wear em all the time. i can tell just the way you type.
i know you chilly. i know you chilly. i know you is.
and you got the scarves and gloves to match.
and you love coffee. cause you get chilly at night.
everybody wears sweaters, this site is kinda lame if u ask me. 1/2 this shit i never seen white people do, I grew up in a getto ass city in Illinois and the white dudes I kno are more getto fabulous then alotta black dudes I meet in Arizona. i.e. I always carry louisiana hot sauce in my glove box 4 when i have chicken or fish, the restaraunts only have woop ass tabasco sauce, I also go for nothing but NON-white girls w/big asses that stick out and are NOT firm w/all that no-good hard muscle. What about REAL white shit like burnin crosses or drivin a beat up pickup w/a confederate flag wavin on the cab mounted w/ducktape while you listen to nascar on your AM station and reminisce when Dick Trickle was on top of the game while you chug Blue ribbon beers? or playing Kenny G’s christmas album the whole month before xmas? and calling your new engagement ring “bling bling”. I can tell u that I remember seein Biggie smalls inna thick knitted sweater as well.
The ugly sweater thing is definately a “white American” thing. I have visited the US and it is the land of the ugly sweater. My personal favourite is when the whole family don them for the annual Christmas photo – tasteful!
theres cute ones @ jcrew http://www.SHOP-LUSCIOUS.com

If you want Quentin Tarantino to think you are cool, get one with “MR DOG.” on it. It has to be sleeveless and the dog has to have googly eyes.
Two words — Bill Cosby. nuff said.
Oh man, the notable exception just killed me. AHAHA
I must be so white: two years ago I found a perfect heavy wool sweater, vintage Gap, navy blue, at a thrift shop in Montreal for $8 ! Such a sweater is an essential part of my wardrobe, to be worn with bue jeans, khakis, grey slacks or even white trousers, or nonchalantly draped over your shoulders with a jeans shirt and khakis or a dressy white shirts with stripes and jeans. $8 !
Was $8 too much to pay? I am parsimonious…
this site kills me! too funny! OMG….laughed so hard I fell out of my cardigan!
Bill Cosby is white. Haven’t you been paying attention?
You’re haven’t reached the elite white status until you’ve knitted your own sweater.
Hmmm…I think I’m white. Only I’m a black chick with locs. What ever shall I do? Great point on KNITTING your own sweater. This also works if you knit your own winter caps, gloves ans scarves…
Fascinating! STILL love this blog.
I’m a white woman and I own lots of small, thin sweaters 🙂
I know a very white girl who was wearing her mother’s snowflake sweater the other day. Ironically, I also just lent her my copy of the Science of Sleep (directed by Michel Gondry.) This is really white shit.
My lord, I am so white I don’t even know what to do with myself. I pretty much can identified 100% with everything on this site. Does it make matters worse that I go to a liberal arts college in the PacNW? 😦 I fear so.
This above comment is fraudulent. Joel S. Raznick did not write it. It’s offensive, and I request that it’s removed from this blog immediately.
Oh man, I am so psyched to have reached the elite. I have knitted 2 of my own sweaters, 1 scarf, and countless blankets and Christmas stockings.
OMG. I have a sweater just like that in the top picture. hey, asians like them too you know.
Yes, yes it does.
and your name doesn’t help
Hey, Guess what? I do the knitting for sweaters just like the ones that you posted. I also hand knit coats, leg warmers and even socks and mittens.
Everyone loves my concept! They pick out the sweater design they want to turn heads, together we find the yarn they want to feel soft while wearing and then I do the knitting. Simple as that!
I knit exactly to everyones measurements so that they get a true fit, not an off the rack fit!
Lots of lovely people have turned heads when they walk down the street, or walked into a crowded room. And why all this fuss about a sweater or other hand knitted item “because not all people are created equal”!
Like the idea of having a sweater that fits you? Contact me:
lickstone@gmail.com
i shit you not, i have been thinking lately that i need a couple more sweaters. i already have like 3.
I was looking at sweaters at Value Villiage 😦 I thought I was being “unique”.
God… I am so white…
I do have a closet full of small, thin sweaters too.
I like to go to thrift stores to find jackets with patches on the elbows. I haven’t found one I actually like yet, but I am eagerly hoping one day I will find a gem.
This article is absolutely mortifying to read and rings very true in my life. I have probably about 10+ sweaters (in my defense, I do live in northern Minnesota where it can get as cold as -40 degrees and probably averages around 0 in the winter). In fact, I am wearing a sweater right now; it is white and has pink, blue, and gray geese on it. Some other sweaters I own worth mentioning: a red one with a furry white dog on it (complete with a red bow), a very hot pink sweater with a butterfly, and a thick blue sweater that has the flags of the US, Canada, Britain, and Sweden on it. Of course, I also have a puke yellow cardigan which is pretty essential to my collection. I am known among my friends and around my college campus as the girl who wears the funny sweaters. My friend tried to convince me to have a sweater coming out party this year when it started to get cold. The item of clothing I am trying to find for this winter: can you guess what that might be? A sweater dress, of course! So I can wear it with tights and feel like a even bigger badass. One horror story I have: I had a really cool sweater with a deer in the middle, surrounded by a circle of hearts….my mom washed it and shrunk it! That was a hard day for me. One thing a sweater wearer must be knowledgeable about is how to wash their sweaters because otherwise they will not last long. What I recommend is not washing them more than I couple times a season. Another problem I have encountered: my friends like to steal my sweaters. They will come over to my house only wearing a tee shirt and they will ask to borrow a sweater. I, of course, lend them out and then spend months and months not seeing that sweater again. Sometimes I get sweater envy when someone else has a sweater that I not only want, but feel that I deserve. There is also nothing I like better than getting compliments on my sweaters. On the opposite side, one time I got really annoyed when my younger sister asked me to borrow a sweater for “Ugly Sweater Day” at her high school. I guess that is all I have to say about sweaters. Good, embarrassing article!
Sweaters are underappreciated. A nice wool sweater can keep you warmer than a sweatshirt, even when it’s wet. Plus they last a long time and can take a lot of abuse, unlike said sweatshirt.
Man, those hipsters – they’re always picking the best sweaters off the racks before the rest of us normal white folks can get to ’em.
Ooooooh, Suzie, I bet those “wardrobe makeover ladies” on television would like to get hold of you 🙂
Hey Suzie, see the post below from Suzanne … maybe she’ll knit you a sweater dress.
i just wrote an article about seasonal sweaters
http://www.joepettis.com/2008/10/seasonal-sweaters-great-part-of_08.html
we white people just eat them up
I HATE sweaters with stupid snowmen,pumpkins or any other holiday theme. Those are only appropriate when you’re still a child. lol.
Nice.
1. Sweaters, in all their incarnations, are the shit.
2. The guy in the picture is in Seattle carrying a Macrina’s bag presumably containing something else white people like: brioche.
Here’s a thrift shop sweater story for ya (we call them op shops in Australia, at least in my part of it) – Just under ten years ago I saw a hideously ugly vinyl zip-up Adidas jacket that reminded me of the tracksuits my parents made us wear only a couple years before that to keep warm as we prepared for white-people sports, and bought it for like $5 as a joke. And wore it, also as a joke, which only a few people got. Fast forward a couple years and people were actually actively looking for those things in thrift shops, a while later Adidas started making them again and selling them $40 and upward. I was wearing – ironically – a too-small crappy old sports jacket thing before the thought to do so ever entered a hispter’s mind.
Either I singlehandedly brought those old school Adidas jackets back into fashion, or I was totally ahead of the curve and didn’t even know it. Being a white person and thus overly sure of the social significance of my dress habits I choose option A. Natch.
Oh and this line: “An old white person might combine this sweater with a button down shirt to provide himself or herself with valuable warmth in the winter months, ” for some reason is hilarious
ahhhh!!! Make them go away!!!!
In general, I buy my clothes at a thrift store in the “bad” part of town, so there is little competition from White People.

Who doesn’t like sweaters? I mean a hoodie is still a sweater.
I’m not sure how well some of this stuff applies here in Canada. It’s damn cold here (windy too) and I dress in layers/sweaters/scarves because it’s stupid not too.
Something white people like is visiting British Columbia, we’re famous for weed, forests, mountains, nature and it’s totally pretentious. Also, there’s real estate near water.
Hello this post is delightful.
I like your Alpaca Scarf, Hat, Knitted Coat..
Thanks
DUH. It’s called layering. A great way to stay warm without wearing cumbersome clothing. Homeless people do it all the time.

I could never figure out this “race” thing. Human race??? We just never divided it up into race when I grew up, only by country or so. But now I know. I am obviously white. I LOVE sweaters. Always carry one. Could of course be because I grew up where the weather changes often, also during the day, and I get cold very easily, so it was simply a must to carry a sweater. But I think it has more to do with the colour of my skin. Must be…
if you want to destroy my sweater….
pull this thread as i walk awayyyyyyyyyyyyyy
sweaters rock.
but how would i know? i’m white.
I LOVE Sweaters. I wore a green one today.
The sad thing is that I like a lot of there things, the hummus, bangs, all those specifics( even the deal on books, I remember recently buying some cheap books and being overly excited)about 75% on here etc, and I”m black. I never realized it, until I read these things on here. There’s got to be something wrong. Perhaps many of these things are sorta common in America…what do you think… or I could just have issues.
Okay, so, I had no idea i was THIS white lol. I have like twenty cardigans in my closet. From black to purple. From a little too small to wildly over-sized. It’s really an addiction. Every time I go shopping, the cardi’s are like a tractor beam.This is a battle I can not fight on my own
Listen to Admit It! by Say Anything. It’s an AWESOME song by and AWESOME band that describes these hipsters in witty,intelligent, catchy detail. They are, “vacuous soldiers of the thrift store gestapo!”
…or it could have something to do with your sense of humor.
i love that song
Oh, God help me… I was just having the conversation last weekend about how ALL my favorite sweaters are from thrift stores. I think I need to re-invent myself….
I’d like to purchase several flat knitting machines to begin making my own homemade fashionable sweaters, please.
Hahaha. It’s so funny seeing all you crackers congregate on this website and say “omg. i am SO white.”
lol.
This is great. Keep the comments coming!
would you be willing to manufacture sweaters with genital-shaped bobbles on them?
and i’m pleased you are fully compliance and evaluated by Intertek – that’s definitely something i value in a sweater-manufacturer.
so you’re in bangladesh, right? sweet, so that means this should only cost me like ten bucks, right? and can i use my grandmother’s mastercard to pay for this? cuz i’m totally broke right now. there aren’t shit for jobs around here.
hey… actually… are you guys hiring? not in the factory, of course. i mean like administrative work. i can fax you my resume asap. do you guys offer benefits? health? 401k? how about some free sweaters?
Ha I love Say Anything! Max is a genius.
You know what I love? I love the hispanics who try to be black by spending all their money on rims and stupid fucking Jesus-pieces. Another thing I love is black people trying to be white. Stick with me on this one because I know it sounds crazy…Anyone else bothered by the fact that Kanye West came out and started wearing Polo shirts and khakis? He’s paving the way for black people with money to start dressing like the white people they act like they despise so much…because “George Bush doesn’t care about black people”, right? Can I get an Amen my fellow “crackers”? So FUCK YOU SuperMex
The only place in the denver metro area to thrift shop is Aurora. The rest of them have been picked through by those damn hipsters and the rons of course..
The operative word is “hear.”

they also love their northface fleece!
Sooo guilty! Goodwill purchase this winter: JCrew Vneck cable sweater in Citron. $4.99 and that day it was the 50% off color tag. Whopping $2.50. It was like hitting the jackpot! Sad. So sad.
You so win. The last two sweaters I got were brand new, from Macy’s. (To get technical, one was a houndstooth sweater-vest I bought, the other an argyle v-neck I received for Christmas.)
Though, to be fair, there is a severe dearth of quality thrift-stores in my area. (Hard to believe, considering I live in Massachusetts, one of the biggest white-people areas there is!)
I do think it’s rather unfortunate that this post didn’t mention argyle at all.
Last month, I got a sweater on clearance at the Gap for $2.97… and I still brag about it.
Dammit, I’m white.
Funny to read
So, I think this site in general is very clever and funny, but does anyone else think that making fun of clothing is a little bit too easy, and maybe has too much in common with a “what not to wear” episode? I mean, what could I actually wear as a white person (or as any person) and NOT be made fun of? Too common, too uncommon, made in China, made sustainably locally, copying someone else’s culture, too bourgeios, trying to be elitist, trying to NOT be elitist, too trendy, trying too hard to NOT be trendy, trying too hard to look “unmade”. Maybe I’m taking this too seriously, but could someone suggest something I could wear as a white person that wouldn’t enable someone to go, “OMG look at that, she’s SO white!”?
are you an educated middle class black? I think a lot of these things cross economic lines more than racial lines. Just like test scores do, in general. although what do I know? I’m just a white girl with a useless graduate degree…
so, where do you get YOUR clothing? Is it somewhere I could go and you wouldn’t make fun of me?
no really you can’t get an AMEN. I thought this site was supposed to be funny. Are you trying to be funny? Because you are coming across as kinda bitter or angry or something. but really not funny
Some good posts here about sweaters. I like crew neck sweaters and turtlenecks. For some good wool sweaters to keep you warm visit Sweater Shoppe online. Thay also have a thrift shop store for bargain priced sweaters and other thrift shop store type finds.

How about a very dark spray on tan!
:} But then again You just did. Although I must say I prefer a nice argyle on my socks.
lol so true!
FEWER BUTTONS!!
I talk about my thrift store finds all the time. I wear something regularly that I found on a porch.
I laughed as I read this because I still tell the tale of my rummage sale find. A .50 cent teal cable knit cardigan, affectionately termed the grandma sweater by my friends, does indeed by these standards make me “white.” But really, who could pass up a .50 cent sweater?
cardigans are soo ugly.
Yes, definitely taking it to seriously. If there is any lesson to take from this site (which there probably isn’t) it is that we shouldn’t need seek approval / congratulations for every mundane choice that we make.
I can’t stop looking at the Macrina bag.
i plead not guilty!
I WANT A MILLION DOLLARS!!! Can one million RICH WHITE PEOPLE send me one dollar apiece, puh-lease????
I don’t want money from any Asians, or Blacks or Hispanics. You guys NEED your money. I only want one dollar apiece from RICH WHITE PEOPLE, who only WASTE their money on things like essential sweaters.
Waste it on me instead. Thanks so much! (First person who comments “You ARE a waste.” is a rotten egg. You thought it. I know you did. Stop lying. See? I knew it.)

repost of this as well as witty escapade stories and general freshness
Sweaters are useless most of the year in the Palm Springs area, where lighter clothing is a requirement to stay cool & ventilated in the triple digit fahrenheit heat. Americans are seen “not with it” for using the imperial units, not metric units system. Our weakness like kryptonite is to superman. +
The Cardigans are also a rock band (off-topic randomness) from either Ireland, Sweden or the “white” Neopagan god knows where. Oh, don’t tell TBN Christian channel about the pagans are running the Weather Channel. They have office meetings like rituals praising Thor, the Norse god of thunder and weather. +
Palm Canyon drive is vacated, El Paseo is expensive and all the indoor malls are empty, let alone our two outdoor malls: the former cesspool now the River at Rancho Mirage and the Gardens (ex-garbage dump site) in Palm Desert. All the cheap but trendy white shoppers are secretly going to “old town Indio”, a failed gentrification project but at least the shops are full. +
Minnesota winters: “It’s 20 below, but I’m going to walk 2 miles to the ice cream malt shop, hot fudge warns you up”.
California winters: “It’s 30 above, FROST WARNING. Put on a sweater and socks on your feet in bed tonight. ICE AGE ’09.”
New York winters: “A foot of snow, big deal…but for the yuppies, they already flew down to Florida in November”.
Winter record high in Fort Yukon, Alaska: 7 above F.
Winter record high in Hell, Cal. a mile east of Indio: 65 F. +
It’s the recession: sweaters are in, casual nudity optional out and heaters are turned off (save the earth, cut the gas, carbon footprint). The gas goes to their long, stressful & traffic-clogged freeway commutes. What about working at home, video-conferencing or “being your own boss”? These are the things white people like. +
Thrift store owners would love to read this? Pawn shops are next. Since when mini-marts come back in style? They bring down home values in neighborhoods. Makes homes more affordable for whities, there goes the neighborhood. +
Kathie Lee Gifford is so elite: She cried on live TV back in 1995 (?) after she “discovered” by a guest about sweat shop child labor made her trademark design clothing brand. OMG! People from back east called the west coast about it, and pppsss, quick, where is Honduras? or was it Salvador? +
(claps), thank you and may I ask is Scarlett aka double-personality disorder white racist still coming by the site? Nevermind, don’t forget to ban brainbooger, beg-a-thon and livedotorg while you’re at it. +
The rednecks are from a HOT climate, the humidity must raise the heat index to 120f on a 85f day. The Cal. desert is no better, but hey “it’s a dry heat”. I seen a few brave souls play a golf game in the Palm Springs country clubs last month at 115f, 50% humidity and strong sun peaking through clouds. Hot I tell ya, it drives me MAD. +
Central Mexico is 40 degrees cooler than the Cal. desert, the average summer temp. in Mexico City: 75F/20C at an elevation of 7,300 feet/2,100 meters. A mild climate alike L.A. or Miami, though it has serious smog and thin air for travelers landing in the airport to feel the altitude. +
Bill Cosby is a commercial pitch salesman for Jell-O pudding, Kodak cameras, the “new coke”, Hershey’s kisses, and oh those swell sweaters to make Bing Crosby look like he had bad taste. +
Don’t worry, white people have had it up to here (above the screen) with the GOP. The Clintons have a home in the darkest part of Harlem (true), but the Bushes can’t have a home year-round in either Maine or Texas. Since who wants a man to bring shame to fellow Texans: the Dixie Chicks? +
I eat cheese-burgers (check) but not 3 times every day, likes an occasional Coors beer (I had Heineken before), don’t drive a car (takes the bus), and to read about things doesn’t have to be boring (read playboy for the “articles” or something). +
When can we get white men to wear a hat, jacket and suit again? In fact, everyone did before 1965 or from what my Mom born/raised in So.Cal. USofAmerica explained how it happened and her two boys born after 1980 wouldn’t have to. I thought a man can “speak for it” but she’s American. +
Was the lone suspect out of place in his new community? This is worse than the Korean student in Virginia Tech. The news media came to notice “Asians are going crazy now”. I knew someone on the internet from north of Philadelphia of Japanese descent (born/raised in NYC) and worries about her state of choice ranks 1st place in hate crimes, racist gangs or other activity. I thought PA was liberal, maybe in the Philadelphia area, but the city of Hazleton became an off-limits community for illegal immigrants when so many Latinos moved, because whites move to newly constructed homes and the local whites suffering from unemployment thought “they took our JABS”.+
Ritalin helps, chicken and stars soup, the V-chip protects them and a night-light. White parents can get away with psychological abuse, and they love to adopt non-white kids, whether from Zambia or Cambodia, and Watts or Harlem. +
I just looked at armendotcom and can only “tolerate” you for your racially different views: at first I was like this 0_o then I LOL’D! xD You need to check out #11: Asian girls, white people (esp. men) love to be near them. Over 15,000 replies so far, the right combo of topics like race and sex. +
Everyone can be a racist, white or black or brown, it don’t matter what color are you, as long you think people of your own color are “superior” than the other. Canada has its own ethnic issues, such as the Quebec separatism has a small fringe branch harrassing black people, immigrants and Jews in Montreal for quite some time. Anti-semitism in rural Quebec comes in forms of boogey-man like tales of gentile children go near synagouges and get snatched by rabbis. The ideology of anti-Semitism is universal: blacks, whites, Christians, Muslims, Asians, Latinos, in Quebec, in Russia, in France and in America (esp. on South Park, for example). +
Homeless people are numerous in the Palm Springs area, over 10,000 in the winter time when it’s nice and warm. Who wants to live in a multi-millionaire housing district to be swarmed by homeless men/women camping out on the bus stop bench or under a tree? I don’t get it. Some drifters love the idea of being in a city police/sheriff jail cell for a day or night: a bed, a meal, a shower…and a phone call, for free!+
I love that every image and video of you shows you in a cardigan! Amazing! I write for http://StuffRichPeopleLove.com and wrote about ‘Draping Sweaters Over The Shoulder’ which is how rich people distinguish themselves from white people!
i like to drink cat urine!
Hello everybody, I am the asshole using enigmas name to type ignorant nonsense. I know I am a dumbass, but I can’t help myself. If you happen to see enigmas name talking garbage, just disregard it. I am a dumbass, needle dick bitch with no life using other peoples name in vain. I apologize to all.

Bill Cosby…
I like to drink cat urine too!!
But my real weakness is a big, sweaty, hairy cock in my mouth to suck on at night. I put little sweaters on them to make me feel like I’m interacting with a big friend.
Too bad he spits on me every time. He’s so mean. Every time I kiss him, this white stuff blasts me in my eyes.
YOINK!!
You know the picture at the top? My neighbor has a black cardigan a lot like that!! But it looks really good on her. Haha
this entry is dumb a sweater is a pretty basic article of clothing. It’s like saying, those white, oh they love pants, or the color blue. I mean what are you supposed to wear when you’re cold?
A jacket dumbshit. Or possibly a sweatshirt. I find all of these entries funny because they are all for the most part true. Especially this one. I’m pretty fuckin’ white in all aspects of the word. But I can laugh at myself. Quit trolling Douche.
Check out #118 “holiday sweater parties” for more handy uses of showing off your latest high-priced sweater to your so-called “friends” in the office/workplace. I always thought sweaters are meant to keep people warm from the winter cold, not to cost an arm & a leg to make yourself the center of attention. White people seem to hate the cold, do they head down to the Florida coasts or the Arizona desert for the holidays?
I tend to stay in Ohio.
I do love sweaters and cardigans! I do not however enjoy wearing t shirts with them. A button up or undershirt should suffice.
lol, this entry had me crying. I saw an old lady wearing a sweater with a raindeer on it last sunday and told my friend with me about this website, good laughs.
I’ve always hated sweaters with a passion, never understood the appeal. And have no clue why a person would wear one over a collared shirt, as seemed popular in the 1950’s.
Love it!
I’d also suggest taking a look at http://www.SomethingYouShouldRead.com
A simple red cardigan and a colorful tee-shirt are also really nice. I found a nice and cheap one on http://www.lexuomo.cn.
to Wednesday: You can also wear hoodies, sweat-shirt, jackets… when it’s cold : D
Earlier today I was shopping around for the perfect cardigan to wear over a vintage-inspired graphic tee with my skinny jeans and the red patent pumps I just purchased…
This site cracks me up.
I found a fabulous wool Gap sweater in December at the Goodwill for $1.61. I did some Gap cheers right in the store.
I love your site. I’m such a big time white guy. I love pot, being a playboy with Sexy (not ugly) Asian Girls, travelling, hip hop, making people feel bad for not going outdoors, and basically everything you mentioned here. I also work for a wine distribution company (of all things!) called DT Asia in Beijing, China.
Also I’m French (don’t all white people LOVE the french and wish they could speak it?) and grew up as a multi-lingual child. I greatly enjoy being all International man of mystery, too.

Bill Cosby is probably the number one person in the world associated with sweaters and he’s definitely not white.
I think this one is good, but as someone pointed out, sweaters are actually more linked to Bill Cosby than they are anyone else (and he’s black). Obviously that doesn’t really mean anything, but the point is that sweaters are hardly just a white-person thing.
I think if the article was about “sweater-themed parties,” then there would be a bit more of a white-distinction to it. Whities do love their sweater parties…
Here’s another laugh: http://www.SomethingYouShouldRead.com
You’re right in saying that sweaters are hardly a white-person thing. However, I might argue that sweaters are without a doubt more closely linked to Mr. Rogers — a white person.
That sweater ( Cable sweater) looks pretty fly. And I’m black!
I would wear it with some olive green army pants or some camo army pants (BDU’s), and some black shoes.
I really think that the sweater crosses racial boundaries. Why else would Jefe give El Guapo one for his birthday??
What an ugly white sweater.

Hilarious post!
Can’t agree more. White people invented cardigans, and love to wear them. I’ve noticed black people wear them too, but that’s cultural blending. White people wore them in like the 20s.
Just like you see whites dressing black, you see blacks dressing white.
Cardigans are also a recent hip-hop trend, started by rappers who dress like white people.. Because the white fan-base of hip-hop has grown. And hip-hop has become SO mainstream.
Cultural blending..
The reason these sweaters are ultra thick is because they’re cabled, which means the stitches “Kriss Kross” each other. Hand-made crafts are way more expensive than store-bought, so I doubt you’d easely come by this bad azz sweater unless the owner didn’t appreciate the months, cost, and care put into it by the person who made it for them. This has got to put some kind of bad karma or frown from God on ungrateful sweaters-takers and you don’t want to be an accessory to their shame.
I hate cardi’s! These are another one of those items that Old Navy pimps out. That happy gay-looking black guy is right on cue in his cardigan (although he’s now a mannequin with his white mannequin friends). Did you write about mannequins yet?
I promise I have that sweater. Bought it for $9.99 from “Black Market”, a basement vintage/thrift store in Toronto.
sorry; w/r/t cardigans: should be “fewer buttons,” not “less buttons.”
w.p.l. grammar,

LOL I saw this blog on http://www.DanielDickey.com (The MTV VJ) and must admit it’s just as funny!!!
I found this blog by searching for “blogs about stuff I like”. I guess Google knows I’m white.
White people, well all people, also enjoy http://www.NakedHipster.com. Mainly because the girls are hot and don’t have clothes on. Usually those two things go well together. You know, the hotness and the nakedness.
