In most of the world when a person works long hours without pay, it is referred to as “slavery” or “forced labor.” For white people this process is referred to as an internship and is considered an essential stage in white development.
The concept of working for little or no money underneath a superior has been around for centuries in the form of apprenticeship programs. Young people eager to learn a trade would spend time working under a master craftsman to learn a skill that would eventually lead to an increase in material wealth.
Using this logic you would assume that the most sought after internships would be in areas that lead to the greatest financial reward. Young White people, however, prefer internships that put them on the path for careers that will generally result in a DECREASE of the material wealth accumulated by their parents.
For example, if you were to present a white 19 year old with the choice of spending the summer earning $15 an hour as a plumber’s apprentice or making $0 answering phones at Production Company, they will always choose the latter. In fact, the only way to get the white person to choose the plumbing option would be to convince them that it was leading towards an end-of-summer pipe art installation.
White people view the internship as their foot into the door to such high-profile low-paying career fields as journalism, film, politics, art, non-profits, and anything associated with a museum. Any white person who takes an internship outside of these industries is either the wrong type of white person or a law student. There are no exceptions.
If all goes according to plan, an internship will end with an offer of a job that pays $24,000 per year and will consist entirely of the same tasks they were recently doing for free. In fact, the transition to full time status results in the addition of only one new responsibility: feeling superior to the new interns.
When all is said and done, the internship process serves the white community in many ways. First, it helps to train the next generation of freelance writers, museum curators, and director’s assistants. But more importantly, internships teach white children how to complain about being poor.
So when a white person tells you about their unpaid internship at the New Yorker, it’s not a good idea to point out how the cost of rent and food will essentially mean that they are PAYING their employer for the right to make photocopies. Instead it’s best to say: “you earned it.” They will not get the joke.
Stuff White People Like 
u mean #105
Dead on.
Oh yes, and part of the process is the initiation- the allocation of work so meaningless that if there is no intern the work is not performed.
LOL 3RD POAST
valentin was offered a job at lululemon, and instead insisted on being an unpaid intern. because, he told me, “i really love their pants…”
Another thing that White People Like is accuracy about minutiae.
I would forward this to my boss if it wouldn’t get me fired.
Here’s one that I believe is unique:
1) Charcoal grey fleece pullovers from The North Face.
2) Sperry shoes.
You can add those to your next volume. Holla.
this is pure truth.
Completely and utterly correct. Though it seems these unpaid internships are nearly the only type available these days. As a college student myself I find I have to work minimum wage job completely inapplicable to my choice of profession so that I spend the summer working for someone who is not willing to pay me for my services.
“In fact, the only way to get the white person to choose the plumbing option would be to convince them that it was leading towards an end-of-summer pipe art installation.”
Come now, that’s not quite true… they might take the plumbing job if it was leading towards an end-of-summer opportunity to install plumbing in a poor village in a third world country.
yeah. 105
exactly! …like in some remote village inAfrica. Then, they would set up a blog, complete with pictures, about the hardships they endured while helping to install said pipes!
someday I will have an unpaid internship at the new yorker or macintosh
i love my (current) unpaid internship, though I do refer to it as slave labor. quite frequently. this is so true.
sixteenth!!! whoo!!
Speakin’ the truth. My internship is so meaningless that when I don’t show up nobody notices, or cares, for that matter.
So. True.
I’ve heard of some acting “internships” where people actually paid money to the org. for letting them work there. Ridiculous.
Can I still feel special if I got school credit for my internship? Or does that somewhat count as being paid?
Worst. Post. Ever.
I got school credit when i did my internship at 19. I dont consider it payment, i think paying 35k a year to attend a university and then getting 3 whole credits for free from an internship that i would much rather have been paid for to help pay for the 35k a year university, would have been better. internships are just a fancy white word meaning “whore with/without sexual favors”.
I would do the same. He even had the audacity to ask me to come back for another unpaid summer.
I got paid to intern at a publishing company.
Min wage. In California.
Hmmmm
Hah, this post could also be the next White Problems/White People in the News. See here: http://www.bond.org.uk/jobs/internships.htm
“Today’s young graduates are often stuck in a classic Catch 22 situation: they need experience to get a job (since most international NGOs will not hire graduates without work experience), but they have no way of getting it without volunteering to work for free. It is not uncommon to find multilingual PhD graduates competing against each other for an unpaid NGO position.”
brilliant!
I have a question about the photo that accompanies this article. Which one is the intern, the man or the woman? I tend to think the man is the intern, because the woman is in what I’d refer to as the “Power Position”, that is, she is in between the wall and the desk, as opposed to being in between the desk and the door. At least it looks like a wall, but I suppose it could be a window with a really poor view, but that would make the man the boss, and if he were the boss it doesn’t make any sense that he’d have a window with such a poor view, because after all he’s white.
Anyone?
I AM SO WHITE
some of the whitest people on the planet live here in Germany, and it is standard for them to work for almost nothing for three years (this is called an Ausbuildung) before getting paid like a regular adult human being, even to scan groceries at the supermarket. America will never lose its White Anglo Saxon Protestant roots.
Sign me up for the $15 an hour as a plumbers assistant, that’s a good job in this economy. I’ve done my share of free work, mostly on film sets, so this does apply to me as well. But I would never do it full time, that’s simply insane, I always had a real job paying the bills. I guess if you have parents that’ll pay your bills for you, while you do this free work, go for it. Otherwise, screw that.

Dem white folks is sho’ nuff crazy.
Or if they could wear outdoor clothing whilst plumbing the homes of the less fortunate in Portland.
This doesn’t really only apply to white people, but college kids in general.
Unpaid internships should be illegal in many cases, I mean they could at least give them minimum wage or housing. Love how my ex-boyfriend did an engineering internship (wrong kind of white person??) and earned like 12 grand for the summer. Wish he’d buy me presents now.
Have you forgotten volunteering as another form of essential slavery?
God damned, I am a white class hero !
This is too funny! Are we truly that predictable?
#104 again?
is an intern doing the numbering?
Debbie Downer.
Finally the relentless self-promotion ends and we get real topics again. Thank you.
I’m so white I left the arts to work for a charity.
The charity pays better.
But I did get my first job in the arts based on my voluntary work while I was studying. (I’m not from the U.S, and internships are not part of our culture. Yet.)
You’re so white, you can’t admit that if you could have money pouring in, you’d reject it for the sake of writing more blog posts.
If I was younger I would volunteer for the obama campaign so that in 50 years they could interview me on a local cable station and I could have a tear in my eye when I talk about the historic event I was part of!! never mind obama is the pied piper, I would be doing my civic duty as a “white person” supporting this guy! I would promise never to question his integrity or qualifactions but, would be very quick to go into great detail quoting stats about the reubuplicnas and how bad they are (previous story about whites and stats)!!!
This is an asshole thing to post since the intern can’t force the company/organization to pay them (at least in North America) and if you dropped a ton of cash to go to a decent college and are seriously pursuing your field of study, why would you chuck it for something completely unrelated just because it pays? The payoff from the internship comes later, dick. You have some relevant field experience so that you can inch your way to the entry level.
Unlike the other Stuff White People Like, the unpaid internship isn’t something white peeps are smug about, unless it’s uber elite and there’s cause to brag, which you have to admit is more than fair because we’re all secretly mad jellus. Hell, if I snagged an internship at the New Yorker, it would be on my Facebook status all day, every day. “Sajidah is STILL INTERNING AT THE NEW YORKER, BITCHES!!!11”
Yep. If a non-white person had some kind of unpaid training job, it would be called ‘exploitation’, not an internship, and White People would protest.
Anything’s better than getting your hands dirty doing a low-class blue collar job. Eeuww!
I’m so white that i forget to pay someone for projects, thanks for remind me
🙂
Sajidah has forgotten her/his sense of humor.
Neither funny nor witty.
And it’s numbered wrong.
The quality of this blog has gone south pretty quickly.
Did the owner decide to throw something out just for the fuck?
Fuck this.
Yeah, white stay-at-home-moms-trying-to-transition-back-to-the workforce like to do this too. And when people give them sympathetic looks, they explain, “They’re giving me a box of swag, though. Soon.”
The swag never materializes.
Nah, I just thought it was kind of a dick move to “send up” unpaid interns who get spit on every day anyway. And I didn’t even smirk, which is the worst offense of all.
About the only way you could get me to work for free is by keeping a gun on me. And you better watch your back.
Considering that the kind of people who get unpaid internships are the kind who pay just as much money as other students for degrees that, in the real world, earn half as much or less than anything in the sciences, I suspect that mommy and daddy are paying their bills. Perpetual adolescence. Personally, I hated being a kid and couldn’t wait to get out and make my own way.
For them, putting food on the table, the lights on, etc., is someone else’s job. They’re there to ‘save the world.’ The fact the world neither needs saving nor cares whether they live or die is lost on them. In the end, most of them, especially the J-school grads, are only good for turning food into fertilizer. Usually, anything they do beyond this is to the detriment of everyone around them.
You’re mad jellz that you aren’t interning at Scientific American?
This is not funny at all! What the fuck!?
Hahahaha. Class-based humor! Hahahaha!
White people also like smoked salmon and brie. They would never be caught eating American cheese or catfish. White people also love real Rolexes, not fake Rolexes or Casios. Next time you are with a white person, bring some smoked salmon and talk about how you like Rolex watches.
Hahahahah
Very funny–subtle, but very funny. Keep up the good work.
Yours in whiteness.
I once spent a college break driving 1.5 hours both ways each day for an unpaid internship at an advertising agency. My big learning experience involved tying ribbons on the company’s Christmas cards for two weeks straight. It was probably the best education on corporate life I could have been not paid to receive.
White people also love to say FUCK and WTF when disagreeing in the comments section of a blog.
I pooped my pants.
Sorry, it had to be done.
Seriously, you need to relax. Obviously you have some pent-up issues about the following:
A.) Whether you get the internship of your choice.
B.) Your pissed because your boss at your internship is a jerk and you think you are way smarter than him anyway.
C.) You just have a bad attitude in general.
Internships are important, because they do give you some knowledge, but in my recent college grad, job searching experience, employers seem to prefer actual paid work experience, even if it is in a totally unrelated field. Believe it or not, your 5 years slugging it out as a fitting room attendant at the Gap shows that you actually have, gulp, a work ethic. But that’s not really a White thing, is it?
Anyway, lay off the caffeine and chill out, buddy. You don’t want to be THAT guy who has a heart attack at age 35.
PS I interned at the Phoebe Hearst Museum of Anthropology at UC Berkeley, cataloguing Native American artifacts. And now I work in marketing. At a bank. So who knows what path you end up taking in life?
Read harder. 1) was shown under performance clothes.
You call them less fortunate; I call them the ones who served without pay as an intern for their low or non paying job. Maybe the word lazy comes to mind.
Engineering students are a rare breed. They both enjoy what they do and they have no shame about being paid well. I think it due to the thickening of their skin from enduring years of nerd comments.
If you are working for no pay, you may be working for a pimp. Does he make you wear high heels and short skirts, plus ride with strangers.
No, it means you go to a third rate school.
You’re black, aren’t you?
That doesn’t happen in the field of plumbing. My wife has a PHD and works at a college with a bunch of PHDs and their average salary is $68,000 a year. I have two friends who are plumbers and they make in excess of a hundred grand a year. Plus, it is a lot more fun hanging around the plumbers.
Are you asking me or the moron who spells like a twelve year old girl above?
As to my pigmentation, I burn by candlelight.
It used to be, in the day, that a college degree was entry level. Now we have to many flaky colleges, dumb students, social promotions that you have to work for free to prove yourself. Solve the problem, don’t do it.
You did that for two weeks. That says something about you, like I wouldn’t have done it for two hours with pay. Like drugs, just say NO!
Since when is the use of “fuck” race specific? Not on this planet.
But, you didn’t have to tell us.
Why don’t you try pooping before you put your pants on.
I am always in awe at the accurateness of this blog. One small correction, however. Students in law who receive paid internships are the wrong type of law student and thus white person. White people prefer to pay thousands of dollars at top law schools so that they can study “international public law” “international law of human rights”, “international humanitarian law”, “international refugee law” etc. Thus, when the time for internships comes around, white people who can land unpaid legal internships for the UN, or less prestigious, but “more effective” NGOs feel infinitely superior to law students performing any sort of paid legal work, unless it is an underpaid position for legal aid. Example of law school internship conversation. White person: “So what are you doing for the summer?” Wrong type of white person: “Oh, I’m working for a firm in contract/family/property/business law” White person: “Oh. I would never work for a firm. They are so corporate and expploitative and evil.” Wrong type of white person: “So what are you doing for the summer then?” White person: “I am spending the first half of the summer travelling to Burma, then I will be doing an unpaid internship with Human Rights Watch in New York.”
I guess I fit in the “wrong typ of white person” category. I never knew until today. I feel somehow validated. Or do I mean invaded?
You also forgot to mention that unpaid internships are often a stepping-stone to other unpaid internships, which will then eventually lead to underpaid jobs. Example: One or more unpaid internships with an NGO in Africa is an essential prerequisite to receive an unpaid internship with the UN, which is a prerequisite to an underpaid job in “international governance”.
Jeannine, I have to agree completely with your comment. But you forgot to add “intellectual property” to the list of wrong-type-of-white-person law internships.
One thing the original post mentions is generally true: many white people generally go for lower paying “white collar” jobs rather than very well paying “blue collar” jobs. This is particularly important now since many “white collar” jobs can be off-shored and hence exert downward pressure on wages for remaining jobs here. Blue collar jobs can’t be off-shored and continue to get middle-class wages as the previously white collared workers live on unemployment, home equity, credit card etc., till they go broke.
I currently have a paid internship (which pays very well), and I’m a 19-year-old white male. Am I an anomaly? Or am i just not retarded like the rest of you?
A fact I never miss the opportunity to rub in the faces of conceited fools who think they’re better than me.
Half of them work in industries that could disappear and would have a minimal impact on everyone else.
Does the world really need neo-wiccan-afro-olmec-aromatheraputic-tai-chi instructors?
I’m sorry but I have to go with the obvious joke of white collared jobs worry about off-shored but you have to worry about the importation of blue collared workers. Lol
Whether your internship is paid or unpaid is generally a result of what field you’re going into. As an engineer, I’ve never heard of an internship that paid less than $13 an hour. Mine paid $17.50.
Arts/Humanities majors, however, are not so lucky.
You are definately just not retarded.
Unfortunately for me, these unpaid internship are required for employment consideration. Not having an internship on my resume means it gets laughed at as it falls into the circular file.
I actively procrastinated subjecting myself to this oppressive practice until this summer, because working for free is idiotic. I’m now interning at a place where I actually would want to work…if I was getting paid for it.
You are an anomaly. What field are you in?
am i the only one who noticed that this is the second number 104?
the first was “girls with bangs”
don’t believe me? check it
Hahahahahaha – oh my god – i work at a production company with 5 interns all unpaid and guess what they are. I almost peed my pants when i read this.
I’ve been out of college for some time, and I thought for some reason that unpaid internships were less common now. Sad to hear that they’re still putting students through this.
When I was in school, I was forced by the department to spend 10 hours a week doing unpaid labor for an arts institution. The college, however, did very little to find me an actual paying job as graduation grew nearer.
I am an oppressed white person.
It’s good practice for when white people get old. They can become unpaid volunteers and build houses, serve food, and perform other services for poor, non-white people.
HAHAH Suckers. Go learn a real skill like engineering. I got 12.50$ for my internship then started fulltime at 50k. You know why those fields are unpaid?? Because anyone can do them, and no one pays for something that can be done for free.
Yeah but then you get outsourced or laid off. Engineering is a poor white person’s job. Your income is capped and you’re considered obsolete and old at over 30.
Signed,
White female engineer age 51 married to white male engineer age 50 whose kids are majoring in useless white people subjects
Yeah but they become the CEO or CIO.
Christ, I fit this description perfectly. I really am a sucker.
Now I must go and weep into my J. Crew cardigans.
I was an English major so I could spend the rest of my life smugly correcting engineering majors who think they’re superior.
“Prostitutes” turn tricks, dollar signs go before the numbers and the ability to catch silly errors like these is a “real skill” that keeps many large companies (and engineering firms) from looking really foolish.
Agreed.
It’s about time we got something new
Nah, those are the sales/business majors with all the sweet family connections and social networking skills.
No. Brown College kids work for JP Morgan for 10K and housing + wall-street futures
yesssssss
jeannine, you could write this blog.
o hai ur only 2 more then 1ts!
White people hate to get payed for work.
That’s EXACTLY what I’m thinking. I just think it’s cheap to take a potshot at unpaid interns who are at the bottom of the barrell anyway workwise. Especially during internship season.
so explains the americorps experience
After #104 Girls with Bangs, book shop tours and press promotions, finally..clander attains redemption with this one. Way to go!
What about medical internships? White people love being doctors, ’cause then you get to tell all your friends about going to Sierra Leone to help all the poor war-ridden, meth junkie orphans.
And you then get to make gonzo money and drive a prius, the three blocks from your downtown New York condo to Mt. Sinai, where you will get 300 dollars an hour to work with rich old jewish people.
Everybody wins!
Yeah, but you’d do it for free. English majors can’t help themselves. Hell, is anyone paying you to correct other people’s comments?
A smug sense of superiority doesn’t pay the bills.
You’re wrong Jeannine. Those who get paid internships ARE the right type of white poeple because they’re smart enough to help themselves. The wrong type are the suckers who work for free (or do most of the other things listed in the blog). This whole blog makes pokes fun at those types who think they are the right type of people but in reality are just idiots, followers and liberals. It’s the right type of white people who are laughing at those idiots as described in this blog.
Yeah, saw it- there’s constant examples of this everywhere- was at a hospital the other night, patients working on their ‘issues’ – they have this workbook they are supposed to write in- errors on EVERYTHING- the food menus, the workbooks, signs put up on the units, but scarily , probably the people who made those errors are getting paid… Maybe SWPL guy hired an intern, hence the various small design changes on this page over the the past few months? Monica Lewinsky was an intern, was she not?
It’s true: internships are a form of slavery that white people appreciate. I worked as an intern for a year when I was younger, without any kind of payment… and didn’t get the job. But people (and especially companies) tend to glorify the value of internships. That’s one of the reasons I hate “The Pursuit of Happyness”. In that film, Will Smith loves the company that treats him like a slave, but has issues with a hippie down the street and the poor woman who takes care of his son.

No porn, and no internships either.
All valid points my good man, I would however point out the difference between a river cat which no white would eat, unless of course you’re some sort of redneck filth, and the ocean run cat, which a drunken white person may eat.
Another helpful hint, if want to impress a higher up white person, like me, you should inquire about our hemorrhoids. Makes great small talk and we all have them!

You know P. Diddy got his start in the music business as an intern…More like a college student thing.
More bang for the buck? What buck? As far as I know, this is viewed for FREE. So, perhaps instead of complaining about it, you should just STOP READING. I’m pretty sure you’re witty, thought provoking comments will not be missed.
So why aren’t the Russians impressed with Obama, are they asiatic?
Internships are really a kind of finishing school:
Anyway I agree with the intern thing, actually since in college most men behave like slacker slobs they need to see an actual workplace or they might totally screw up their first job. Needless to say the few that are not slacker slobs end up interning too, sucks for them.
Internships reduce aquisition expense;
Employee acquisition and training is expensive, wouldn’t it be better if somone else paid for it, like the employee’s parents. It would also be nice if the target employee worked for a year somewhere else just to see if they are office compatible. Since no one would pay money for that, you have internships which parents typically also pay for.
Internships perpetuate class differences:
Since most emloyers are established wealthy types, requireing an internship means prospective employees must be from a wealthy backround.
“The payoff from the internship comes later, dick. You have some relevant field experience so that you can inch your way to the entry level. ”
Its called ENTRY LEVEL for a reason. You shouldn’t have to inch your way to it.
Not true, hookers usually earn a cut of the profits.
Not that I know from personal experience. I watch Dateline.
Intern? I thought he was a gangster? And you people buy this clowns shit?
I was telling my roommate earlier today that I couldn’t wait to get back to school so I could FINALLY start making some money…she sent me this after I got home from an overcrowded Metro ride from my internship at The Washington Post.
I must’ve spent the last 5 minutes laughing.
Best. Entry. Ever. And so true!
Thanks, Dr. Phill.
don’t stop there
1st
That must have been a long ride.
Don’t know how “gangster” he actually was/is but he grew up in the Bronx; definitely not upper class or rich. He got the internship at a record company through Howard University, a primarily black college. Apparently internships aren’t just for white folks.
I’m in the midst of one of these… I’m so hopelessly white
That’s a good one!
hahahah my internship starts on Monday!
I’m working as an unpaid LEGAL INTERN at a not-for-profit law society in VANCOUVER. See! There are some exceptions….hahaha
what about organic farm apprenticeships? are they included? i know white people like organic food. you’re working side-by-side with non-english-speaking brown people who are making wages as low as yours, if not more.
I am in school for nutritional science and we are required to do an unpaid internship. In fact, I have to actually PAY a fee / tuition in order to do the internship. That means I get to complain even more about being white and poor.
Good post Christian. And I take back what I said about you being gay; word on the street is that you are a “closet” Proper White Person.
Here we go with the female “not all x are y, you can’t make generalizations” crap. She genuinely thinks she burned your entire post, wholly oblivious to the concept of probability.
We *so* made a mistake giving them shoes and letting them out of the kitchen…
(watch for her to pretend she’s a guy in her retort, it’s a mortal lock)
White people invented the word fuck. Black comedians such as Chris Rock always say fuck and fucking when they are playing a white person. It is, in fact, race specific, although I must commend the Italian Americans such as Joe Pesci for perfecting its usage.
“Hell, if I snagged an internship at the New Yorker, it would be on my Facebook status all day, every day. “Sajidah is STILL INTERNING AT THE NEW YORKER, BITCHES!!!11″”
That’s because you lack the self control, civility, and ties to your community that the white man possesses.
But it’s true! You do!
The dirty whore is an affirmative action hire. Actually, wait: does AA apply to broads in America? It does in Canada, and Obama is on record as wanting to implement it.
Ever wonder why Canada can’t sustain a high tech economy, and why Nortel and Cognos and the rest either fail or get bought out? Two words: women managers.
Gotta love “accurateness.” What are you, ESL? Love those U.S. Americans. (White people love correcting grammar and usage.)
Yeah, because life is ALL about money.
Silly liberal white people, doing things they love and, in some internships, helping people instead of going straight for the dough.
I mean, what kind of idiot would go into journalism, film, politics, art, or worse of all, NON-PROFITS? The pay is TERRIBLE!
You conservatives got it all figured out. Long live the hedge fund managers.
I worked in a factory for a year before I went back to grad school in area studies (see #81) and the first time I mentioned to my fellow new grad students where I had worked in my “time off” from school someone actually gasped, like I should be ashamed or something, like it didn’t have ambition. I felt like everyone else got respect for their past work experience, including people who had been unabashedly capitalistic (usually reviled in area studies), people who had worked at underpaying “cool” jobs like at indie record stores, and people who had done foreign mission trips. I really felt like I had to explain away my past; I can’t imagine how someone who had really grown up blue collar (which I didn’t) would have felt. It really showed me how biased supposedly liberal academia was against people who work with their hands, i.e. the wrong kind of white people.
I mean, making fun of people for their tastes is one thing, but mocking people who choose to give up higher paying jobs in order to do something they love, or in order to help other people, is just kind of hateful.
I guess for a lot of “White People”, money isn’t their #1 priority in life. Let’s make fun of them.
Ah, yes. The unpaid internship. The summer before my senior year in college I had an internship (unpaid, of course) at KXTV — the ABC affiliate in Sacramento. I thought it was soooo cool. I worked in the promotions and marketing departments. After college, I was hired as a copy editor for a suburban daily newspaper here in the Seattle area for $10 per hour! “You can make more than that delivering pizzas,” my dad said. I did go on to be a section editor, which included a pay raise. Now I work in the corporate world and my employer actually pays interns. Imagine that!
J-School grads who want to do something respectable with their lives (and realize that a degree in journalism with NO resume experience will have them working at Starbucks for all of eternity trying to get their “break” as a writer) are the ones that do the unpaid internships. It’s more practical than not doing it.
And honestly, unpaid internships, as much as they suck, are in investment. Grad school costs a hell of a lot more and often times is a lot less practical, especially in journalism. I’ve never gotten pad for an internship, but I would take one of my former bosses’ jobs ANY day than working 90 hours a week at an investment bank where I’m earning 100k and hating my life.
And what about teaching? Student teaching internships cost thousands of dollars in grad credits, may I remind you, but are QUITE necessary, for a job that pays shit. I don’t want to send my kid into someone’s classroom who has never dealt with students before.
He grew up in Mount Vernon–in Westchester County. Pretty middle-class place.
I couldn’t wait to make my own way either–so I got a minimum-wage job to pay the bills during my unpaid internship. Mommy and Daddy felt that paying my own way was character building.
(See–Advanced White Person. Manages to be superior and poor at the same time.)
My field wouldn’t give a shit if I worked at the Gap for 10 years. Without at least one good internship (preferably, like 4) you might as well not even apply for an entry level job. I’ve been working blue collar money-making jobs part time since I was 15 (I’m 22), and not one of them appears on my professional resume.
I have an unpaid internship at an aquarium that teaches me about marine biology because I plan to become a marine biologist(after I graduate college).
I am also white.
I had to PAY for the credits I got for my internship!
I’d put up with unpaid internships any day than graduate college with “waiting tables” as my only work experience.
I’ll talk to you suckers later when I have a sweet job.
Though, I must say, I am getting reeeeeeally tired of working for free.
Bullshit. There are a few remaining halfway decent places in Mt. Vernon, the last vestiges of old Italian neighborhoods like Fleetwood, but most of it is as bad or worse than anywhere in the Bronx. Add to that the fact that the MVPD isn’t fit to shine the boots of the NYPD.
Just because it’s in Westchester on a map doesn’t mean it’s ‘Westchester,’ at least in the Scarsdale/picket fence/country club sense. Yonkers, Mt. Vernon, and New Rochelle are basically extensions of the Bronx, and Mt. Vernon is the worst of the three. It’s also the hometown of DMX, and he earned his thug credentials. He’s much more representative of the city than Piddy or whatever the hell he’s calling himself this week.
Shit, I used to hang out in the Bronx because it was safer. Woodlawn, just over the border in the Bronx, is ten times nicer than Mt. Vernon. Or it was before the border jumping bastards started moving in. Even the South Bronx is better.
sitting at my desk, at my unpaid internship, this website is the only thing keeping me from pasing out from boredom on my keyboard. This and Facebook.
Internships aren’t always (usually?) public interest positions. FAIL
I’m an Engineer Intern and I get over paid so that law student thing is untrue. Engineering students get great internships and Jobs.
Huh? Did you get a chance to read the last entry? My ID happens to have come from it.
Although I didn’t mean to be provocative, you didn’t miss my comment, did you?
I’m not complaining. I’m providing my honest opinion as a reader.
Well they do wonders for you cv but really they are slave labour, the said thing is that everyone has gone on that bent even though they can afford to pay their workers decent money.

I’m a machinist now, grew up the son of professors. The thing is, I couldn’t care less what anyone thinks.
LOL! Some people actually think more than a few days into the future. Some actually realize that WORKING on one’s future will pay off, even if there is no MONETARY reward at the very moment.
Only whores expect to be paid for each and every move they make.
Intelligent people realize that working on their futures is something worth, for the future, MORE than a few bucks at the moment.
This is just more misunderstanding and intentional Divisiveness.
Do YOU get paid to do this BLOG? If not, then you are one and the same with the Interns. Only their Internships will probably result in their obtaining a job in the future. What will this blog get the author? A short term book deal? One that will fall flat, as Divisive Hatred is becoming more and more irrelevant, and this style of Anger affects fewer and fewer people?
The author is NO different than any “white” kid who works as an Intern. Only the Intern will actually benefit from his or her Internship in the future.
Fantastic write! Nuff said.

If the white person is doing an internship in the field of education, they will actually pay their university to allow them to work under a certified teacher in the public school system. So it is not only unpaid but bought. It is lovingly called Student Teaching. I know – I’ve done it.
haahaaaa having been a law student and a free intern thats funny
Ah, true. But the paid internships doing copy editing at engineering firms do.
And for all the “smart people” toiling away in their cubicles, some blindingly stupid errors get caught by the measly intern studying English.
They are not mocking people who volunteer. They are mocking those who take useless unpaid internships doing things that help nobody and then feel smug and self righteous. Kind of like you.
Long live the self-righteous!
Why is it so important to be a “gangster?” I think that I am too white to know. I used to teach English to white high school students from a really affluent white township in PA ; all could barely read or write with comprehension. My fellow reading teacher and I could hardly stomach the white “gangsta” thing, so we would tell our students that we would gladly take them up to the Bronx and drop them off. We would then drive around the block and if they were still alive we would take them home. These little twits would be crying for their mamas and sucking their thumbs back in their 4000 sq. ft. homes by the time they recovered. That white thing is so confusing to me. As a matter-of-fact. I think that really rich white boys with nothing to do but affect Latino accents, wear wife beaters, and hold their baggy pants up by keeping their hands in their pockets is a white phenom. Might make a really good post. Because these same white boys go home to mansions with swimming pools, 50.00 a week allowances, absent parent with really well stocked liquor cabinets. These same kids then become responsible for the really high freshman attrition rates at mediocre colleges.
Fifty dollars a week, that’s bullshit. If I didn’t get $200; I through a pout until I did.
There are actually only two types of white people who really spend any time thinking of black people or people of other ethnicities:
1. Really liberal self-righteous white people indulging white guilt.
2. Skinheads who just hate everyone including other white people.
Believe it or not, most white people don’t think of other people of other races too often, if at all.
Wouldn’t it be nice if we were all color blind. That way we wouldn’t filter our perceptions of others through generational biases. It’s over, let’s get on with it already.

If you actually knew anything about the guy who writes the majority of articles on this site and the book of the same name, Christian Lander, you’d realize that he’s making fun of himself the entire time. You’re absolutely right that he is no different than any white kid.
This website is not about anger, it’s about making fun of practices in one’s own culture that aren’t the most logical. We know that internships are crucial for future opportunities, but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be paid for the work we do. I am lucky enough to work in a field that pays their interns quite well, but I have a few friends that don’t.
Get over yourself.
Yes, we’re the lucky ones.
Seriously? That is over the top. I’m glad my heart stopped bleeding during my first (and last) paid (credits) internship.
Experience is good, but show me some love.
the only reason, EVER, to do it.
Pick your mentors and it’s all good.
Well, they usually have pretty bad taste too…
No wonder they’re unpaid.
Way keep de-valuing the entry-level workforce!
Except that he pursued a novel idea, created it himself, garnered the bazillion hits of a Google Ads wet dream and has spun the concept off onto other channels like print and facebook apps.
Sounds more like successful entrepreneurship, something an internship at a large corporation/association rarely teaches you.
well except the WordPress.
Gotta love the WordPress.
Guess I’m sooo black, cuz I could never get an unpaid internship. I sent out sooo many emails, and waste money in postage just to slave away for environmental firms but nothing happened. Its really a white thing. Now I make more than what my white colleagues who slaved away. So much for gaining experience before, its called wording resumes perfectly to match class descriptions as experience. And no, I wasn’t an affirmative Action Hire.
Very much on the spot with that.
http://www.buyrefurbtoday.com
Man, I hate it when peeps make their careers in human rights and similar nonsense. It’s so low-paying and therefore smug. Helping people is so white/self-serving’n’conceited, I’m glad I just help myself.
I strongly agree, I never distinguish between paid and unpaid on a resumé. Screw dat.
No, it’s because the New Yorker gives a great read. Anthony Lane is the god of film reviews, end. None of us are fit to lick his boots even.
I was lucky enough to find a PAID internship. It was still below market value, but it was nice to be paid for working.
Unpaid intern for the Obama campaign speaking… this basically sums up the entire experience. I wonder if I could be doing anything whiter this summer…
Unless your Black ass is working for BET,you sure ARE an affirmative action dipshit!
I was the most qualified candidate that interviewed for the current postion that I hold a national environmental planning firm. All other candidates were not college educated at the graduate level and were over experienced. I was the only one that met the criteria. So whatever problems you may have encountered with AA “dipshit” I ain’t one. after typing this i start questioning myself why am I even arguing my point to you? but I typed it so I’ll post it. Why is it so hard for you and other white supremacist to understand that there are well educated black people (minorities out there)
Hahahaha…..
This is so true!!!!!
Besides the unpaid internship, I have to pay my school for the credit…nearly $1500!!
You can’t write for shit regardless of who you are and what position you hold. Perhaps AA did indeed play a factor.
You cannot generalize this to white people. Everyone’s doing it. Its true for many college students;a for ex. Asian kids, white kids, black kids, indian kids and all other types of kids. lol..I crack myself up. And these days, different developing countries are starting to adopt this “cool american” internship strategy.
I don’t see anything wrong with it. Internships are great, but I wish they paid more.
Now I am feeling bad about my almost unpaid medical research internship at Yale. Should I drop out and look for a job that pays me well???
And you should not. That’s their opinion. they are entitled to theirs just like you are entitled to yours. Have fun!
It is NOT good to make fun of people . PERIOD. However, I think this blog is to lifting up the spirit of those stuck in these dead -end situations. At least it will help them see that they are not alone. I am not an intern, but for what I’m getting paid, I might as well be one.
Steff
probably becuase he thought you had the stupidity to say ‘yes’
wow, you are bitter
Wow what a totally underwhelming addition. Yes, we have all worked unpaid internships, it’s part of the career ladder, but hardly in the same league as a $12 sandwich, Microbrew beer or Asian chicks. This web blog has definitely jumped some form of aquatic animal and is taking up valuable non-scrolldown bookmark space on my favorites list.
Hope the book tour and Facebook programming are going well. See you when you make Drudge Report again.
was Monica Lewinsky an Intern?
i just pooped myself
well, thats why white ppl have nicer things that black ppl.
Wow. How fitting to be reading this from my office where I am currently an unpaid legal intern.
comedy is funny when it is close to the truth or reality for people – this one is sooo obscure for most people that it looses its value…seriosuly, how many people have friends who work/intern at NYorker?
i also just pooped
white people are retarded
I actually had to pay $1600 for my internship. I had to overload on credit hours in order graduate. I didn’t even get a job at the company, but I learned alot and loved the experience. Sometimes we white people do stupid things to get what we want.
a good one………….
The American investment banker was at the pier of a small coastal Mexican village when a small boat with just one fisherman docked. Inside the small boat were several large yellow fin tuna. The American complimented the Mexican on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took to catch them.
The Mexican replied, “Only a little while.”
The American then asked, “Why didn’t you stay out longer and catch more fish?”
The Mexican said, “With this I have more than enough to support my family’s needs.”
The American then asked, “But what do you do with the rest of your time?”
The Mexican fisherman said, “I sleep late, fish a little, play with my children, take siesta with my wife, Maria, stroll into the village each evening where I sip wine and play guitar with my amigos, I have a full and busy life.”
The American scoffed, “I am a Harvard MBA and could help you. You should spend more time fishing; and with the proceeds, buy a bigger boat: With the proceeds from the bigger boat you could buy several boats. Eventually you would have a fleet of fishing boats. Instead of selling your catch to a middleman you would sell directly to the processor; eventually opening your own cannery. You would control the product, processing and distribution. You would need to leave this small coastal fishing village and move to Mexico City, then Los Angeles and eventually New York where you will run your ever-expanding enterprise.”
The Mexican fisherman asked, “But, how long will this all take?”
To which the American replied, “15 to 20 years.”
“But what then?” asked the Mexican.
The American laughed and said that’s the best part. “When the time is right you would announce an IPO and sell your company stock to the public and become very rich, you would make millions.”
“Millions?…Then what?”
The American said, “Then you would retire. Move to a small coastal fishing village where you would sleep late, fish a little, play with your kids, take siesta with your wife, stroll to the village in the evenings where you could sip wine and play your guitar with your amigos.”
Luckily, my internship is paid, but I always thought it was exploitative of companies not to pay interns, anyway. It kind of discourages smart, hard-working students that simply cannot work for free. It’s funny how people assume that the experience of being an unpaid intern will eventually benefit them in a greater way.
This is probably my favorite entry. Nice work.
Jcanguy, Why do you let these people yank your chain? It isn’t worth getting upset over. You know you are qualified. So forget about it. The best thing you can do is feel sorry for them and hope that they don’t reproduce. And yes I am white, female, married, and I do not vote Democrat.
what does ‘American Airlines’ have to do with this??
yes, the class-gap is biggger than any ‘race-gap’
Or, he is definitely not just retarded.
Or, better yet…Alcoholics Anonymous!

I read this at my unpaid internship at a museum where I work for two museum curators. And yes, I want to be a museum curator. I am a cliche.
One of the many benefits of this unpaid internship, aside from the invaluable experience and connections I am making, is that I didn’t have to go anywhere to do it, so I’m not paying to work, thank goodness…
Well, we do get paid. But maybe we (engineers) are the wrong kind of white people. I know that I’ve been made to feel that way from many people in “creative” fields.
Who cares anymore?
Don’t you dare drag catfish into this!
Funny how only people who have ready access to money can work for free.
Education majors, at least in the south, are required to do one semester of internship for free… oh scratch that. we get to pay for our internship to the university of our choice at. At auburn this equals me paying 2800 dollars to teach for free…. we teach for free, to end up making roughly 36000 a year. before taxes.
white people are stupid.
im stupid.
innocent 10 year old: so miss, are you getting paid for this?
me: paid for what?
10 year old: you know, for teaching us all this stuff, like Mr.HostTeacher.
me: *awkward pause* um no.
Don’t get me wrong. All 3 placements (3 years, 3 different schools) taught me invaluable lessons and helped me make great contacts. In fact, my first job was at the school where i had finished my last placement as a student teacher. And, I’m now contacting the person I “worked” for as an 18 year old high school co-op student who is now a principal….
But I *really* disliked hearing the stories of my friends who were able to have reading week vacation money from their very well-paid summer internships.
forgot to mention these friends were in various forms of engineering programs
In my unpaid internship, working for a nonprofit that tries to get white people to care about Africa, I helped start up a blog:
http://africaaction.typepad.com/
Lots of fascinating info on African poetry, the G8, Sudan, the food crisis… good to know I am the right kind of white person!
A real return to form. Thanks “stuffwhitepeoplelike.com” !
Hi,
I am a college student and I recently created InternshipRatings.com. It is a resource for students to rate, research and compare internships in various industries across the United State.
Check it out!!
Lauren
Yep, i got to pay $600 for the 3-credit internship I did last summer. In the nonprofit PUBLIC HEALTH sector, of course. I am an idiot to not be a law student, clearly.
This list is getting way too real. It’s depressing
Ouch. This one hurt real bad. I didn’t know about the “paying the University of my choice to work for free” part when I decided to go back to school to be an Art Teacher. But its okay now, because when I can tell people I’m an Art Teacher and complain about being poor they can respond with, “Oh, fun!” and know that I am just the right kind of white person. The kind that all other white people should hate, because a broke and altruistic white person should be avoided at ALL COSTS, because if you don’t-It Will Cost You.
This chain of comments really is flawless. My favorite part is how the one guy called the other guy a white supremacist. How the hell do I need to be spelling that word? How the hell does Dude #1 know that the other writer is white? Does it have to do with the fact that he is an ass hole? Because that could make him Iranian. I must sooo be an Iranian Supremacist!
Lets all start callin’ names, now!
I love you for this comment.
At least you’re paying an awesome unversity. So you’re not totally stupid!! War Eagle!!!
The Metro is in Paris, right? Helluva ride.
I cant believe you would say such a thing…white people are not by any means stupid.
this whole website shit is stupid. Its a color thing and a culture thing. Black people will always be bitter at the fact that the white people made the rules. Your born with your skin and there’s no changing that but for us to keep rehashing stupid shit like “what white people like” is absurd. Lets see what black people like…1) anything FREE 2) being considered a minority when really they multiply so fast for welfare that they are the majority ( of the US debt) 3) criminals (they are the majority of the crime rate)…please …lets be realistic…blacks should go home where they belong…. what white people like is fixing a mistake they made many moons ago…return the blacks to where they belong to quit causing us problems.
So very true. That’s exactly why I decided to shun the system and not follow the traditional no-pay PA route. Thinks worked out okay. Sometimes I wish I had the luxury to take a job where I could not get paid and just get verbally abused all day, but somethings are just not meant to be. That being said, TwoWhiteBoys.com, is looking for interns…apply within. 🙂
http://twowhiteboys.com/2008/
Umm…somebody let this guy in on the joke. (Not that you’re entirely wrong). But seriously…”returning blacks to where they belong”? Can you imagine the logistical nightmare that would be? I’d hate to be the security screener on that flight.
http://twowhiteboys.com/2008/
“New Yorker” was just an example. Unless you didn’t go to college (which is highly unlikely if you’re white), then you surely know someone who was an intern somewhere. Just substitute your friends’ internship with the “New Yorker,” perhaps then you’ll see the comedy in the piece. Cheers.

Law students who are white do unpaid internships after their first year of law school. Usually within the formal judicial system (ie judges, prosecutors, etc.). Of course, after that they get paid a ton o dough. But they always refer back to their days of working for nothing with admiration (for themselves).
This blog made it to the top of the list of best blogs at http://www.linkrow.com
No one likes unpaid internships. They suck and u do them to learn/be more qualified to get a much better job when the time come. That way people can make much more money so they can buy $40 bottles of water. $40 for a bottle of water??? YEA. It exists. Read about this scam here: http://www.garbarrassing.com/Comment/Blogs/0011.php
Black People don’t like the term slavery nor do they like working fro free, not matter whether its: internship, community service, volunteering… Free just aint cool!
Black people do however like getting “The Hook Up” so can you hook a brother up with a paid internship!
people only like internships because that’s the only way they can say they work some where prestigious. example no one has to know you’re not getting paid.
if someone ask “hey where for you work?” you can say “DreamWorks, assisting Steven Spielberg” instead of McDonalds where you’re actually getting paid.

I wonder…
If the choice between being an intern at the parent’s job or someplace else, which is the better option?
Probably somewhere else as it is more fitting with the theme of not liking the parents, choosing different religions, etc.
HAH! That’s so funny, i just came accross this similar ‘stuff snoburbians like blog.’
http://snoburbia.typepad.com/the_snoburbs/2008/07/internships-and.html
I’m reading this from my unpaid summer internship at an environmental nonprofit. I also work full-time waiting tables to keep the money coming in. So not only am I making more money than most McDonald’s workers, I’m becoming waaaay more attractive to future low-paying employers in nonprofit and politics. But working this much sucks. I should be paid. Could all of the right kind of white people go on strike?…
But then the non-profits would go out of business. Because we do all their dirty work
And the newest trend in slave labour? ONLINE internships!
I’m doing one now as a matter of fact; though I do already earn a steady income from freelance writing gigs.
In France, where I used to live, it’s even worse (URL is a post about unpaid internships there)– but the root cause is the same: young people want jobs, but not just ANY jobs….
In France, where I used to live, it’s even worse (the link is to a post about unpaid internships in France). The root cause though is the same– these young people want jobs, but not just any job.
Last summer I did an unpaid internship at a non-profit theatre in Chicago (chicagodramatists.org–they totally rock!). This summer I have a paid internship for at a for-profit company and it’s a little unreal that I am getting paid for doing essentially the same thing I did last year.
I didn’t have a problem with not getting paid last year because, as a small company, the theatre needed all of the support it can get. The lack of support for the arts in the U.S. in particular makes such unpaid internships necessary in order for these organizations to stay afloat.
I dont think there’s a more consistent website on the whole entire interweb as this one. Always great entries followed by comments by people unable to laugh at themselves. Keep up the good work.
I didn’t know journalism was high profile, or even a desirable job. Does this mean I get to start associating with all the rich white people and hot girls with bangs?
This website was very funny for a long time but I feel our writer is running out of ideas or is too distracted with his new book. Its been a while since any of the new entries were that funny.
You forgot to mention that any white person who does this kind of internship goes out of their way to tell yiou that it is “unpaid.”
Hows your toyota prius running these days?
Interns are for the bosses to sleep with, especially gov’t interns (party affiliation does not matter). Unfortunately it took segregationist Governor Wallace to reveal the truth that “there’s not a dime’s worth of difference between” Republicans and Democrats. The Democrats willingly went along with the War in Iraq, suspension of Habeas Corpus, detaining protesters, banning books like “America Deceived’ from Amazon, stealing private lands (Kelo decision), warrant-less wiretapping and refusing to investigate 9/11 properly. They are both guilty of treason.

Jesus. Are you guys freaking serious? I had a paid internship every summer in college and still got credit for it.
This may be a lesson to all white people – stop getting liberal arts degrees.
Money is the most accurate benchmark of market value, so what does this tell you? Spending 4 years studying Foucault, Derrida, and Singer amount to sh*t.
Now, get me another Tanqueray & Tonic.
My fellow white folks, this is just embarrassing. Did your parents ever teach you about money? Jesus.
I hate to say it, but I agree.

This site sucks now. Ever since the book dool clander and co. have gotten really lazy. The fact is, they got paid and now they just don’t give a shit. “Girls With Bangs” and “Unpaid Internships” are feeble topics with half-assed writing. I think the winning articles from the contest were pulled out of a bingo ball cage.
You suck clander.
book “deal” that is. I’m not sure what a “dool” is.

Just got the book, hilarious!
Where is the blog for the other half of the white population? The middle class white ones that think Bill O’Reilly and Nancy Grace are god, are ultra conservative, with kids that listen to rap yet are afraid of black people, and who openly hate minorities (like Mexicans) and foreign culture (like the French)? We must not forget them in our White assessment, they make up America. Talk about offense, they would be outraged to see such a blog put up, calling them out in all their glory.
BTW, loved this blog. Recognised quite a bit of myself in this, as well as many of my peers.
You might want to create the blog “Stuff the Wrong Kind of White People Like.” Sheesh — Nancy Grace? Rap music? I’m raising five young RKOWPs. I spend most of my time keeping them away from your kind.
Oh I forgot — we run into your kind at the Country Club — when they’re forgetting to bring our towels to the pool.
Hmm…sounds like you’re looking for twowhiteboys.com.
Yeah, but some of these unpaid internships are for school. I took an unpaid internship at a PR company a few years ago for school credit. However, rather than paying off and giving me a foot in the door, I often get asked “what was it like working for this person?” This particular PR person doesn’t exactly have the best rep in the PR circles around here.
what would you lose?
Nice meeting you last night! (Oh and we pay our interns– anyone looking?)
Ouch! Sting like a bee there Brooks.
HEY, white BUSINESS STUDENTS also take internships, not just artsy people and law students. I answered phones for an advertising agency.
Am I “the wrong type of white person”? No, I’m an accounting student, and there are lots of greedy whtie people who get business internships. We CAN actually make money after. He dropped the ball on this one!
i just pooped
did hitler have interns?
One of the best yet. Some of the more recent entries have seemed a bit tired, but this was good start to finish.
And what a punchline: “You earned it.” They will not get the joke.
I’m a student and I can tell you that I would refuse an unpaid internship. Now a PAYING one…now we’re talkin’.
“For example, if you were to present a white 19 year old with the choice of spending the summer earning $15 an hour as a plumber’s apprentice or making $0 answering phones at Production Company, they will always choose the latter.”
Evidently CLander does not understand the nature of real work, i.e. plumbing. Perhaps the Chairman Mao internship as a peasant would help him understand. For the dim an apprentise plumber crawls around under decrepid houses after the sewer stack cracks spewing putrid crud all over. They do this for $15/hr. Real work = $15/hr, bogus phone answering job = $0/hr.
Except when they tank because they take on subprime securities.
As someone who works with many unpaid interns… They can be helpful, that is for sure. But interns do not necessarily deliver quality work. They are baby professionals learning through on the job training, which can lead to a paid position with an organization, creates networks for the individual in the field, and provides a reference for future job hunting. All of this, for which the intern pays me nothing.
I was willing to do unpaid (i am black) but they ended up paying me of course. I just found this blog and its the most controversial ever.
people only like internships because that’s the only way they can say they work some where prestigious. example no one has to know you’re not getting paid.

You ARE the wrong type of white person. So am I. But anyone who asks if they’re the “wrong” type of white person, then gets mad about it, is DEFINITELY the wrong type of white person. The right type of white person decides who’s the wrong type.
Wow homes, and I thought I was low paid, and here are the white people working for free. Sounds like bullshit, and white people never do any real work anyway, they are to good for work.
Yes, me. Look it up! At least our trains ran on time.
FUCK THAT! show me the money!
white folks don’t do any work? we did a good job of enslaving the black folks and shipping them to america. and hey killing all the natives when we got there wasn’t easy either. coffee doesn’t drink it’s self you know
How about stuff white parents like?
Sixto, as to your statement that “white people don’t do any work anyway, they are to (sic) good for work”. Go learn english, it is spelled too and not to.
So you are up to 105, and you haven’t mentioned Coldplay?
Seriously…just…seriously!
I read a blog and I liked iiiiit! (Katy Perry can go suck it, but that tune is catchy!) Thanks for helping us all take a moment to giggle at ourselves 🙂
lol #99
Actually no. I always tell people I worked at x place. I never mention it was an internship.
Too funny. My caucasian wife graduated with a history degree. Afterwards , for a year she “volunteered” as an intern at a museum. After a year of free labor she was hired on as a Registrar doing the same exact job she did as an intern. My Asian parents always asked. “Does she get paid as a volunteer? She has a degree.” I can see how difficult it was for them to comprehend. Things were more confusing when she was hired! My successful immigrant parents wanted to know, “Now that she is paid, why is she doing the same Exact job?” My wife cracked up on this submission. She’s white however, she drives a Prius with a “W” sticker and she’s proud!
Like your mom?
Uhh…your parents didn’t go to college, did they?
Well you can’t pay someone who is worthless. Majority of the mentioned people have contributed nothing to the working world. Education will never be a substitue for experience. My parents couldn’t afford college, so I worked my way to the top the old fashion way. WORK
I read this while not doing any real work at my unpaid internship… haha
I did an unpaid internship in grad school and I am employed in an entirely different field, and by the way I have #47 an arts degree
Totally agree….black folk do not like working for free…our ancestors did enough of that…I did three internships while I was in college…all of them paid…some paid more than many of my friends made after they actually graduated from college…..

wow – you are really smart
wow – you sure are on the top – which is why you are posting on a lame blog entry. the top is nice. i’ma bottom.
interns are good for office eye-candy and the company softball team and not much else.
i would love to hear stories from interns who hooked up with their ‘mentors’ or bosses.
Shelly is right. Apparently accountants are the wrong type of white people since most accounting firms pay their interns. When I was in school, every one of my classmates with good grades (3.5 and higher) had an internship with one of the Big 4 accounting firms (Deloitte, Ernst & Young, KPMG and PricewaterhouseCoopers), and all they would do is talk about how much they were getting paid. The range was $14-21 per hour. There were even some that were fortunate enough to take off spring semester to be a slave for these firms by working 70+ hours during “busy season” (Jan-April 15). Everyone forgets about the accountants…
White people view the internship as their foot into the door to such high-profile low-paying career fields as journalism, film, politics, art, non-profits, and anything associated with a museum.
This is right. Just like those White chumps that work for Jews in the “mail-room” of the Hollywood companies.
Marilyn Monroe is one of many Gentile actors who fell under the dominance of a string of Jewish psychoanalysts.
Marilyn’s publicist, Arthur Jacobs, was also Jewish. So were her agents at MCA, Jay Kanter and Mort Viner. Many of the directors of her films were Jews (for example, Billy Wilder of Some Like It Hot and George Cukor of Let’s Make Love). Natasha Lytess, her personal manager and the subject of speculation about Monroe’s rumored lesbianism, was Jewish, from Austria.
Monroe had resolved to sleep with anyone who could help her attain fame and fortune in Jewish-dominated Hollywood.
In olden times,” Upton Sinclair once remarked, “Jewish traders sold Christian girls into concubinage and into prostitution, and even today they display the same activity in the same field in southern California where I live.” Or as F. Scott Fitzgerald summed up the Hollywood scene of his era — “a Jewish holiday, a Gentile tragedy” (Gabler, 2)
In 1955, 20th Century Fox awarded Monroe the richest per-film contract of any actress. “It means,” remarked Monroe, “I’ll never have to suck another cock again!”
“In fact, the only way to get the white person to choose the plumbing option would be to convince them that it was leading towards an end-of-summer pipe art installation.”
Quite possibly clander’s best quote ever.
Whites should never demean physical labor, nor pass it off to non-Whites, because the offspring of the “laborers” will flood the school system and then Whites will be forced to flee from the children of the laborers they hire.
It’s folly.
Never, ever demean the trades. That a jewish characteristic.
Oh, just great. Just what the world need more of “NGO’s”.
An “NGO” is about as leftist weasel jew as it gets.
Ugh. We need less of these things. The vast majority of them are anti-White anyway. Do you SWPL people know anything about what is White, and what is anti-White???
The truth hurts gringo.
Good call.
The ultimate affirm action hire was Condolezza Rice. A person with a PHD in “Russian studies” (probably tutored under Russian-Jewish professors anyway) is picked to lead the foreign policy of the world’s top power in a post 9/11 world.
What a joke.
They don’t understand it’s all a big pyramid scheme. The Harvard professors’ graduate students become the UCLA professors whose graduate students become the Cal State LA professors whose students become the schoolteachers who browbeat their more gullible pupils into believing that everybody should go to college, no matter how obvious a waste of money and time it will turn out to be.
Students with below average IQs are just the cannon fodder that keeps the system churning along for the professors.
In contrast, the Europeans have kept lower education less egalitarian, and thus more effective. The shameful mediocrity of modern European higher education seems to have helped prevent the leftism espoused by European universities from infecting the rest of the educational system. While everybody wants to be Harvard Jr., nobody is excited about emulating poor old Göttingen.
In most of Germany, for example, children are still tracked, based on parents’ and teachers’ assessment of their academic potential, into different types of schools beginning with fifth grade. The lower kinds of schools lead to vocational training and rigorous apprenticeships. The high-quality blue-collar work force created by this system contributes mightily to the famed precision of the country’s machine tools and BMWs.
Yet, to an American K-12 educator, indoctrinated in the assumption that the purpose of life is to get into Harvard, this German system seems inhumanly cruel:
“How can you permanently crush a 10-year-old’s self-esteem, indeed, his very reason for existence, by telling him that he isn’t smart enough to graduate from college? How can any child survive the ignominy of hearing that he will soon be able to put his books aside and start learning from master craftsmen how to build mighty machines? What kind of boy could tolerate being told that while the smarter children will be spending another decade or two huddled in the library, he will be getting paid to make Porsches?”
The German system is analogous to the famous two-track system used by most militaries: commissioned officers and enlisted. Militaries have long experience with keeping up the esprit de corps of career enlistees.

The College Paradox: Not Everyone Gains By Higher Education
Engineering is a WHITE discipline. If you SWPL types think otherwise, then it’s you who are the wrong kind of people.
Whites are responsible for almost every single important engineering feat and technological development the world has known over the past 2,000 years.
Putting man on the moon was White.
”
In fact, the only way to get the white person to choose the plumbing option would be to convince them that it was leading towards an end-of-summer pipe art installation.

LOL
So not just any old pipe are installation, but an end-of-summer one. God we love to hyphenate and overmodify, don’t we?
🙂
Please stay out of the White gene pool. It takes a White female and a White male only to have White offspring.
Why does your girlfriend want to flush here genes down the toilet and have an asian child?
Whites are nuts these days. People come here “all proud to be White” and discuss all things White, but then they choose to have non-White kids and deny their own offspring what they themselves are proud of. It boggles the mind.
No he’s not, he’s right on.
Look at all the 1960’s Civil Rights people (anti-White) and the appeasement of the negro. What has it gotten us? A group of feral morons that were exposed by Katrina for their natural state. Since emancipation of the US negro, we now have 37,000 black on white rapes ANNUALLY in this country.
What did the 1980’s “anti-apartheid” idiots give us? A failed South African state where a slow genocide of Whites is taking place and Whites are routinely and savagely murdered.
Yeah, tell us where the 2008 Obama revolution is going to take Whites. Nowhere we want to be.
what is your “field”?
anti-White arts? diversity orgs? anti-Western NGO?
do tell us.
the cartoons in the New Yorker are good.
David Remnick is just another leftist White-hating jew. I cannot believe any intelligent White would bother with that.
Time is finite. Why waste it reading that stuff?
LOL!!! My buddy’s girlfriend (gorgeous, by the way) was named Anastasia, and her family was from Bulgaria.
They didn’t have your attitude. Your name is very ethnic for being anti-trades and anti-honest work.
LOL!!
It’s here.

human rights.
What about the slaughter of White farmers in the former Rhodesia, now Zimbabwe? Now the country starves.
Then the Zimbabweans sneak into failing South Africa, and are massacred with machetes by their own black (xeonphobic!) brethern.
No White ever talks about these issues, because there is no White to blame.
“an NGO in Africa” has to be the biggest waste of time for a White person ever.
Africa is an AIDS infested hellhole, with low IQ people running the governments, filled with oversexed people with no sense of responsibility.
The illegitimacy rate in Africa is out of control.
Either God or Evolution made us different from them. Leave it be.
Quit trying to expect the sameness of outputs when the inputs are not equal and never will be.
Folly.
right.
How did Western Civ evolve, and how did the Whites ever put man on the moon without “yoga”?
It’s comical.
the SMARTEST move a White can make is to do an unpaid, or lowly paid, “diversity” internship at an early age — to get it over with.
For instance, helping build homes in Mississippi, or teaching in an inner-city neighborhood, etc.
In this fashion, the smart White can therefore fulfill his “diversity” resume and get it over with. Later on, when the typical anti-White racist or liberal jew gets in your face about “being a White person”, you can pull this out to shut them up.
Plus is looks good in press releases, and other bio articles etc.
Trust me on this one. Whites without some sort of retort to anti-White racists will have to get one. That is the world the anti-White liberal has created for the next generations of Whites.
well put.
Whites are the only ones that do this. Most old jews retire and support Zionist politics, etc. They don’t volunteer like Whites do.
Why don’t you use your knowledge and start a company? or become an inventor? get a patent?
Come on. You’re White, you should know this already.
True. He fooled the Boston Irish for years with the “Kerry” thing. Jews are masters at changing their surnames.
I agree with you. Only a small portion of Whites think about race. Meanwhile every other race obsesses about it, with the Hebrews taking the top post, followed by Blacks, then LaRaza, and then Asians.
Asians are probably the least racist, next to the Whites.
(i>I mean, what kind of idiot would go into journalism, film, politics, art, or worse of all, NON-PROFITS?
The pen is mightier than the sword. Ever heard that?
Why do you think Jews flock to these industries if they are unimportant? They are very important for corrupting the souls and minds of Whites. That’s the whole point. This SWPL website is living proof of how well they’ve succeeded with screwing up Whites. Many of these duped Whites actually think being dupes is being the RKOWP!! It’s really interesting to see, if it wasn’t so sad for Whites.
Now back to our multi-cultural office company commercial, our multi-cult TV shows…..and SWPL types telling us about their non-White girlfriends and boyfriends.
That figures that you do.
Whites that demean the trades or skilled labor are FOOLS, and by importing non-whites to do this work, are ruining the country for future generations of Whites.
Why would any sane White hire an illegal housekeeper, who then has 5 kids, who enter the local schools — and then these Whites decide to move when the schools are majority non-white?
Can’t they see their own stupidity in creating the problem?
You should never EVER feel that way.
Look at the state of the nation. That is your retort to these idiots.
Whites put a man on the moon in 1969, since the USA went “third world” and “diverse” since that time look at NASA. They spend more time worrying and arguing about the racial composition of the flight crews than they do doing science.
Never ever take shit from a loser who couldn’t even comprehend passing calculus — most especially never from a non-White who probably doesn’t even know what it is.
Your comment makes Whites sad.
Exactly. This is an example of a well-adjusted, intelligent, thoughful White person. Post more often, chris.
as Divisive Hatred is becoming more and more irrelevant
Oh really? Why did Obama have to give the first-ever speech on “Race”? Why did Obama belong to a black theology church that espoused black nationalism and racism?
Why do McCain and Obama have to listen to racist jews and AIPAC.
Ever heard of La Raza?
You are not very in tune with the racists that are everywhere in the USA.
The name SamFrancis was the giveaway for the black AA racist, to play the race card.
Whites should read about Sam Francis, he was one of the best White journalists that existed. He died not too long ago.
Whenever a person uses the term “racist” or “supremacist” it’s usually that person who is the real racist. Kinda the “takes one to know one” phenomenon.
She was being sarcastic.
I think.
the only thing “whiter” you could do would to be a white victim of a black rapist, and not see it coming.
I did an engineering internship and it paid very well. I guess that means I’m not the right kind of white people. But I assume I made up for it after doing my clerkships during lawshool.
haha I love this blog!
Correcting grammar, I commend you on your whiteness!
I saw this same thing posted in Hvar, Croatia without the “mexico” reference.
I’d like to help the 4 MILLION Whites get out of South Africa before they are slaughtered and murdered by the feral Africans.
Gee, do you think you could help Whites for one day?
Loser.
They give my job to a border-jumping dirtbag and they’ll find out how well someone works with a screwdriver in their skull.
black males have high HIV rates. Play at your own risk ladies.
“Once you go black……
we don’t want you back!”
Poll, would any White male here marry a woman who had dated a black guy, for say 2 years prior? Be honest.
see prior post about getting the “diversity” credential over with. It’s a good idea for aspiring CEO type Whites to do something like this and get it over with.
That way, the anti-White bigot and complainer cannot trap you into the “guilt” thing. Doing something like this once can shut up any anti-White racist at any cocktail party.
Good for you Lisa. For-profit or non-profit….at least you aren’t asking the government and the US taxpayer to support it.
You must not be on board the socialist Obama-bus.
Right on.
You are stupid.
Nancy Grace is anti-White!! Are you insane?
As for people who hate others, it’s well known through crime stats that Blacks flat-out hate Whites. LaRaza types hate Whites too. Liberal Jews? Do you think these people like Whites???
There is alot of hate out there, and plenty of it is directed at Whites, Christians, etc.
What planet do you live on?
the wrong kind of Whites are those who associate with the aforementioned and do nothing to stop their anti-White bigotry.
What’s going to happen to the little jew swindler interns now that Bear Stearns went down?
After an incident involving a MIA teacher, a classmate three years older than me deciding to pass the time by beating up the white boy, and my chair, I was transfered to a upper-middle class school. No blacks or Latinos, thankfully, but half the students were into the whole ‘gangsta’ thing. The other half were either preppies or grunge, depending on the week. I was one of the very few metalheads.
I nearly popped a blood vessel one day when I heard some princess whining that Daddy bought her a used BMW instead of a new one. I’ve worked since I was twelve. For a stretch when my father was on strike, it was Mac & Cheese on a daily basis. I couldn’t walk around my block without getting jumped. And the worst thing this c@^# could imagine was being seen in a used luxury car by the Scarsdale kids.
For lunch I’d go down to the bar down the street. It’s probably what kept me from snapping. Although I did blow off some steam beating up the dopey Italians who’d seen Goodfellas too many times and tried to prove they were tough guys by taking on the dirty working-class out-of-towner.
CLander should be charging all the people advertising on his site.
“Once you go black……
we don’t want you back!”
I’m stealing that.
As for your question, not just no, HELL NO!
Even if the blood tests come back negative, she’s gonna have all kinds of issues. Usually involving her father.
Look at He Who Must Not Be Middle Named’s mother. She wanted to get back at white men in general, and I’m sure Daddy in particular, by having as many half breed kids as possible.
The fact is most of us really don’t care if they ruin their lives. It’s when they expect us to support their bastards we get annoyed.
There are three kinds of people who have self-hatred down to an art form:
Secular Jews.
Liberal Whites.
African Muslims (they’ll quite literally kill you if you call them Black).
“But then the non-profits would go out of business.”
You say that like it’s a bad thing.
Okay well I have an internship thats paying $19.50 an hour right now and after I’m done, I’ll be making $50,000 right out of college. I’m 21 and don’t think that’s such a bad deal.
The original article is just another reason why generalizations are ridiculous. If you want to work without getting paid to get ahead in a career you want…do it. If you want to earn money while getting ahead…do it.
IT’S YOUR OWN DAMN CHOICE!
Pot makes you vote wrong.
Dude, leave the Asians alone.
you fail to mention your job. At what job do you make $19.50 an hour at a quote “internship”?
hoping you answer
Broseph
spoken like a true moron
Your comment sucks.
It’s meant to be humorous. Chill out.
AMEN
Catfish are not the issue here!
awsome
I slept with my manager, an age appropriate, green dress, woman in 2004. She was a canvas manager for the Kerry campaign in the tampa/orlando area (the I-4 corridor), a “highly contested” area.
She was my boss; she was a good one. We believed, and we hooked up. Every one!
because accountants are boring and they give into society’s “needs”.
Pretty sure you hate your profession
-Broseph
figures you dont want answers
give it up and cheat on your wife, you sick bastard.
how do you define “contributing to the working world’?. What do you mean?
you said you “worked your way to the top”. What is “the top”?
simple.
Leave White genes and culture alone too.
miscegenation results in one thing and one thing only…..
Destruction of our diversity and the genocide of White genes.
It’s nonsense to discuss “white people” as a uniform group since diversities among “white people” are totally ignored.
We don’t say such as “white cars run the best.”
Wait a minute, Obama wants to implement affirmative action? Hello, he could make a nice start by letting that nice woman Hillary be the first woman president!
Let’s do the math folks. Obama is half white and all man, which makes him only 25% oppressed. On the other hand, Hillary may be all white, but she’s also ALL woman, making her 50% percent oppressed, fully twice the oppression of Obama!

Culture trumps genetics (although some groups seem determined to prove that wrong).
There’s genes for cancer, intelligence, weight, mental stability, athletics, ect., but there are no genes for morals or work ethics.
Differences in individual ability outweigh those between groups, outside certain isolated, horribly inbred over centuries groups, and no, I’m not talking about West Virginia. (Hint: most of them pray to a rock five times a day).
If genetic makeup was the Alpha and Omega you think it is, either this blog wouldn’t exist or we’d all fit the profile.
Predestination is a heretical doctrine. No matter how genetically predisposed or culturally indocrinated someone is, they are still responsible for their actions, good or bad.
The problems with gangbangers, jihadis, hippies, and other wastes of life are their goals and methods, not their innate abilities. Sadly, most people are cattle-minded, going along with whatever their taught. In the case of, say, an Irish-American with a Jesuit education, that can be a good thing. Over 90% of the time, you’ll have an honest, hard working, patriotic, honorable man. Some of the time you’ll have a lazy, unfaithful, wife-beating bum, but not anywhere near as often as if he’d been a tinker taking in how to run cons with his mother’s milk.
Take a child forced to memorized the koran in a madrassa, learn the glories of mohammed, hatred of infidels, jihad and to treat women as property, reinforced by daily beatings and the occasional molestation. What are the odds of him becoming a jihadi compared to a well-adjusted, tax-paying, law-abiding, loving husband and father?
Imagine twins seperated at birth, raised in these two environments. Aside from looks, intelligence, and maybe some mannerisms, do you really think they’d be the same kind of people when they grew up?
The fact that you did actual work, and was paid for it, speaks well of you.
I’ve found I can spot interns at offices I’m going through. They’re the ones staring into space like a steer after the sledgehammer nails them.
That’s a good idea.
I usually respond with, “I grew up in that shit, I busted my ass to get out of it, and I’m not going back.” They tend to get quiet and back away avoiding eye contact or sudden movements.
Even when I’m cleaned up and well dressed, I can’t hide the “I’d step over your corpse to get a beer” vibe for long.
At least it cuts boring conversations short.
Good point.
Whites are the only people with diversity. No other race can have blonde, brown, red, or black hair or blue, brown or green eyes.
The utter uniformity of Asians is not their plus in life.
Celebrate diversity, do not let White genes get lost.
HAVE WHITE CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!! They will thank you for it forever.
DAMN! I never got the chance to be an intern!
you are a douche…i was an unpaid intern two summers ago and now i am getting paid 83 without bonus (which is anywhere from 40-70)….so i guess my internship wasn’t worth it…oh and there are many others like me
You just summed up half the flame wars on kos over the last few months.
The other half were about whether the troops are bloodthirsty baby-killers or victims forced to commit war crimes.
There’s nothing more pitiful than two liberals arguing who’s the bigger victim.
wow, you’re really a nazi aren’t you…
Its called satire. White People = entitled rich liberal kids who feel guilty about being rich and graduate from little ivy schools like Williams.
its not referring to your banker job on Wall St. White People is referring to people that read the New Yorker not the WSJ set who don’t feel guilty about making money and advancing society.
You guys just don’t get it. This is satire and its hilarious.
When they refer to WHITE PEOPLE it means the following:
-Northeast and Northwest liberals.
NOT:
People who like to make money on Wall St.
People who aren’t in the cult of personality Obama platform.
People who shop at Wal-Mart and watch Nascar.
I cannot understand how you have gotten famous.
This is the stupidest thing I’ve ever read in my life.
Oh, fuck, wait, I see it, you’re famous because you’re not funny and have absolutely nothing original to offer, that’s why you’ve become popular.
and holy shit, you’re white? that explains EVERYTHING.
and you’re from toronto?
dude, I hope you die as soon as possible.
Go have yourself a good cry white boy. Are tampons for white boys?
also people who take it in the ass! yes Rudy you freak how are your hamsters?
Nah, but world heavyweight championships in MMA are. You see, the black man simply isn’t intelligent or disciplined enough to compete in today’s mixed martial arts.

Face it. We “like” non-whites. In turn, they HATE us. I have five kids. All are of British, German and Irish origin. Black and Hispanic people hate us. Trust me.
Oh and I forgot. The Jews I know (and I know a lot) hate us at the same time they envy us.
Have you ever seen a black or Hispanic person all up in your face when they’re ALONE? I didn’t think so.
Um…..hello?
Obama is the ultimate affirm action candidate and individual. He’s been given everything, his whole entire life, solely because of affirm action.
He’s never done anything of record to date.
His community organizing in Chicago accomplished nothing, nada, zip.

Only White people could have produced White culture. Only White people can.
“The civilization that we as whites created in Europe and America could not have developed apart from the genetic endowments of the creating people, nor is there reason to believe that the civilization can be successfully transmitted to a different people.”
PS regarding twins read more here:
http://vdare.com/Sailer/bell_curve.htm
Dr. Plomin has been hard at work on finding the various genes that influence intelligence for years. More fundamentally, that there are variable genes that impact intelligence should be obvious to anyone with more than one child. Something besides upbringing makes siblings turn out so different. Indeed, Thomas Bouchard’s famous Minnesota Twins study settled the question once and for all in 1990 by confirming earlier studies showing that identical twins raised in separate families are more similar than fraternal twins raised side-by-side.
But when Plomin (or somebody else) starts isolating the exact genes that cause differences in intelligence, the end will be very near for the Age of Denial.
more:
But evidence from the comparison of twins raised apart points rather convincingly to genes as the source of a lot of that likeness. In the most widely publicized study of this type, launched in 1979, University of Minnesota psychologist Thomas Bouchard and his colleagues have chronicled the fates of about 60 pairs of identical twins raised separately. Some of the pairs had scarcely met before Bouchard contacted them, and yet the behaviors and personalities and social attitudes they displayed in lengthy batteries of tests were often remarkably alike.

Blacks do not do well at the position.
I did an internship at a labor research center for a college credit. I was paid, not much, but still paid. I was only required to work 10 hours, but I did extra hours. The payoff: this center gave me a recommendation that helped me enter Grad School so I don’t complain. Still, the post was pretty funny, especially the pipeline art project.

The Amos and Andy show used this same kind of humor to negatively stereotype blacks. The stupid always laughed then,
too …stupid has never cared about color differences.
Umm…you do know that this blog is written by a WHITE PERSON right?
Geezus fucking christ is this crappy blog still taking air???? FAWK. Dumbest goddam thing since…..
I had a great intern gig, I used to shave the bushes at a strip joint! SICK!
Wow. It’s gotten pretty racist over here since I last visited!
You are so funny – I wish you would come to Denver. Your work is very popular here.
Seriously?
I guess it must be inflation.
Want to talk about really weird racism…
Around here, the Puerto Ricans hate the Mexicans, the Mexicans hate the Puerto Ricans. The Spanish people (people who really come from Spain) get really upset if you mistake them for either Puerto Rican or Mexican. And you though white people were prejudiced.

please , pray for me
No matter where I go, I always manage to poop my pants.
You can always go the Mel Gibson route, but you’d have to be willing to put your whole carreer on the line.
an internship is a stepladder usually on the way to a great and well paying job,.. (business executive – probably was an intern at one point) (Mcdonald’s employee, whats an intern?) that fact that you can imply that only white people participate in this activity is not only racist but disgusting, shame on you….
Can you say Student Teaching?
Jesus rejected golden-calf worshipers, their laws, their corruption, their racism, their tribal hate of others….and he kicked the greedy jew moneychangers out of God’s temple.
you don’t know your Christianity very well.

you flatter the Inbred Yid….keep it up.
You flatter the Inbred Yid!!
You “right kind of Whites’ have followed every single destructive idea, fashion, cultual movement that we jews have produced for you.
you love white girls in porn, abortion of your future generations, open borders to races hostile to yours, etc. etc.
We love anti-White racist ideas, but we love nazism for ourselves in our racist/nationalist Israel. You right kind of whites are stupid.
When we are done screwing up the West, we will jump like we always have in history, to another nation. Jews are starting to contemplate jumping like a flea to the next biggest dog: Asia.
Spain, to Holland, to UK, to Germany — then to the USA, but where do you “right kind of Whites’ think jews will end up in the in their next move after using up your host nation???
That’s right fake Yid, he’s the only one.
Black racist MLB commentator Joe Morgan always brings him up solely because of Gibson’s skin color. How lame it that?
I banged our receptionist. Hot time. I still have memories about it.
Every so often I’ll jack to it.
Most of those white folks accepting the internships usually come from financially stable homes, where they know that their parents will be able to retire and take care for themselves.
Wait, there’s also Oil Can Boyd.
So many people to hate, so little time.
What’s wrong with taking people as individuals, judging them solely by their character, and not by simple stereotypes?
You know, you and Sixto should get together. I think you’d be a terrific couple….
The name of the website is not Stuff That Only White People Do and No Other Races Allowed.
Ah yes, Dennis Boyd, a mediocre major leaguer and a perfect example of the black athlete:
I am The Can, and I am going to come right at you with my best shit, and if you can hit it, I want to see how far Bo Jackson can hit The Oil Can. –Boyd, to Jackson, before he hit Boyd’s first pitch over the 71-foot high score board in straight away center field at Fenway Park (the ball landed 515 feet from home plate). Resource: 10K Truth – Baseball Quotes.
The white man doesn’t talk shit, because he is intelligent enough to understand how it often bites you in the ass.
And then there are the Jewish major leaguers. Sandy Koufax? Gay as a french horn. The first Jewish ballplayer, Moe Berg? Surprise, he was a spy for the forerunner to the CIA.
Did you know Fernando Valenzuela was Jewish, the son of a rabbi, and was bar mitzvahed? Neither did I, until recently; why the big secret? Why does the Jew always hide his Jewishness?
Heck, I’m not white and I’m at an internship, and I am on the road to a low-paying, glamorously un-glamorous job. This blog is a friendly joke and if you can’t appreciate it, refer to the post on how white people like to get offended.
Is that what you want out of life? Nice things. White people just keep breeding consumers and everything will be o.k. Your kids will steadily become more obese. Keep feeding them and feeding them, your bullshit.
Hilarious. I’ve never understood how an unpaid internship counts as “experience”, but whatever. This piggy-backs onto your whole notion of liberal arts educations being pointless which I don’t agree with, but which I do find funny to read about — keep it up!
Cartoons here: http://spinachflame.wordpress.com/
dude, you make a mildy entertaining blog lame and worthless.
can you go away? or start your own blog somewhere else?
my hamsters are large and happy!
That’s very nice, but what does that have to do with me pooping my pants?
“Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned, forgive, and ye shall be forgiven.”
~Luke 6:37~
Take your grammar correctness and whip the pooper’s ass with it then eat it.
Is that something they do in Canada?
Man, that was a good idea. There is so much racism on the internet. I’m going to name my blog, Totally Racist Comedy. I’m sure I’ll get a book deal in months too.
As you should. When 97% of human genes are the same as the great apes and you argue the difference between humans and their genetic differences; you are talking about nothing. Dumb ass, there isn’t a difference.
You also argue about race, and that is meaningless. Take the example of putting a bunch of red headed, blue eyed, white skinned people (these are all recessive genes making the gene pool void of any other genes which are dominate) on a large island and leave them there for a thousand years. After the thousand years has pasted they will all be red headed, blue eyed, and white. Have you created a new race? Get it. There is no such thing as race. The main reason being that there is no place to draw the line between races; it just doesn’t exist.
I will agree some of us look different than others and that is obvious, but thinking there are different races is older than the Bible and about as useless.
Hi, bottom.
Now that they are big and fat, you can shove them in your other end. Have a nice lunch.
If he does, will you follow him? PLEASE
Since that other guy pooped his pants.
You’re assuming he cares.
i just pooped
i just pooped my pants
ya, no way he could attain a liberal arts degree!
you’re cute
phouck yes, now there’s some white shit, the phoucking Bible being quoted. Go polished the fish on your trunk lid.
yep very funny but for the record I am white and have never done any job where I didn’t get paid for it…but I’m going into business, so there you go.
i’m an atheiest – you dork. it doesnt mean i cant quote something good from the bible. there’s ahandful of lines in there that are worth a shiitte.
what is it about politco campaigns and hooking up? i hooked up huge with a couple of ladies during ’04 too – first on the HDean trail, and the on the kerry campaign.
something about all that energy – good work man!
Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what’s on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we’ve been told and some choose to believe it
I know they’re wrong, wait and see.
Someday we’ll find it, the rainbow connection,
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
What happened to this site? it used to be funny; now it’s just bumbling and sad. “Oh no! Not unpaid internships!” What’s next–a cutting invective on the wrongness of volunteering at public libraries?
I went to school with a lot of people who did glamorous unpaid internships at places like MTV and the US Congress. During the summer, I worked less glamorous “office jobs” that paid well but didn’t give me any contacts. I didn’t have the money–or felt I didn’t, anyway–to live in DC or NY or Boston when i wasn’t making any money. God bless those who did–I hold nothing against them. Looking back on it, I probably would have been better off taking out a loan and interning for the Times or something. The connections, name recognition, etc, would have made it worth it. White people know this. I graduated from college with no real connections, while my other “white” friends jetted off to New York to pick up where they left off.
Bottom line: If you have the means to do such a thing, do it. This unfunny nonsense about what white people would do is bullshit.
When I got out of the slam, I had a low paying gig at a methadone clinic. Man the junkie scum I saw, all fucked up on the nod. But no pay, what kind of asshole would do that? Not a junkie or mexican, only fucking asshole white scumbag hippie fuck. Fuck I wanna hit off that spike.
the old douche bags were rubber with a long hose, Pussy is much more cleaner today.
That makes twice in a short amount of time. You need medication or a big cork.
Go poop your pants, you ridge running jug fucker.
After that we may all have to poop our pants.
Steady boy, slow down, go to some meetings.
This made me sad…but maybe its because I’m incredibly depressed because I’m completely an internship. Mine is paid (if poorly) and the money gets me by (if barely), but its the having to move somewhere for only a few months and live with some annoying old lady with no sense of personal space that gets to me. If I was close to my friends and family and not stuck in someone elses house with their floral Ralph Lauren curtains which they are so proud of and make me want to puke, I would not be anti-internship. As it were, I turned down the internship I landed for after this one….hopefully I find a job. Otherwise, maybe internships are smart after all.
Yes, all of those fantastic connections at MTV and the TIMES. Totally worth taking out a loan.
I really hope this was a sarcastic post.
I have a new thing white people like…www.stuffwhitepeoplelike.com. Nothing better than a white person getting online to have a good laugh at certain things they do that they most likely cannot explain. It makes them feel good about themselves…
White people love college. And wine!
http://scwinos.blogspot.com/
white people seem to like “stuff white people like”. why not do an entry on the site itself? some meta-humor isn’t that how you say it?
I love my profession. I’ve wanted to do this since I was a kid. Sorry.
Ahem! The period needs to be inside the quotation marks.
“There’s genes for cancer, intelligence, weight, mental stability, athletics, ect., but there are no genes for morals or work ethics.”
The fact that you don’t know such genes exist is not proof of non-existence of such genes.
Makes sense?
No one has thought of this one before. Ever. I promise. Not even a few comments earlier.
Kudos on this post. It was particularly poignant for me, having recently finished my own internship at a magazine. Although we did make minimum wage, $7.15/hour is not exactly enough to live in Manhattan.
I work in advertising now.
You sweet thing; you speak and angels sing.
Now folks, Posta is as white as it gets.
White people LOVE looking at buffalo. I was in the Badlands recently and it was unbelievable how many whiteys I saw there checking out those damn things. FYI: I am not white, I am of Italian descent (which is most similar to being Hispanic).
Buffalo This.
Uuuuuuh, that job is called “The Peace Corps”.
can you cork me up , bigaroo?
italians are ORIGINAL WHITES – creators of Empire, Fascism, and destination Art History study-abroad programs. Be Proud!
The Badlands are really cool – especially the buffalo. Too bad us whiteys killed them all off. Oh well, it was bound to happen.
Buffalo’s also poop A LOT!
it’s funny cuz’ it’s true (almost all the posts) 😛
i heart the whites
I had an unpaid “internship” at the parks department BUT that actually kept me from getting a job…
Making license plates where I would have free healthcare, and lodging
An professional artist once offered me a job as his unpaid studio assistant.
I almost agreed, until I figured out he was only interested in how my Brush Strokes
WTF? No, you’re white. Italians can have a darker skin color than other Europeans but they’re still white. You’re just a dumbfuck, that’s what you didn’t mention.
Wtf is this fucking gay ass blog. White people love… WTF?
If I got offered an unpaid internship by some jackass, I’d probably start pissing on their shoes to give them their answer. It’s not white people love unpaid internships, it’s fucking idiots do.
is clander some dumb black bitch?
list of things black people love
watermelon
fried chicken
making blogs about what they think white people
blaming that happened to them “because i’m black”
complaining
slanging drugs on the corners
make all attempts to avoid being educated
covering chairs and couches in plastic
going out of control at church
list goes on
…
oh did that offend some people? oh shit, its not ok for me to say stereotypical, ignorant, and naive things about what black people like because i’m white? Never mind that this shit is exactly the same just with black/white reversed.
Most of that list I gave is going to piss off most of the black people who read it thinking “wtf? that’s all stupid bullshit”… and this site is just the fucking same.
go fucking die clander, you dumb bitch.
how about white people love…
flip flops
moving out west post college
farmers markets
knitting
music festivals
the list goes on….
….
folks should not take themselves or life so seriously.
i love this blog.
and i am as white as white can be….
=)
Lol.
L2Relax.
This blog is most likely kept by white people who are simply slightly more secure.
This post was f’ing boring and ridiculous. I work for an organization that grants GEDs to out-of-school youth (read: mostly poor blacks and latinos), and part of the program requires that they intern a few days a week for local businesses. You and your buddies, who’ve always been presented with plenty of advantages, would probably call it “slavery”; most of these kids look at it as an opportunity to get some much-needed work experience that they’d never come by elsewhere. Should they work at McDonalds instead? Who cares that white kids who flock to the nation’s financial centers each summer. Whoop dee fucking do. This entry just betrays a total lack of knowledge about education and the way the world works. NO ONE makes much money when they’re first starting out in the world.
Go back to writing blogs about sweaters and coffee and recycling. That at least had some charm.
Dear noname,
Sounds like someone needs a hug! 🙂
You forgot making stupid highly sensitive whites such as yourself mad. That is always funny
Not referring to all whites just the ones like you
you are right, white people tend to use weapons on women not other men. i question the logic
Did it hurt when they surgically removed your sense of humor?
You obviously know nothing about Christian Lander, the author.
He’s poking fun at himself and his socio-economic class.
Heh. Good way of looking at it.
brilliant! nice work!
jug fucker – brilliant – kudos!
Dude, I am just joking. I know I’m white. Settle down. People take everything at face value these days.

at least 1/2 of 300 game winners played and got thier 300 wins before blacks could play in the MLB
great non-white picthers are quite prevalent – they’ve won most of the Cy Young awards in the last 10 yrs in the AL. Not too shabby.
My current roomate, a law student in Milwaukee, is making $2800 per week – YES, PER WEEK – at Milwaukee’s biggest law firm. That weekly salary doesn’t include the daily lunches (and dinners) and all the social events.
After 10 weeks this summer he’ll have made roughly 50% of my newly finished college career’s debt. It will probably take me 5 years minimum to accumulate that much and pay off that amount’s worth of debt.
That would be relevant only if the original post were funny.
Not as much as your cliches.
wow he needs to update his blog……this is pathetic
SO TRUE. I wish you had mentioned piercing/tattoo apprenticeship. So many tattoo artists and piercers start off this way
great blog keep it up
All of this is correct. Any people posting on here complaining about ‘stereotypes’ and such bullshit should quiet themselves. That’s all I’ve got to say, really.
sage you’re full of shit shut the fuck up you klu klux klan member, is my comment offensive? well so is this fucking blog…
because most skilled trades aren’t white?
If you want a good idea what my life is like, imagine the song “I Love to Laugh” from Mary Poppins and replace every instance of the word “laugh” with “poop”. Seriously.
http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/marypoppins/ilovetolaugh.htm
I don’t get out very much and am morbidly obese, so basically pooping and anonymous race-baiting are my only social outlets. I need help!
being skilled trade, it is so true, it is hard to walk onto a job and see a white person. there are so many people of color electricians, plumbers, pipefitters, millwrights, sprinklerfitters, tin knockers, etc. it is crazy.
that is called sarcasm, kids. skilled trades are crazy racists. maybe this isn’t the case in NY or something, but in the other 49 states- not so much. i imagine it is more the writer thinks he is clever because he has never really worked a job in his life.
somewhere, like a month ago, this blog got really lame. cute, clever to begin with. but then a book. what a joke. what a sad – unclever – joke. hope your editor goes broke.
Bubba,
I totally agree with you with the unionized skilled trades. non-union skilled trades is mostly men of color, but with unionized it is white men. The craft unions (trades unions) have historically been exclusive towards women, immigrants, and people of color. That’s how it is everywhere, even in New York where I work (in unionized construction). Don’t get me wrong unionized work is imperative in terms of having a living wage, benefits, as well as being able to have a voice in the workplace.
Though for this post, I think it’s important to mention, that this author is thinking of white people from middle or upper classes. Most white men who are in the unionized skilled trades are either from families already working in construction, or the working class, or lower income backgrounds.

“Any white person who takes an internship outside of these industries is either the wrong type of white person or a law student. There are no exceptions.”
Sage: Stereotypical crap. “Reverse racism” at its finest. Racism is racism, even for self-hating, guilt-ridden liberal whites who never had a thing to do with minority opression. Pitiful.
Don’t get me wrong; I enjoy the liberal arts, and I think everybody should be exposed to at least some of them. To be well-rounded, a person ought to know his Robert Browning from his Robert Frost, his Monet from his Van Gogh, and his Chopin From his Strauss; but he should also know how to swing a pick, mop a floor, change a set of spark plugs, season a mess of greens, sharpen a knife, or lay a cinder block wall. I can do all that and more.
My higher education came from Bootstraps University. My background is lower middle-class. I’ve lived in apartments all my life, and never owned a new car. I never took an internship, never went to college; and I worked my way into a job in aerospace, performing tests on structural members of spacecraft as they are built, and I make enough money ($45K-$50K) to pay the bills. And I work for black Quality Assurance supervisors and black engineers. The brie-and-chardonnay crowd bores me, and so do you. No, you don’t even bore me; you just make me tired. Seek help.
As a middle class, young, white journalist who earned her job through an unpaid internship and makes about the same as she did at her college, doesn’t-need-a-degree job, I found this hilarious. Yes, it’s stereotyping, but that’s what made it so funny. Speaking for only myself, it’s totally true. I do feel important when I tell an intern what to do.
OK.
Could you be any whiter?

Only if I was an albino.
HA! So true! I am living it as I write this…
I was just reading some of the comments, and some of the kids are crying about interning for shit money, and trying to live, pay bills. I had a great idea for these poor kids. Use the intern thing, as a chance to case and rob your employer, you gotta earn, thats what I would do, course I also did 20 big ones behind the wall!
no one likes working for free but at least it gets your lazy butt out of the house until you find a real job.
http://www.nodatetonight.com
I like interns! Young supple ones!
I interned at a pet store, and was fired for inserting hamster in my man gina. Some people are just mean and have no taste.
Well lover I’m free and you can work out my butt!
And the comments get stranger and stranger…
Don’t forget the Greenpeace.
This was funny…..
The fuck you earned your job, affirmative action. Corporations are forced to hire broads like you or the hens scream sexism. It’s not a coincidence the quality of the media has dropped dramatically since women got their snouts in the trough.
But it’s true! We didn’t give a shit about Britney and Paris and missing white girl of the week sort of shit 25 years ago. Nobody wants to watch Katie Couric, nobody wants to read Maureen Dowd, except other affirmative action hired women. So you see how the circle works.
And then there is the very common problem of women in the media sleeping with anything that moves; politicians, athletes, editors, publishers. It all comes out when they write their biographies.
Don’t forget student teaching, where you pay thousands in tuition for the pleasures of working for free!
Nobody cares how much money you make, how uneducated you are, what kind of laborer you are, or how little you’ve achieved.
Never heard of ‘tin knockers’… is that some kind of new implant product? sounds interesting.
So is this blog like over because this guy got a book deal? Sounds like Lander is going to write a sequel and get paid rather than post new ones here for the masses to enjoy.

Actually, numbers 103-105 are not in the book, so no, he’s not quitting the website.
clander is a white male.
In the book, one of the articles is self-deprecating humor, which is similar.
this master-list of shibboleths, though still dead-on and damn-funny, has outlived its demystificatory function.
i like pierre bourdieu one whole hell of alot, but we get the habitus now. it could not be any more stark. we know who these 20 and 30 year olds are. we know what they look like. what they eat. we know their domestic decor and professional ambitions. the problem is in the same sad zombie-marxist gesture being made on this website (where those working for the base are virtuous and those working in the superstructure are artsy fartsy jerkoffs), the writers do not have the wherewithal to apply the basic premise of epochal historicism (teleological or otherwise) to the rise and end of this hyper-ironic bohemianism and its market-niches.
these observations will have no relevancy in 10 years. i guess they are funny now, but too often this brand of satire serves as a social confession booth or guilt carwash for the very “class” it lampoons.
stop being so fucking funny already.
Yeah spike up, and go do some free intern shit, or just fucking rob somebody.
LOL this is damn funny. I’ve never understood internships either.
in detroit it is kind of the same, with unionized being almost all white. but most non-union jobs are white too, save carpenters and brickies. but this has something to do with where construction occurs in metro detroit too (i.e. in the suburbs) and segregation, etc.
oh, and tin knocker is a sheet metal worker.
As another one of those peckin’ obnoxious hens, I’m an aspiring journalist who cares very little about Paris Hilton or Missing White Girl Syndrome.
But what the fuck does my opinion matter? I have to go burn my bra and sleep with a few 50-year-old politicians.
Thanks for your insightful remarks. I feel so much more enlightened now.
LIke GivIng BlOod?
I just pooped on a white person’s face.
A thousand times NO!!! Installing plumbing in third-world homes is something that is useful. White people only go overseas to teach people how to be like them.
Exactly. This is another example of a well-adjusted, intelligent, thoughtful White person. Post more often, barnabie_flakes.
Our Summer Internships are now CLOSED 🙂
what is so outrageous about this local restriction? you do realize the argument against 1100 calorie french fries and 1500 calorie double cheeseburgers is the same against smoking: TAX DOLLARS WASTED ON LIFE-SUPPORT FOR UNHEALTHY SHIT-SACKS.
Eating fat and sodium infused foods is almost inevitable for black inner-city dwellers–Washington DC has, proportionately, the most obese children in the country, beating out Houston and Dallas by a fairly wide margin. Do you know which washingtonians are healthy–that’s right, those upwardly mobile, gradschooled go-go staffers.
You dont really see fat people in DC until you go to Wards 5-8.–BLACKTOWN.
Stop talking about “liberty.” “choice,” “agency,” You idiots have not studied enough philosophy to use them properly. 400 years ago some frenchmen, spaniards, and brits started a rumor of the monadic ego, the Founders ran wild with it, but in the 20th century we discovered there is no such thing as the individual, nor choice, nor agency. rather there are interlaced subsystems each having their own propagating codes and blueprints, that produce the epiphenomena of a higher control organism.
So you cant take our burgers away–even if you do–because there is no “our,” “you,” nor “me.”
Now you have a black person. Good job whitey, you can claim your best friend is black.

Umm…humor…humor in the comment and example of Knowing What’s Best For Poor People…you’re missing it and taking things way too serioiusly.
Either that or taking drinking way too seriously.
what was the point of jew-bitch Barbara Walters admitting to an adulterous relationship with a negro?
Why does anyone even pay attention to Walters? I wonder what her real jew surname is?
Ira glass is an inbred yid, take look at his photo….inbred as bad as ben stein.
I didn’t know that Valenzeula was a marrano crypto-jew. interesting.
Some black minor league pitcher went chimpout last week and hurled a ball into the stands and hit a fan who was hospitalized.
I’m sure, just like Vick, that this negro’s behavior can be blamed on poverty and lack of opportunity…yeah right.
Here’s an idea for you: how about you design an artificial male reproductive system that is, uh, fully functional?
Only reason I’m suggesting that is that I lost most of my reproductive system in a bizarre accident involving personal lubricant and a Hoover vacuum that had an unfortunate tenedency to overheat during use.
Shut up, you insensitive pricks!
FYI, I recently donated $250 to the Obama campaign.
White people likes to overstate the obvious, sometimes in their blogs, and they think overstating the obvious is humorous and they should even publish a book about it.
Just finished reading the whole list. I think this blog should aptly be renamed ; “A list of X things to watch out for if you’re white and wish to not look like a self absorbed, self-gratifying douchebag”. I know after reading the whole list I was guilty of a handful of those myself.
It’s sad because it’s so true. It also teaches white people:
1. How to be part of the ‘homeless, staying with friends and family’ category,
2. (or) The importance of moving out of one’s parents’ house,
3. How to make connections in the real world with other white people. Unless one works in some combination of Non-Profit and The Arts. In this case, one is likely to make connections with a great variety of people.
4. Why NOT to complain about being poor, because it’s exhausting having to listen to fellow interns complain about it unjustly.
And also, one of your facts is off:
“If all goes according to plan, an internship will end with an offer of a job that pays $24,000 per year…”
This should state, “a job that pays $16,00 per year and refuses to take you on full time, but keeps you too busy to take on any other job but Dog-Walker”
(also, if you look through the comments, you can tell who the White People are. They get really defensive.)
Read about this blog in my paper this morning, first time I read about it. But, the article made me curious.
What a boring,silly and uninteresting this is. It´s like writing a whole bunch of crap about what totally non-interesting low-class human is doing in his ordinary life; which is very crappy to know or read about to say at least.
It will only proof one thing; people like to read and do totally useless things. Brain-washing would be a better thing to do for all of them.
Get it?
I don’t get it.

One young intern asked me for some career advice. I told her I always wear a thong for good luck and thought she should do the same. I’m always willing to help out the young ladies and marry the older ones. JFK
Katie you maybe an old bag now, but I would still grab your tits.
I think that most people get angry when others group them with a culture that is not their own. The Spanish are not mexican or puerto rican and it is Racist and Rude to call them that.
Everybody is a little bit racist. The problem comes when we refuse to change our attitudes when more information is provided.
LOL
Excellent post. Its nice to see the posts moving away from the stereotypical white race jokes to the cultural “white.”
Facebook, unpaid internships, belong to a different world of white, not just caucasians, but all people who want to sip starbucks, reading Kafka, and feeling superior.
Superiority complexes, common intellectualism, and consumer whoredom, must be the new “white.” We need a new category now that we know that there really isn’t a white or a black.
Keep up the categorizing generalizations!
And I’ll continue to sip coffee (not starbucks, yuck!) read Kafka, check your blog, and try not to feel superior (even though even recognizing that I need to try not to feel superior makes me feel superior, I’m so above racism I know when I do it and endeavor to correct it)
After reading the comments, I retract my earlier statement.
American’s are just as racist as they bitch about other people being to them.
Too bad race is a figment of our imaginations…
Wow! that was awesome! What about science research interns? they pay a little.
I think you make some dead on points, only I wouldn’t say all Americans. I think the racist bitch people are for Bush, and Karl Rove, and may own Haliburton stock, while the beautiful people are with me, and Obama, who I support, I’ve said that. The gun nuts and religious wackos are the wrong kind of American, I would also throw in the beer swilling blue collar crowd, complete scum!
I kinda did a science intern gig in the pen. Yeah the screws feed us LSD, and studied the effects it had on us, and cut our sentences, great fucking country you have here, look it up its true, I heard they did worse to them poor soul brothers.
I currently have an unpaid internship.
I also attend a “Southern Ivy League” school.
I plan to use my liberal arts degree to get into law school.
I see my future in this blog.
Ha this post is hilarious for all the wrong reasons. I’m a religious gun-owner. Sorry if I offended your obviously inflated sense of superiority. But then again, you probably like being offeneded. You are the kind of person that this blog refers to.
Holy madness finally an international student – we need to talk.
my tv production requires 2 internships – which is great and all for exposure etc etc but it sucks the frackin life out of ya. – and then earn lower than everyone else when you finally get that job.
pisses me off whoever started the work for free idea. international students have it worst
Scientific internships pay quite well, at least for a college students; $10-30 bucks per hour. $30/hour internships at some of the worlds leading R&D companies. I love being a Chem major.
Thank you Jake, honestly. Some folks think by not being “redneck-ish” makes them sophisticated.
Much lolz at this post. I did a law degree then decided to go into publishing. unpaid internships galore.
I hate unpaid internships. Why do we have to work for free to make it in this world?
True, true, and how very true! Somewhere in here is the reason (white) people never fail to ask me if I “design, as well as build”, because it’s apparently more prestigious to know a designer than a builder, even though designers are chronically underemployed and likely to ask to sleep on yer couch.
Are the prison folks posting here now? I mean for God sakes you probably work for a living, such a bore. I am a superior guy, and may I add some what elegant. I’ll be summering on the vineyard while you will be slumming, and working, good day Sir.
This guy is out of his mind, this never happened, I think its some kind of suburban legend.
Lol i love the website great article. Can we please please please PLEASE add CROCS to the website? I have never seen anyone but a white person wearing crocs. And boy are these shoes some of the ugliest things i have ever seen in my life. Now they added to their collection by adding high heels to their ugly shoes.
The wrong kind of white people wear CROCS. Real white people wouldn’t be caught dead wearing them. Wearing CROCS in public would be like being seen wearing sweat pants. When you talk about CROCS, you’re talking about Wal-Mart white people, and this blog is about Target white people.
did it take you 100+ posts to figure out that this blog isn’t about white white-people, but a more yuppie shade of white. the guy is making fun of himself and all of us that used to think that we were unique snow-flakes listening to indie rock, or woxy, and wearing blu-blockers and clever t-shirts, having mustaches and beards, and thinking Chuck Klosterman, or Chuck Palahniuk, or Kurt Vonnegut is brilliant, while drinking our coffee – but not starbucks because it’s too mainstream, we’re talking hole in the wall, environmentally friendly coffee place.
Actually we’re kind of on the fence about the gun owning stuff. On one hand, as the good kind of white people we kind of think that guns lead to violence. But on the other hand, we believe in liberty, and gun ownership is in the bill of rights. How can we be mad about domestic wire-tapping if we get mad about the right to bear arms.
For white people everywhere, I’m going to just say that we would rather not talk about gun ownership, out of sight out of mind.
It never amazes me how many people that comment on this blog still can’t identify what satire is.
I just love this blog! Check out http://www.therichjerkchick.com
I hate Crocs too but when I was working at Disney World (not an internship this last time) we sold Crocs with the sweat holes in the shape of Mickey heads. Oh yes, every race and creed were wearin’ the Crocs at $40 a pop! That’s crazy for 2 nasty pieces of rubber/foam to go on your sweaty feet! They were the biggest selling item ever. I was saddened by that fact. 😦
This is something I’d posted on my own blog:
Female whites’ career plans – Why do all white girls United States say ‘I want to be a teacher and help kids with special needs’, when asked about career plans? Most gals in school and college have this same answer, like it’s the correct thing to say.
Seems like such a canned response, and I’ve heard it ever so often in the past decade. Right from when I was teaching undergrads at SU, through last month in SF. It’s always about working with kids or special needs children everytime. I don’t recall anyone saying ‘I wanna be a physician/architect/researcher’.
Wow, I started a thread.
Guns: have nothing to do with the “wrong kind of white people” if you feel like you need a gun, own one. If you want to shoot cans in your back yard, who am I to say that you still can’t enjoy a good Kafka-chai-latte.
I am the kind of white person this blog refers to (except I’m poor, after too many unpaid internships, too much education, and too strong a desire to work for nonprofits and not buy into the consumer whoredom that my kind of white people enjoy so much)… but I’m not white, put that in your pipe and smoke it.
And Seriously? you’re right, but if you read any of these comments you’ll realize that while author of stuff white people like isn’t really referring to race, readers are. And it’s what the consumer thinks that really matters.
Is that what you just did?
Like your a teacher. Like you hang out with teachers. Like, like a lot.
Word. So true.
can we add blogging to the list?
the opposite of serious is flippant.
you are asking me to be more flippant.
do you know what socioeconomic group is invariably flippant?
the petit-bourgeois.
why are they so?
because they have overcome all serious stakes in life.
so all their pursuits and curiosities are whimsical.
their stakes are flippant.
OUTSIDE of this false normalcy are people who are still terrorized by abject poverty and agonizing, premature death.
they take things “seriously,” especially humor.
that is why the working class memorizes jokes, and the rich make witty off-hand observations.
serious/flippant.
Yeah, white people love doing things for free, being able to say that they’re doing something for reasons other than money.
Yeah, I think blogging should be on the list, but it might expose this blog’s own whiteness.
#107 – Writing about white people on a blog
OMG i feel like a guinea pig that just realized those out of body experiences were actually induced through experimentation.
In normal words, i was that intern!! Except insert volleyball instead of softball. And here i thought i had the opportunity of a lifetime……
hilarious! Just found this site today and am getting a good laugh out of it. Its good to be able to laugh at yourself- it reminds me how silly life really is.
THen what do you consider I-Banking Internships where I made 10K in two months…and 150K for my annual salary once hired?
Never forget the sense of suffering that white people relish in while realizing that they are “sticking it out for the big payoff someday” when there really is no payoff. Other than talking about the job that they love as if it were a chore.
I nominate Michelle Obama as an “Honorary White People” She has so many points from your list going for her! For example, here is a quote from her:
“Don’t go into corporate America. You know, become teachers. Work for the community. Be social workers. Be a nurse. Those are the careers that we need, and we’re encouraging our young people to do that…”
Eat my anus, Amos.
Eat my pole.
My long lost brother, where have you been?
I have never done a days work in the private sector. Why would any sane person? I think all the young folks, mostly the ladies should do public service, I am will to write letters on behalf of any sexy young girls. E-mail me at lurch@duchebag.orgie
Unpaid interns are needed here to help expose the problems in our schools:
http://detentionslip.org
Its okay guys, I’m in the process of firing as many nonwhite employees as I can and hiring incompetents in their place. The system works.
I once interned at a fashion house. I sent Christmas cards to clients. I now work at the post office.
Unpaid internships are like taking it in the ass. Anyway, if you are applying for a job and wanna read about a blog discussing a certain interview scam you may run into check out blog number 13 at http://www.garbarrassing.com .
So Jesus works at the post office. That right there is satire. Last I heard he was shoveling horse apples somewhere in Kentucky.
I feel bad for Goldman Man…despite overpaying for an MBA, then slaving for an Ibank to pay off the MBA and now facing unemployment due to something they call a ‘credit crisis’, he still doesn’t know what ‘unpaid’ means. So sad…
Ironically, I was studying abroad in Lebanon, looking for an unpaid internship when this was written..
You know what else white people like? Promoting our blogs: http://www.levantinesummer.blogspot.com
White people do like promoting their blogs!!!!! By the way if you wanna check out a news article about the stupidest employees (who wokr for burger king) in the universe, go to http://www.garbarrassing.com and check out the garbarrassment of the day. These people are soooo dumb.
What about if you’re an ecology major working as a salaried (plus benefits) co-op for the Army Corps of Engineers…I’m disappointed, because up to this point, I have been so very white!
Dudes…
I thought that I had snagged a paid internship with an architecture firm (kind of an artsy one, though), but the economy went to shit and they couldn’t pay me. I declined to work for free, but for a while, wondered if that was the best idea; I was having trouble even getting interviews, and was about to begin applying to Panera or something equally vapid (bills, you know?). I was depressed so I quit job-searching and went surfing. I was in the lineup next to this older guy on a longboard and we started chatting about “the environment and stuff” (chew on this: I’m a Forest and Soil Ecology and studio art double-major…white?), and as we’re both about to get out of the water, he tells me to come on down to his office at the US Army Corps of Engineers “to talk,” but I should bring my CV. Three weeks later, he offered me a job working on the Everglades Restoration Plan with a good salary, benefits, and the opportunity to have grad school paid for completely. Moral of the story?
Fuck your resume. Surf hard.
The person putting up these satirical post is white. Can’t blame *this* on black people, but judging from the comments posted ,you sound like just the type of white person quick to blame blacks for all white people’s problems.Cristian Lander is a white guy taking note of things whites do.So if you got a problem-take this up with him.
i hate unpaid internships … but then again, I’m not white.
Unpaid interships are the worst!! You are the office bitch and then you don’t even get paid for all ur hard work. You may as well just try and prove that bigfoot exists. Some guy apparently did that. Check out this news article at http://www.garbarrassing.com (click on the garbarrassment of the day, august 15, near the top of the page) to see what this guy did to prove big foot exists. It’s hilarious
I completely agree. I have worked in two printing factories before going to college and I get similar reactions. I especially hate it because my father’s life profession has been as a printer (so don’t even get me on the subject of “illegal immigrants take the jobs Americans will not do”. Argh, rich white propaganda).
Of course, this is coming from someone who is currently doing a low-pay internship in the museum field! (Hence I found this post particularly funny). I do wish I could rely on my parents to fund my way. But no. I still have to work my three part-time jobs to make up for it. Oh the joys of being white and poor.
Unpaid internship, the only thing I refused to do in college!
Unpaid…ummmm NO!
White people LOVE Money…(and using capitalization)

Are unpaid internships worth it? Read the reviews http://www.rateinternships.com/
the only thing white people love more than the unpaid internship is complaining about having an unpaid internship….talking about how they work the hardest and having to make coffee, yet an intern is never forced to be there. hey, if interns dont rock up for the day no-one really notices untill they want a cup of coffee. thus, the love of the unpaid internship stems from a desire to complain and feel poor, as the disenfranchised middle class white person who is so sad about never experiencing pain and suffering in there life so often desires. this is also a result of a void of cultural heritage which has been lost in the mist of european cros cultural expantions, globalisation, and the incredible weight of inherited white guilt. in short welcome to the cultureless culture, the self deprocation party.
You’re 100% spot on Pete, I would add that young unpaid intern type white girls are easy prey.

I wish this didn’t describe me. Though I had an unpaid internship that didn’t turn into a job. BS office temp jobs followed and I just left a nonprofit political organizing position I was working at. I’m looking at other positions in politics at non profits. I’ve though about going into film or journalism. The other day I was looking at a director’s assistant position at the local art museum. My god what is wrong with me? I have mounting student loan debts. Why don’t I just learn a trade that would actually pay my bills? I can’t afford law school. Help!!!

I am white and fucking hate not getting paid to work
Fuck unpaid internships.
You wanna read about something hilarious? This white kid I know moved to Vietnam without a job and barely any money. He is blogging about his experiences there and its hilarious. Read them here: http://www.garbarrassing.com/Bill.php
My internship pays nothing but it does teach valuable skills and looks really good on my resume since my boss is well known in the fashion industry. I am hoping it leads to a full time ass pummeling on the part of my slave labor driving boss whose desk I will take a dump on each Monday morning before he arrives in the office. Or, I could throw vomit bombs at him from the office rooftop as he enters the lobby.
why is this guy keep giving a link to a white kid that went to vietnam?
weird
you are exactly the type of white person this author is addressing! Congrats! You just don’t get it. Worry not, young unpaid intern. You never will. As to the cries for attention with profuse use of illicit phrases and words, step away from the computer and find a real person with which to talk about your ridiculously privileged life.
Damn… Im not even white and i have to do this!!
I don’t care enough to find out. I just kinda wish he’d stop.
SCREW THAT!
I’m not working for free!

While Stuff White People Like contributes on a massive scale to our invisibilization (really, it’s like the hipster flipside of Sarah Palin), I’m introducing a new blog called Bitter White Folks for Obama to explode this zero-sum game. My family were part of the 41 million who migrated from the Appalachian/Southern region to the Midwestern states in the postwar period: precisely the demographic from which support for Obama (and progressive politics as such) is supposed to be non-existent. But it was the economic policies of Reagan and the Clinton and Bush dynasties that produced such atrocities as the 2,200 square miles of strip-mining in Appalachia that have put thousands out of work, reduced the average income to the level of Mexico and forced migration to the North in search of jobs. So I actually completely agree with Obama’s sentiment: of course Appalachian and Midwestern communities are “bitter” – and it cannot be denied that more than a few have been mislead into believing that these elites somehow hear their voices. With the increasingly patronizing tone of the Republicans however (which Stuff White People Like only solidifies), many are rapidly becoming unconvinced – at least Obama speaks about the situation as it really is: as he put it in that same speech, “you can go into the toughest neighborhoods, you know working-class lunch-pail folks, you’ll find Obama enthusiasts. And you can go into places where you think I’d be very strong and people will just be skeptical”. For more, check out my blog at http://bitterwhitefolksforobama.blogspot.com
but at least his mouse pad is working overtime as he attempts to insert some version of relevent or semi-related comment prior to pitching the viet advert. HEY HEY–Maybe he is the kid who is in Nam’s unpaid intern!!
unpaid interns are okay-but, cash is not a bad thing. at some point, life is no longer a dress rehersal-stop getting ready for the next big thing-start adulthood!!!!– so—take your last few dollars and buy-How Starbucks Saved My Life: A Son of Privilege Learns to Live Like Everyone Else by Michael Gates Gill-and live out the book-make a latte, wear an apron, cash a paycheck. Then, start paying off your stu loans. Once you can breathe, go be the art museum director or whatever, keep paying your bills, and, if law school happens it happens.
He’s advertising so much that my white mind believes that he’s the unemployed guy in Vietnam. Please stop it.
Unpaid internships are evil. That’s why I took a paying job.
Only idiotic hipsters can be unpaid and still pay rent some how. How do they do it?

My friend is in Vietnam, he is white, and TRUST ME, he doesn’t like unpaid internships. He went to Vietnam with little money and no job and has been blogging about his experiences there. His blog is hilarious and he just added a new post today. Check it out:
http://www.garbarrassing.com/Bill.php
you’re doing it wrong.
You are hereby banned from posting on this blog. Any further activity from your IP address will result in a lawsuit. Thank you for your compliance.
Hilarious.
That must be why I never got a job in my chosen field — because I’m supposedly white (visibly anyway… genetically, it’s anyone’s guess) and have always absolutely refused to do an unpaid internship. I hardly ever have made enough money in my paid jobs to get by, so why the heck would I choose that route? When people tell me they are doing unpaid internships, I tell them to their face that they’re insane.
If someone were to tell me to take an unpaid internship, I’d remind them of the time I went to court to beg the judge for jail time over the $80 no-inspection ticket I got, since I had to choose between the ticket and having a place to live, and then about how, when the judge laughed at me, I had to beg everyone I knew for some money so I could somehow get enough to keep the fine from doubling… then I’d ask them to look me in the eye and tell me I should work for free again. If they had the cojones to do it, I’d tell them I’d do it if they gave me some health insurance.
If they said no, I’d tell them to kiss my white butt and walk away.
I might be missing the point here, but shouldn’t this entire blog be renamed ‘What Middle Class People Like”?
As a (probably) middle class white Englishman, I certainly tick a lot of boxes mentioned here (playing children’s games, Wes Anderson Films, having an unusual bicycle, Apple products).
In Britain, most of the things listed here would be what distinguishes a person from Working Class people, not black or Asian people.
I find the comment in this entry that no white person would ever dream of training to be a plumber very odd. Surely there are white plumbers in the USA?
Wow. I am currently on my third unpaid internship. You really have white people down.
Scoring the ultimate unpaid internship just got a bit more difficult – http://is.gd/2El0.
¿Come to think of it, doesn’t the Peace Corps deserve it’s own SWPL category? I mean, how often do folks stick with two-year unpaid internships without even an break for a costly trip home for Thanksgiving?
Mine was paid. My edumacation was not.
Damn! What are you, a trust fund baby? Put your energy into getting a real job! lol
How come when it’s the white people working for free it’s called an internship, but if it is a colored person, it is called slavery?!? Always trying to keep the white man down… I demand my reparations!!!!!
In fact the vast majority of trades people in the USA are white, probably far out of proportion of their representation in the general population, though hispanics are making headway in this industry. Part of the reason is that people like to choose an apprentice from within their own extended social circle (which usually means their own race as well) to train as an apprentice.
Incidentally, I myself am white and am training as a structural apprentice and have never had an unpaid internship.
I honestly don’t get this. I paid for an education….I didn’t pay to work. If you got a good education, you should be able to find some in the area that’s paid.
well the idea is, yea youre working for free, but youre also building your resume. everytime theres an internship fair at my college, there are a whole bunch of unpaid ones but everybody still compete to get them thinking that theyll be more likely to work for that company and/or it looks good on their resume for other employers.
The one thing white people like more than Unpaid Internships is learning sex secrets 😉
http://sexed.wordpress.com
See what everyone’s talking about!
Yes, but see, you’re the “wrong kind” of white person.
An Apple Product? I’m down!
You know what white people love? Having blogs promoted to them! So keep it up!
There are worse things than unpaid internships..the kind where you have to pay THEM to work. When I got my commercial pilot license in the 90’s, the only kind of job I could find was the kind where they mentioned, “oh, by the way, there is going to be training costs while we train you to be a air taxi/banner tower/skydiving/traffic report pilot” I don’t know how common it is in this decade though.
These are ridiculous… it’s not like it’s community service… thank god I majored in a science.
Well, yeah, but “Stuff white middle class liberal, primarily North American (and I don’t mean Mexico) and to a lesser extent West European people like” just doesn’t have the same ring to it
I’d take an unpaid job… if they have unpaid stores on hand as well, and unpaid appartments. Of course that’s Comminism which is, as we all know, impossible…
P.S.
“you earned it.” Haha! That’s gold ^__^
I’m offering an internship as my personal chef. There is also an internship open for a maid, and someone to pay the bills. I will not supply the money for said bills, but the payer can take out a student loan to cover it put the experience on his/her resume. I will give college credit for all of the internships listed above, but they are only good towards a degree at Starcasm University.
i am not ‘white’ and i have an unpaid internship.
and i don’t really like this blog either, but here i am.
i guess I’m too tired from my unpaid internship to actually complain about this.
good night.
I’m lovin’ this $#!%. I can’t stop laughing!!!
BTW, I’m not white…LMFAO!!!
Um, this is kind of fun, but…
I checked the List carefully and couldn’t find any of the following items. Without these addenda, the list looks suspicously like “Stuff White Liberals Like That Make White Conservatives Feel Uncool.”
Here’s “Stuff the Other Half of White America Likes”:
1. Camo.
2. Furtively giving the IHOP a quick “demographic scan” before telling that joke.
3. Neighborhoods with no sidewalks.
4. A left-turn light in front of the SuperCentre.
5. Bumper stickers
…(oh, that’s already on the list, but the entry doesn’t include “Poor = Lazy” or “Drill Here, Drill Now” or “America Bless God”)
6. 50-mile commutes
7. Home-schooling in a good school district.
8. Israel (but not the actual Jews there!)
9. Hot sauce collections
10. Stockpiling canned food, in case the pre-millinnealists are right, not the post-millinnealists….wait, let me go check my Hal Lindsey library.
11. Pregnant white teenagers (not the other kind of pregnant teenager)
12. African immigrants (if they follow the right religion) as examples of industriousness and modesty.
13. Federal funding—from another region’s tax base.
14. Shopping centers that are less than 3 years old.
15. One-piece underwear (in Utah, mostly)
16. Gear that requires custom trailers
17. Trampolines
18. Race (not that kind, I’m talking about the Kentucky Derby, Daytona 500, etc)
19. Rude staring.
20. Pronouncing “One nation under God” as “One nationunder God”
21. Hockey
22. Softball
23. The Celtics (the team and borrowed Scottish pride)
24. Cherry-picking MLK quotes about hard work
I’m guilty of this one, as I am an ex-Congressional Intern
Hah, guilty of wanting to be a journalist, and I usually write for free.
Thomas, sadly, Dan is right. I became the “wrong kind” of white person myself when I passed up an unpaid internship in Washington to temp for a mutual fund company. It’s been downhill ever since – private sector job, church, suburbs…a real sob story. *sniff*
It’s somewhat related, but I think a post should be done for freelance photography.
This internship thing – it’s like an American middle-class white thing, right? Thank God! I was getting kind of worried there. As a ‘whiter shade of pale’ working class Brit I guess I’m exempt from that. In fact, I’m officially as nutty as a fruitcake so I don’t work at all. Raises glass of diet coke to the British welfare state!
This was actually sort of entertaining. It could have been funnier if it was more consistent with the artistic thing and didn’t unconsciously raise up the issue of future career opportunities or respectability of work.
On another note, this WEBSITE would be less offensive AND funnier if it wasn’t RACIST. Don’t write me off as an offended white person either. I’m Chinese. This type of website is satire, so I’ll recommend the people reading this response to not one but TWO better websites.
http://www.heelpress.com/
This one is more varied and in addition to writings includes photographs and artistic pieces. The writings are also much more funny and intelligent without being offensive, besides the self deprecating sort.
http://www.everything2.com
This one is my personal favorite. It features creative articles of almost any variety; satire, fictional, poetic, experimental.
I was just thinking about this one. It’s true that usually when people work for no money it’s called “slavery”, so why are these unpaid internships still legal? I don’t really care if a bunch of people are stupid enough to take a job for no pay, but what about all the people who might actually want to do it, but can’t afford to spend a summer making no money? Also, it’s not like our minimum wage is very high, and we all learned in civics class (or our first jobs) that it’s ILLEGAL to pay workers less than that. So why are there still all these people working for free? Thoughts?
(I guess I’m not the type of white person you’re talking about.)
While taking an unpaid internship may be unwise, it certainly doesn’t qualify as slavery. Slavery is the confiscation one’s labor by force. An unpaid internship is chosen.
omg.. lol thats what i’m doing right now for college credit. I work 4 hours 5 days a week..and im very enthusastic about it. one thing though… i’m black.. lol
I dread having to do internship. Even though it’s a choice, it is kind of a necessity to get your foot in the door. I am studying speech/language pathology and my internship will probably be within the school districts. With that being said, I am more than likely guaranteed a job within that school district after finishing the internship. Then the school district pays for a certain amount of credits towards any higher degree I would be earning. And for salary, with a masters I would be earning 60-80 grand a year…with a doctorates it’d be more like 80-100 grand.
And I am not your typical white girl, either! I made my fair share of education related mistakes and barely passed high school. I bounced back and forth from living places and ended up with a 0.09 GPA because I was not educated on the difference between “withdraw” and “fail”. I worked my butt off and now I live with my boyfriend and currently stand w/ a 2.0 GPA. So the generalization is pretty accurate, but there’s always deviations from the norm in any case.
Oh and let me add that I have a coworker who is currently obtaining her masters in child psychology. She goes to school at night, interns from 8-3 Monday-Friday and works the weekends. Thankfully she lives with family so she doesn’t need to pay rent, but what happens to people (like me) who still have to pay their rent, work and go to school? It doesn’t make any sense to me.
Psh, intern nothing. I got paid!
Me too. Otherwise I would have said hell no
What happens is you don’t get what the children of the wealthy do. You’re left out. Places like NY, LA, and DC are packed with unpaid interns, whose parents bankroll them. Stinks, huh?
Her point is that it’s undercutting people who would want to take the position but can’t afford to work for free. It’s the same thing people complain about illegal immigrants doing, only in the case of internships, it’s jobs that people actually WANT to do, not jobs that most Americans feel are beneath them
Checked out the site. Definately something white people would like. Unfortunately, I am not near a starbucks as that would be the only enviroment fitting for such an artsy-crap website..
The difference between unpaid internships and slavery is that the unpaid intern CHOSE the internship, and thinks that he/she is getting something out of it in the long run. Slavery was not a choice and slaves did not benefit from their hard labor.
This is part of the irony or guilt of privilege that white people have.
…i’m fifteen.
i spend at least 2.5 hours a day after school at an unpaid internship at my local theatre company.
it used to be an apprenticeship until they figured out that that would mean that we would get paid.
this article expresses my life, somewhat….I GUESS I’M REALLY WHITE!
Only the artsy writery political non profit dogooders sign up for slavery… the corporateers sign up for prostitution– paid slavery!
Someone with a 2.0 gpa shouldnt even be allowed to work in their chosen field, let alone to obtain a doctorate. “Experts” are supposed to have actually learned something during their education.
Most PhD. programs will not let you drop below a B, so if she can pull it off, more power to her.
There, from what I understand, is a provision in the Labour Law which allows for this because the job only last for a certain time period. I found this out the hard way when I spent a summer working at Ceder Point, and could not make over time, which was required. I contacted my Uncle about a law suit, and he explained this to me. So as usual Corp America will always find a way to screw you over. But I learned from this, and when I applied for my first job, it was bare knuckle negotiations. The fact I was ballsy enough to negotiate is what got me the job, and I got to spend the next 10yrs abusing interns.
Leave us starving, not all, freelancers out of this. You get to travel the World on someone else dime, and some pay to boot.
Where does the UN fall into this? They have plenty of internships, and not all of them go to white people. How could they, it is the UN afterall. Of course none of them are paid, but some do offer “stipends”, which for me seems a little too close to the word stupid.
It’s not just white “Americans” that are into the internship, but a lot of European countries are down with the practice. Many university degrees require some practical work, though I’m sure they get paid for it. I saidly however don’t.
My husband is a white engineer w/Ph’D. Sorry, but engineers aren’t white anymore!!!
You’d be surprised at how much fun you could have in DC on $600 p/month before rent in 1996 if you’re creative with great other poor intern friends.
I assume you read this but…
poop
This totally made me laugh. And made the internship search process a little more amusing….:)
Dear White guy
This post cemented your status as master blogger in my mind.
So funny and yet so true!
Makes me really look forward to my intership this summer..!
As a current (unpaid) intern in Washington, DC, I had to laugh at this. Because it’s so true.
However, I wouldn’t give up the good times, the learning experiences, and the pee-on status for anything.
I’m black, but I also had an unpaid internship in DC and I completely agree. the work is the same whether ur being paid or not.
Yes, this issue is by far something I have been talking about and pondering over for a good amount of time. My friend introduced me to this blog just yesterday, and I have to say that your views on current day society are definitely not far fetched or obscure. In all, what was up with those TEAL guys? What a bunch of Jerks, some people have too much time on their hands.
The best part is that for many non-profit or social service type jobs it is practically required that you intern/volunteer for the organization you want to work for. I think this is hilarious because most poor people (including myself) are spending so much time working to get by they can’t just go volunteer somewhere since their parents won’t/can’t pay there rent. This means that all those organizations that are out there to help poor people have measures in place that make it so poor people can’t get jobs with them in order to help themselves or their communities. This creates a culture of assimilation because the middle upper class white people are still sitting in their throne rooms telling all the rest of us how to live our lives and how they are going to help us live our lives better instead of giving us the resources to do it ourselves.
I like this author. He criticizes white people for trying to get high paying jobs, he criticizes them for trying to get low paying jobs and also criticizes them for being hypocritical. Man, it seems like he has an awesome chip on his shoulder or something.
apparently this writer hasn’t seen the movie “The Pursuit of Happiness” with Will Smith based on the real black man that was at an unpaid internship for a large brokerage

apparently you do not realize that this website is “satire” based on stereotypes designed make you laugh.
Dave was too polite to mention that makes you a total retard.
“In fact, the only way to get the white person to choose the plumbing option would be to convince them that it was leading towards an end-of-summer pipe art installation.”
Now that was funny.
I laughed at #105 then laughed against after reading Ross’s comment on November 29, 2008.
Smart guy was actually taking this all seriously.
Must not be white.

FYI “Pursuit of Happiness” was about a black intern.
So your point is double genius.
ROFLSKATES!

FYI “Pursuit of Happiness” was about a black dude interning.
So your point is double genius.
ROFLSKATES!
I’m not too polite to mention you’re a creep.
It’s still racist.
White people can’t make fun of Black people without millions of others shoving racism down THEIR throats…
does working for class credit count? I need A’s more than money 😦
Shannon, you’re wrong. I make fun of black people all the time. I’m not racist. I’m just an asshole. There’s a difference.
I like you.
ross, shut the fuck up. you watch too many goddamn movies.
but why do you complain – the more white people work on unpaid works – the more paid works are left for those who need to earn money 🙂
God all you guys are idiots. It honestly saddens me to see you pathetic people claiming that these posts are racists.
They’re funny and they’re true for the most part.
The blog is written by a WHITE GUY so stfu.
and if a black guy wrote this it wouldn’t be racist
who are you people
you overly sensitive politically correct bitches.
mass generalizations are humorous you guys need to stop being so sensitive.
I’m black and when a white person makes a white joke i laugh why because its funny. I love white people too though
honestly you guys should do yourselves a favor and commit suicide and rid the gene pool of your stupidity
fuck you
Word
This is a ridiculous set of statements.
I worked at a lobbying firm and a non-profit (simultaneously like all over achieving white girls do) for $0 all summer in Washington D.C.
Because of that “unpaid slave labor” us white folks love to do I got to put that on my resume.
Now, I work at a German investment bank making 3x what my counterparts made at the lobbying firm and the nonprofit.
I’d like to see your reasoning for that..
Watch yourself, spook. Don’t go talking about things your prmitive mind can’t begin to fathom.
Wait, I thought white people were supposed to be the personification of evil and greed! I’m confused now, this is a contradiction of that generalization.
What happens when two stereotypes contradict one another? Does that mean that neither can be true? I guess that would make the person black.
I’d like to see your reasoning for why you can’t take a joke.
White guy writes this…duh dumb-ass !!!!!
It’s funny because white people are awkward.
White people like to use blogs like this one to show off how much money they make, while pretending not to “get it.”
“It’s funny because it’s true” – Homer Simpson
Aww, I’m applying for an internship at an art museum as we speak. Hahaha, and…I’ve also have done an unpaid internship at an art gallery AND at an ESL class for Spanish-speaking adults (to aid in my goal of learning another language). I love it…so white
I opened up a valet parking business in college and had a bunch of high schoolers work for me. non-paid internships are for suckers.
sorry if I work I get paid
I intern in a cardiac rehab facility. I can’t graduate in May without doing it. I even had to pay tuition because it’s considered 6 credit hours. I get to work with 80 year olds that had bypasses and heart attacks. It’s actually really fun…unpaid…but fun
You earned it! HAHA!
I remember my hell from last summer! My boss was tiny but with full-blown bitch consuming her. It was worse than hell, because the place was small and squeezed. The number of times I fell asleep on my desk, is a true testimony of what a complete and utter waste of my time, it was. I should have stayed at home or volunteered to breastfeed an orphaned bunny or something.
Arghh!
But you are getting college credits for it… you missed the point.
had a real bad unpaid internship….like rrrreeal bad? review it at ultimateintern.com and have chance to win an ipod touch.
Dude, have you even looked at Comedy Central? Or anyplace else? You’ll find plenty of comedy targeting that particular group of people.
Besides, boughouis (sp) bohemians of all colors are a neglected group, comedy-wise.
even these employers realize the unpaid internships are just a fancy way to save money on work none of the paid employees want to do .
it’s why they don’t hire you after the internship is over.
If you’re going to reference a movie, do it correctly! It’s spelled Pursuit of Happyness 😛
–Directed to Ross, not Lorenzo.. lol, my bad!
The thing that makes unpaid internships a more upper middle class white or black thing is that you have to have money to do them.
When I was in college I had interships but they were all paid my university rarely promoted unpaid interships. Although many of them are great opportunities low income people do not have them means to not work for an entire summer. I work in non-profits now but I started out volunteering in the evenings and on weekends to get into the field.
Honestly an unpaid internship never crossed my mind because my single parent could not support me while I went and worked for a non-profit or politician in New York City or DC.
Also I think the unpaid internship is like the street cred for upper middle class people. It is the their struggle story. I grew up poor that is my story and now I am not, but if you grew up priveleged or well off you have to have something to put in your bio or awards acceptance speech or memoirs. These people can say I remember when I was making photocopies for the senator and now I am a senator myself with someone making copies for me. Its a great story.
I am black and think this is the funniest website ever. For those who think this is a racist site do not act like you don’t laugh when black comedians make fun of other black people. Come on now admit it. I am black and some of these things even apply to me. But for those who are soooo sensitive about being picked on by your own kind go to Things Educated Black People like and laugh at educated black people like myself it will make you feel better… promise.
I love this site!
I just applied for an unpaid internship at NPR. I’m not even white. That’s 2 hits for me..unpaid internships and public radio, LOL

Dude, how many times are you going to post this before a cop calls you up and asks for a fat sack delivered to the 9th precinct? I give you two weeks before your ass is in the slammer. Email and phone number? It’s all about being dumb.
So can I get a BJ or do you just do nude massage?
OK the most unfair thing about the internships is that they are often more important than your college grades, but to get the good ones you need to know somebody.
I attend a predominately white graduate school. I have noticed that my classmates, professors, and friends LOVE to brag about their UNPAID internships.
I don’t know, the idea of working for free kind of reminds me of slavery for some reason. I find it puzzling, why anyone would delight in working without pay?
I have never had an internship (and I don’t ever want one) but if I was an internship type of person, I would make sure that I received a paycheck.
I always wondered how young white kids “working” at the MoCA in Los Angeles got away with wearing converse sneakers, purple jeans and vintage t-shirts with holes in them (hipster attire) and still managed to sport an 80G iPod. They were unpaid interns who liked unpaid internships!
I just finished working 7 months at my local community access channel for free. I’m now getting paid $ 10 an hour to do the exact same thing I did before, with the added bonus of feeling superior to the other unpaid interns. WOO! Feels good to be white.
Had an internship where I was paid $2 an hour. Boss yelled at me in public one day to say I should be grateful to him if he only paid me $1 an hour. During this time some delivery guys were watching wondering what the heck was the matter with the guy. I’m not white and yes I was also insulted. Unpaid internships are lousy. Lame pay and crappy bosses are even worse.
another name for unpaid internships?
U-S-E-D.
here was i thinking that people did internships because they can’t get a paid job in the sector without doing one … bizarrely, doing a paid plumber internship doesn’t seem to impress employers in politics or charity …
I had to quit my job where I actually made decent money to dedicate my time to my unpaid internship for a non-profit organization. I’m such a lucky white person!
Not quite, it’s more of a class based phenomenon, and affluent black and brown, as well as white young Americans jump eagerly for these unpaid internships. Interestingly enough, these same affluent black, brown and white Americans espouse the lies about “jobs Americans won’t do”, referring to the formerly well paid jobs, less affluent citizens used to be able to lift themselves up out of poverty with, purely because they couldn’t imagine soiling their soft, uncalloused hands, by engaging in them. They don’t know any working poor or lower middle class citizens, and don’t care to. They only know that the bigger the corporate profits that mommy and daddy earn, the bigger the trust funds and allowances they receive, so rationalizing the status quo that is no different than that which supported the slavery they might purport to be offended by, is crucial.. they just need to censor their less affluent fellow citizens, by means of ritual defamation, thus the crocodile tears about cheaper foreign labor wanting a, “better quality of life”, and evil working poor and lower middle class citizens being “racist” and “xenophobic”, despite the fact that those less affluent citizens are speaking out in defense of their need to work to support themselves and survive, and the fact that many of those citizens speaking out happen to be black or brown, as well as white.
Frankly, no one can claim to care about “basic human rights”, when they are denying the civil rights of less affluent citizens, including the basic human rights, they try to hide their greed, corruption and hypocrisies behind.
So, it’s not stupid white people, it’s stupid and corrupt, affluent black, brown and white people, and their stupid, corrupt, affluent black, brown and white parents, as well as their stupid, corrupt, affluent black, brown and white politicians, and stupid, corrupt, affluent, black, brown and white media talking heads, and so on…
Props, you’re completely right. On so many levels.
I’m pretty sure this has more to do with the fact that Americans are becoming increasingly concerned with career success and will do anything to get there.
Someone didn’t get their UBS summer internship…
You sound like you are one of the black/brown people….lots of anger there….anyone can have the resolve to better themselves; regardless of position; it takes brain power and using the brain power to get ahead and the fortitude to recognize that it’s up to you, no one else. Until people realize that opportunities are made by oneself, and not given out at birth or by a government, then the cycle will continue.
This website is great…
Here’s another hilarious website you should take a look at: http://www.somethingyoushouldread.com
I drive a green Prius with an Obama bumper sticker and, over this past summer, I worked for J. Crew. The summer before that I worked at a Starbucks in NYC to make spending money during my unpaid internship at a magazine company. This upcoming summer I have another unpaid internship at a law firm. Currently, I attend an Ivy League University and am majoring in a liberal arts (English). My parents’ cars both have bumper stickers that say, “Proud Parent of a ___ High School Honor Roll Student” because I am their gifted child. My family votes democrat and lives in a suburb of Manhattan. I don’t own an iPod, but I have a Creative that’s filled with Mos Def, Wu-Tang Clan, Bob Marley, The Beatles, Mahler, Berlioz, and tons of other classical artists.
Yeah, except my dad is Hispanic and my mom is asian.
Man, I love this website because by these standards I am 90% white, aiight? (I say, using a hip-hop blackcent ironically)
this site….cracks…me…up.

lol this is funny. I never saw unpaid internships in this kind of way. “Paying your employer to employ you”
LoL, Dang this is funny. haha, I gotta tell my friends about this site.
Always get paid! It’s the American way to do things!

You of course realize that by searching for all of tIY’s comments, and posting homoerotic additions in his name, you are actually validating his positions. You are threatened because what he says makes sense.
While I wish tIY’s comments weren’t quite so sharp, he provides a useful counterpoint to the more subtle satire provided by this blog.
I read this site for the comments. Not the posts themselves.
Human genes are also 94% identical to those of a banana. Don’t get too hopped up by a percentage number in the nineties.
You say that you and your counterparts made $0 at the lobbying firm and nonprofit. Now you say you make 3x what you and your colleagues used to make. 3 * 0 = 0. That would be my reasoning.
oh i love me some unpaid internships and i’m white.. it shows potential employers that i’m not totally greedy.. and that i’m a hard worker.. yeah white people rule
i love this site, it pretty much defines the phrase “you’re the whitest black person i know”…
Wow! Clander, Unpaid internships are “the next big thing…Thank you for posting this blog
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 time and money to search out unpaid internships.
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.)

Freedomhaters.org has another really hilarious parody of Stuff White People Like.
Their entrees include, Madame Curie, Blackface, and The Music of Easter Island. I highly recommend checking it out here:
http://www.freedomhaters.org/content/yet-another-salute-stuff-white-people
Does this mean non whites like paid internships?
Well, good luck with that. You’re gonna need it.
im on this site…on my computer…at my unpaid internship! haha, infact were paying money so i can be near my unpaid internship!
fooled me.
No way. They sound white as hell, trying to distance themselves from their rich white upper class neighborhood. Mary, this site makes fun of things you do. We don’t care about your justifications about why and how someone like you is so insightful as to change their evil ways.
LMFAO. It’s not about race? It’s about CLASS? Yeah, since there are so many minorities with rich parents/grandparents/multi-generations of wealth. 99% of rich corporate thugs are white. You’re like those white supreme court judges calling Sotomayor racist. We get it, you’re a self-loathing rich white kid, but what about Carlos Slim?! God damn greedy brown mexicans. Lol.
To a very white girl, or anyone of whichever ethnicity- an unpaid internship usually sounds out of control and a waste of ones time but other ethnicities attend college- right? And to graduate college, or qualify for most graduate programs, unpaid internships are a requirement- not a choice. Ever been thankful your family doctor was able to fight off your “loved-ones” cancer, or successfully save ones-life in whatever dire situation? You can ultimately thank your physicians medical school for pushing their clinal hours which by-the-way were unpaid, for attributing their knowledge and expertise toward the particular medical situation. Outside of unpaid clinical hours, you can pretty much apply any dire need in which you needed some type of professional help to the same equation. Thank god for those with career passion.
This is hilarious! I’m 19 and did an unpaid internship this summer with a non-profit for youth mental health. I complained about being poor but also talked about how I’m helping society.
PS
I’m a sociology major at a small liberal arts college full of white people. Sweet.
unpaid internships are nothing more than modern indentured servitude…..you do your work time for free, then at the end, you get kicked to the curb with not even a thank you….
Unpaid internships are another form of R.O.P. (regional occupational program) class jobs, down here in the Palm Springs area, it involves hotel resort employment jobs and restaurant services. At least, the college students gets a grade, then an unpaid internship or a ROP class isn’t for any adult, single and raising a child. I went to a ROP class program in my high school senior year, didn’t do well in restaurant greeter and more was suited for dishwashing in the back kitchen. Was it worth it? I don’t know, but I got a “B” and it helps level out my final GPA at 3.2 (?)+
…and flush. The local parks-and-recreation district pays over $15 a hour to clean city parks, except more and more of the employees are fast-becoming non-union, non-white and non-citizen. That’s 90% of their work force now, and 10% are from a disabled adult employment developer I’m in as well. I don’t work out scooping poop in a park for strictly minimum wage in the early mornings or mid afternoons (in the desert heat), and the developer can relief their jobs in an instant. American workers are becoming unpaid interns, low-paid third world workers and soon to be “union-free”. +
Not all white people like un-paid internships. It’s just that doing an intership (student teaching) is the only way to get a future job.
omg its a joke
As a physician, I recall getting paid during residency and fellowship…
that’s probably because you’re white
lmfao
I’m black and have done unpaid internships in broadcast journalism…..this [bleep] better pay off…..grrrr
Um, wow. You have missed the entirety of this blog. Congratulations.
They all talk about how good it looks on a resume too. I write for http://StuffRichPeopleLove.com and telling a rich person you did something for free won’t help you get a job. It will help them to pay you less and get you to do more!
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.
i like to drink cat urine too!!!
Just read another riotous parody of Stuff White People Like at FreedomHaters.org.
Their SWL entries include: Sickle Cell Anemia, A Thesaurus, and the IFC sketch group The Whitest Kids U Know. Had me in stitches!
I recommend checking it here:
http://www.freedomhaters.org/content/once-again-yet-another-salute-stuff-white-people
This is the best. so true.
Not only do I like it, it turns out it good for you.
It’s an anti-coagulant, anti-oxidant, anti-aging cure-all for both cancer and AIDS!
Try some, you love it, guaranteed or your money back.
commission based internship is the only way to go kids. if you want money and career experience you gotta earn it.
aahahahahahaahahahaha!!!! im high right now and u just made me higher!! ahahahahaha`haahahah
Yeah if you’re rich.
I had an unpaid internship and BOTH of my managers were black and ate Popeyes everyday for lunch…. or KFC if they wanted a change of pace. They also loved yelling my name from across the office- so lazy.
This website boarders on racist
but is still amusing
At the end of the day, after the yelling across the room and fried chicken eating, you still had to call them SIR. hahaha
You loser.
Well, what about internships in biology/chemistry research. Those are pretty much ubiquitous amongst pre-med students. Or would they be counted amongst the “wrong type” of people?
Yes! Now I don’t feel so bad. I’m like you spent money not to get paid? Am I missing something here? I figure its just so you can have a large company name on your resume. But people travel out of state for this stuff and its very competitive. Maybe they have rich parents that don’t mind this? I dunno. I give up.
its stupid, and your stupid for posting it everyday on everyboard.
No, it doesn’t. The British don’t do it.
Big fan, love this site!
Another great site to check out is http://www.SomethingYouShouldRead.com
It’s a social satire website. Calm down.
I’d love to know how these people have the money to be able to afford to work for nothing…
The answer to this one is lots and lots of student loans >.<
Who needs money when you have mom and dad?
Love it!
I’d also suggest taking a look at http://www.SomethingYouShouldRead.com
and 5 years from now he will be a senior executive and you will still be a plumber
this is why black people will never be successful as a race
White people also love national service programs like AmeriCorps and Teach for America. But they loathe mitary service, while claiming not to loathe servicembers.
You forgot engineers. White people love engineers.
Or you work really hard full-time for a few years and then use your tax refund to hold you over until the internship, which is required for your degree, is complete.
I’m hispanic and i did an unpaid internship my freshman year for my resume [=
Its not that complicated. In the long run, unpaid internships in areas like finance and politics lead to much higher life time earnings because you have a stronger resume and are more likely to get a high paying job out of college.
Morons.
I’m a law student and I can tell you that unfortunately unpaid internships don’t stop in college. Check out this article on summer internship pay rates for law students, http://www.thelawstreetjournal.com/1l-2l/law-school-internship-pay-rates/
Unfortunately unpaid internships don’t stop in college. Check out this article on internship pay rates in law school, http://www.thelawstreetjournal.com/1l-2l/law-school-internship-pay-rates/
you’re probably a white hispanic then
Whoever wrote this is obviously an idiot. The reason “white people” do internships is to get a foot in the door so we can make more money than you. It’s really funny that you bash people who will obviously be more successful than you.
I think this one kills it more than most. It really is typical of white people to get unpaid internships–and not for the “future success” it supposedly brings, but rather, it’s more of a well-to-do, “I don’t want to have a serious job” mentality. Tsk Tsk.
Here’s another laugh: http://www.SomethingYouShouldRead.com
If you aren’t getting paid to be an intern, then you probably aren’t doing a job worth getting paid for, it’s pretty much that simple. Top-tier companies (Microsoft, Google, etc.) use PAID internships to attract the best and brightest interns available. Personal anecdote: I’m still in college, and am now an electrical engineering intern for a company that makes cameras that cost more than your car. And I get paid for what I do, because it takes specific skills to do it, and they know that giving an unpaid internship will not attract someone with the necessary skills to do the job effectively. For example, if they didn’t offer to pay me, I would have said “fuck you” and taken an internship offer from Lockheed Martin (a pretty damn respectable company), who also offered to PAY ME for my intern services. Then the company I’m interning for now would have gotten someone with less skills than me, as I would have went off to LM. Do you get it yet? Companies that pay their interns, usually do so because they want the best interns available. So, if you are working for free right now, you are “obviously an idiot” (as you state it) who is too dumb to find someone to pay you AND give you experience at the same time… You do know that it is possible to both get your foot in the door AND get paid for it, if you’re good enough at what you do.
You’re both idiots by the way.
Unpaid internships are for college credit. Anyone who knows anything about internships knows a company has to have some organized system of liability so they are either a) paid or b) unpaid and for college credit, in which case the accredited university assumes liability.
Oh, and really, who gives a shit? The site is satirical. Get a sense of humor or go back to reading Huffington Post you blowhards…
Good for you champ! You really are my hero. You should massage your ego just a bit more. I know that you’d never do anything for anyone else, but SOME people prefer to participate in unpaid internships to give back to society, not just take, take, take!
Right on!
Basically if you want quality, you have to pay for it. The best companies tend to pay to their interns because they hire the best and want to keep them in the end if they prove to be valuable. The others who just want slave labor, hire for free, then in the end of the internship they’ll say “thank you, you were great… see ya”… I guess it looks good on your resume or something when you try to find your next unpaid internship!
We have one of those high-profile, unpaid, non-profit internships available if any is interested : ) http://onevietnam.org/volunteer.php
I immediately thought of this when I read NYT’s “Growth of Unpaid Internships May Be Illegal, Officials Say”.
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/03/business/03intern.html?src=me&ref=general
I had to laugh at this. Like a full blown Dave Chappelle Cackle. It is indeed a satirical site =D. If you don’t find it funny, don’t waste your five minutes reading it and then your 30 minutes stroking your e-peen to post and show how much better you are than all these people you hate. You know what we white people call that? Petty bullshit. Move on!
I disagree with people’s posts on “good” companies offering paid internships while “bad” ones do not. There are many prestigious financial firms that offer unpaid internships because they really don’t need that much help bu want to see future talent that could potentially roll through. If you really want to be successful in finance, you need to have great excel, valuation skills and the only way is to get experience. Firms are smart and understand the demand for that experience is worth an unpaid position and will offer a greater upside in your earning potential. Financial firms are smart ask they understand the supply and demand chain very well.
In the words of Donald Trump to lead his “Apprentice” TV show…”You are fired”. In one episode, he fired a woman for her anti-Jewish remarks and Trump found her a very bad character, as well business ethics don’t tolerate prejudice, discrimination and racism (in this case, anti-Semitism). More power to you, the Donald. Quick, we have someone make fun of black people…the fried chicken canard, that’s a no-no.
wow anthony, we all really care about your paid internship and your LM. get your own balls out of your mouth and write about it in your diary, fag.
Fantastic. I may be taking on TWO unpaid internships this summer for a wedding planner and a jazz festival and I’m frickin’ excited! Oh yes. To make *maybe* a fifth of *each* of my doctor and lawyer parents when I’m done. I’m about as milky as you get.
And PLEASE people! This is HUMOR!!
Things Republicans Hate: No. 29 Archaeology
http://thethingsrepublicanshate.com/?p=274
Who the hell is feeding you that garbage?
Currently doing an intership for which I paid: plane ticket to Africa, now paying housing fees and taxi to go to work as there’s no other means of transportation. Total cost of this shit: over 15 000$ over 6 months plus the right to be considered as less than shit by Senior assholes showing off their white hairs and fat stomachs.
So YES internships are CRAP and it is not normal that our economic system makes it mandatory to work for free before having the right to get a job. Otherwise: Why the hell are we studying for? I thought university fees were there to make sure we have a high level and updated (meaning “theoretical knowledge of new stuff that the elders of the society – call them Seniors if you wish – implemented and learned practicaly) knowledge on our future job when we graduate? The apprenticeship was replacing or accompanying studies. The internship is just free labour – as most of the time you end up doing things for wich you are already overqualified.
So thanks for this article showing the complete non-sense of this whole mockery!
PS: Please note that I’m not writting this out of frustration: I actually got offered a job by my employer after this internship.
“prestigious” financial firms like . . . ? i think that in the past few fews they have all shown their true colors. I have a lot of friends who did the unpaid interships with Morgan Stanley and NorthWestern Mutal and a few others, and all they did was cold call for potential customers or “research” companies to find their managers did not give a crap about any of the work the were doing. Unpaid interships should be illegal. its call “minimum wage” for a reason.
I’m SO white this summer, I’ve got TWO kids interning at great expense to their parents. When I tell other white people that my kids have internships, they think I’m bragging (not complaining).
I am so white. I am working at a low-paying internship for journalism, hoping that this gives me the opportunity to rub elbows with the right kind of people. I want to work more hours for even less next year. Although, I can decide who is more white. My brother is taking a year off working at a run-down farm in the Czech.
As a physician (Pda Gen), I was not paid for my residency. Though there were perks such as free meals and a bed in a hostel nearby (I would otherwise have been traveling 2 hours a day).
Also the title not white and in medicine… really?? Your not the only one fool, dont act like you got to the moon.
Ha, I am writing this from my unpaid internship. The main reason I took it, though, is because it meant spending three months in Japan. No-brainer. 🙂
I’m sorry to say this but only affluent white people have the means to complete an unpaid internship. Any other person may have to work to make money for school or pay bills.
I have a above minimum wage internship in communications right now. I think the trend is moving to making them paid, at least in the midwest.
You had to take an unpaid job to go to China? Wouldn’t you have a lot more time for sight seeing if you weren’t working for free? You might want to look into the no-brainer part of the equation.
At first I was offended by this webpage. But then grew some balls and laughed cuz’ I’m white.
Anyway, most every internship I’ve been around is paid. All of my friends who took internships are getting cash.
Yes, namecalling is what passes for intelligent conversation for the Politically Correct.
Hey man,
You should really be more clear on this site about the certain type of white people your referring to… crusty, boring, indie people who don’t know what to do with their liberal arts degrees. You appear to think that these are the only type of of white people out there, the white ‘counter culture’… they are probably a minority in this country when compared to the mainstream.
Good stuff though, keep it up.
Hi Peter,
I 100% agree with you. This is a class issue, it’s mainly upper middle class or wealthy, white, hipsters that love unpaid internships and also giving stuff to charity instead of selling it. I know many working class, white people who would never work for free. So unpaid internships are a sign of wealth and privilege.
(I’m Black and something about working for free makes me think my ancestors might roll over in their graves and even rise up from their coffins.)
Recently I had an experience that really touched on this subject in an indirect way:
So I’m moving to Europe for work because I can’t find a decent job in the U.S., in this awful recession we are having and I have been under employed/unemployed for a while.
At any rate, I mentioned to a friend of mine that I’m selling my tv and my car since I’m moving. The important word here is “selling.” My friend meant well, but she jumped up and said, “Donate it to charity or just give it to Goodwill.” Now donating to charity is something she has the luxury of doing because:
a.) she has a fulltime job (and I don’t right now) and
b.) both of her parents are doctors with money.
It never even occurred to her that maybe I need the money from my car and my tv and that I don’t want to just donate it to charity. I still think she’s a wonderful person but there is definitely a class issue there and she can’t see it. Most of the wealthy I’ve met in my life (regardless of race or religion) are not aware of their social class in America.
Peter, I have noticed that a lot of the lists on this blog are really about white hipsters as I think you’ve mentioned.
I grew up in a working class community of Whites and Mexicans and no one was bragging about an unpaid internship (which is really slavery), everyone worked very hard and wanted to earn a decent paycheck so they could pay bills and feed their kids.
So I agree with you and a couple of other commentators on this blog who share a similar opinion.
In unpaid internships you get taken out to amazing lunches and dinners and parties sometimes. Interns can do very little in a high profile company so they are doing us a favour by giving use exposure to it. It’s not slavery， ｍｏｒｅ ｍｉｎｉ ａｐｒｅｎｔｉｃｅｓｈｉｐ， because it helps you get a better job in the future. in some places you might be treated really badly and sleep under the desk ａｎｄ ｈａｖｅ ｎｏ ｗｅｅｋｅｎｄ but it shows commitment and makes a difference when it comes to actually getting a job. ｉｆ ｉｎｔｅｒｎｓ ｗｅｒｅ ｏｎｌｙ ａｌｌｏｗｅｄ ｉｎｔｏ ｐａｉｄ ｗｏｒｋ ｅｘｐｅｒｉｅｎｃｅｓ ｔｈｅｒｅ ｗｏｕｌｄ ｂｅ ｖ ｌｉｔｔｌｅ ｏｐｐｏｒｔｕｎｉｔｙ ｆｏｒ ｙｏｕｎｇ ｐｅｏｐｌｅ．
Hi,
I mostly agree with your opinion.
I am also from a working class, but I don’t think unpaid internships are just for rich white hipsters (I’m an Asian-by the way). Sometimes to leap up high, you need to lower yourself temporarily. Because if all you have in your resume is tutoring some kids or being a part time in Dunkin donuts, some jobs will never be in your reach.
Apparently you don’t understand the point of this website or the ironic humor of this posting. Being a college educated white guy with a corporate job (oh and I am the son of a lawyer by the way) I get it and think it is hilarious (as are all the other posts on this site). Unpaid internships are retarted, I did one at a little community newspaper between my sophmore and junior years of college and found it to be completely useless so I ended up leaving before the summer was over because I was tired of being treated like crap. My first job out was college was essentially a paid internship and that lasted a month because again, I’m not willing to put up with being treated as subhuman by power hungry white people. That’s all that an unpaid internship is, a means for power hungry white people to feel supior to their unpaid interns and feed their ego by bossing them around. In addition, in order to be able to do an unpaid internship for longer a couple of months means that you are a privledged white kid with well off parents and you most likely never held a real job so working for free during or directly after graduating from college is your only way of having any “experience” on your resume-if that is the case, shame on you, I’ve actually had real minimum wage jobs and believe me, they really do suck, it made me value my self worth and education enough to realize that I deserve to be paid for my work.

Yeah I did an unpaid internship and it got me nowhere. I am sure in doing so I took away a job from somebody who would have been paid to temp where I worked for free. No one should ever do an unpaid internship.
Yeah it’s definitely not a class thing, I was a finical aid student and did my unpaid internship during collage. I come from a working class family too and I am the only person in my immediate family to attend college. I did the internship in hopes of getting a leg up but I don’t recommend doing them now because it’s no guarantee that you will obtain a job (even a low paying one).
Hahahaha, love this! It’s so true.
you guys are retarded. have fun trying to get solid paid internships and jobs with starbucks and toys r us on your resume.
unpaid internships are slavery but they get you a name on your resume, a reference for contact, and letters of recommendation for grad school.
they are also a key way of distinguishing yourself from the rest of the pack of college kids who know nothing but how to deliver pizza.
COLLAGE….COLLAGE…really?! you went to COLLAGE?
Or you could get a real college degree like Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, or Biology…they you can get into a good grad school with a teaching assistantship based on nothing more than your good grades and high GRE scores. AND you could get a job paying a couple hundred g’s a year when you finish.
But, that’s probably just silly talk, I must the wrong kind of white person. 😉
Brandon,
Most grad schools require some sort of internship, that are in conjunction to undergrad study…..
Even for law school
Some people have nothing to say, and take a long time to say it.
Now, if you don’t mind, I need to be at a cross-burning across town. Turns out some Negroes have to be shown their place.
Ta!
Actually, it’s more like half.

rauccitron, you are the most tightly wound SOB I’ve ever come across. Lighten the fuck up!
you’re a dick
LOL I saw this blog on http://www.DanielDickey.com (The MTV VJ) and must admit it’s just as funny!!!
uhhhhhh….. no they don’t….. what are you thirty?
And doesn’t wordpress have the ability to ban this fuckers IP?
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.
I’m white, and this is a crock of you-know-what! The internship nightmare is a construct of business and the republican party. It’s a required foray into indentured servitude (read: SLAVERY) for ALL college students. GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT! We didn’t have this crap when I was in college in the 1980’s
Moron spammer
All the interns at my place this year are black. Unpaid. Same as the white and asian chicks that were here last year. They are happy to have the experience.
I love this blog, but the comments are the pits. It seems one of the things white people don’t understand is irony. Sheeesh.
God will shed light on America soon. The light could be good or bad. I am not going to point fingers. We must help each other soon. We must see the signs that we are given. We must change our ways of thinking and not worship the dollar. We mustn’t or it could spell the end of America as we know it. Our foundation is falling apart. Our debt is skyrocketing. Our middle class is decomposing. Does the hair on your neck stand up? It is not the government’s fault. It is the way of life of all Americans combined that leads to a faulty foundation. It is us who will ultimately allow for the collapse of America. We must get rid of Greed and materialistic ways. We must lend helping hands to those in need of help. And when I say lend a hand, I don’t mean to tell congress to, I mean to tell you to. Spread love throughout mankind in America and our country will be saved. Spread the word of the lord which has been around far before this country even existed. Go tell your friends and family, do not be ashamed for the lord is with you.
Idiotic things like this is why this site reminds me of neither myself nor any of the white people I’m friends with. This isn’t “stuff white people like” it’s “stuff middle class urban kids like.” I’m from the whitest state in the country and I never see people able to take unpaid internships or into microbrews and all that crap unless their snobby transplants from New York and stuff.
You are the wrong kind of white person. You are most likely a hilly billy. Please go shuck something. Thanks.
I think this one is only for kids fresh out of college whose parents are still footing the bill. I also think this one is more determined by economic status than race.
By your definition of slavery, college is an institution where you pay a lot of money to be a slave.
I did an unpaid internship at Mel’s shit hole trailer park. Fuck, I had to deal with all the unwashed smelly scum of Mel’s fabulous trailer park. Now I am a C.O. so I guess it was good training.
I really appreciate this post. I’ve been looking all over for this! Thank goodness I found it on Bing. You have made my day! Thanks again
And they wonder why the black community has so many problems.
Hey there! Nice stuff, do inform me when you post something like that!
Internships give you an opportunity to start on a field you are interested in pursuing, this is a valuable chance of getting hired on future prospective jobs. Your chance of hired status will increase when employers see the history of your resume containing internships, volunteering and basically community involvement.
Trust me, every kind of job is grueling and there will always be sacrifices to make. You can’t expect a job NOT to be hard and grueling. Its like expecting life not to have any hardships when we experience it everyday and adapt to it.
How about it be hard and grueling AND pay something at least.
…”Any white person who takes an internship outside of these industries is either the wrong type of white person or a law student…”
The other exception is engineering. Those internships often pay quite well…

Healthcare internships do not fit into this category.
Damn, people, take a joke! I thought this was hilarious!
HAHA! so true. This article seems to be the way Vancouver works. EVERYBODY offers “internships” , as proof I used to work for a language college that sold “internships” and even my boss knew they were pure shit; photocopying, serving coffee, learning in a “real canadian environment” aka we are using ESL students and other students to get shit done for free. One thing is true, karma’s a bitch. The school now closed cuz it went bankrupt. I think my ex boss might be doing an internship now…
PS and by everybody in Vancouver I mean, people that use interns to just get their morning coffee or answer the phone, not to help them and teach them anything useful or giving them some love. I’ve done internships that actually helped me obtaining a full-time job, but I was lucky enough to have awesome people as bosses.
BS. Nobody likes doing work and not getting paid. NOBODY!
Hy there.
I realy like your Article… verry nice.. keep the good word … http://www.vreaumuzica.com
Yeah, what’s with the uptight responses on this site!!!!?
Its called trying to better yourself, working hard even though the odds of employment are stacked against you. NOT sitting on your arse all day, letting strangers work hard to feed you and trying to look like a p.i.m.p. jokes. p.s. NOBODY LIKES working for free.
this blog is starting to make me hate white people
Nice post, thank you!
this article is ON POINT!
It’s a good point, but generally those involved in unpaid internships take them because there’s nothing better out there and they want to demonstrate their competence to do the job.
If anything, the white people deserving of blame are those who peddle unpaid internships (as they are essentially trafficking in slavery) rather than those who take such jobs. Yet you seem suggest above blaming those who take the internships. Try getting a job in this economy that doesn’t involve making snarky and obvious comments and then talk.
But it’s always more fun sitting on a perch and shitting on people you perceive as below you, isn’t it?

I used to LOVE this site. x
Thank you for the write up. I certainly agree with what you are
saying. I have been talking about this subject a lot these days with my
brother so ideally this will get him to see my viewpoint.
Fingers crossed!
Hello! I simply want to give an enormous thumbs up for the nice info you could have here on this post.
I shall be coming back to your blog for extra soon.
Well, I don’t know about other people, but I was required to complete an unpaid internship before I was allowed to graduate. My sister, on the other hand, was smart enough to major in a field with paid internships.
I was a lab research assistant at my college and it was unpaid – hence an unpaid internship.
Truth is, a lot of companies and organizations are actually making what I think are entry-level positions into unpaid internships. I know a lot of unpaid interns who are actually doing skilled work, and are being exploited in my opinion.
Only and all crappy people think this is crap
This design is steller! You certainly know how to keep a reader entertained.
Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to
start my own blog (well, almost…HaHa!) Wonderful job. I really enjoyed
what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it.
Too cool!
Every white person I know besides myself thinks internships are just the way things are. I think they are bullshit.
Properly just considered i’d say howdy. Terrific web site Ian.
