White People
I think that this is pretty funny. Maybe this is because I am not white. However, even if this was about black people I am sure that I would not be offended at all. I do not get offended very easily and especially over stuff like this. The author is satirizing the way he or she thinks that white people act. I think that the part about statistics is partly true. However, not only white people do this. People of other races do this too. However, it does seem as though white people do this more often than other races do. Many white people do try to sound sophisticated and smart. I think that the part about white people comparing people to Hitler is pretty funny. This is true to an extent and is more so true in an academic setting, like at school. The part about white people being excessively early for events is also funny. It is very true. This is not true for most black people. Many black people are late to wherever they are going. Lots of black people have no sense of time. They get to wherever they are going whenever they feel like getting to that place. It might not even be not wanting to be at an event on time. I think that it has a lot to do with procrastination and waiting till the last minute to leave their house when they are going to an event. I know that is what I do. I am not bragging about that because that is not good at all. I have been trying to work on that for years (not being late to events), and I am still working on it. The part about white people liking menus with no decimal places is kind of dumb. I know that I like menus with no decimal places. It makes me seem as though I am getting a deal on the food. The part about white people liking sweaters is also funny. I think that this is true also. I does seem as though many white people wear sweaters. I am not trying to be mean, but it does seem as though white adults play children’s games when a group of them get together. The games are even sometimes dumb and make them look stupid, but they do not care. I guess as long as they are having fun and not harming anyone else. That is all that matters. It also does seem as though white people do not get offended when someone (even of another race) says a joke that could be considered offensive to white people. If something is said about black people to a black person (especially from a person of another race, particularly a white person), then that black person will probably get offended. I always did and still do wonder why white people do not get offended. Maybe it is because of all those years of them doing bad stuff to black people in slavery. Maybe they feel that that gives them no reason to get offended when they offended black people for all of those years. It does seem as though most white people talk with proper English. I found this statement funny also. Overall, this list was very entertaining and not boring at all. (Just to let everyone know, I do not have anything against white people)!
