New Funniest Blog Evar

http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com/

It's funny to make fun of white people. And this stuff is totally true. Particularly acutely funny for this white guy are #72 Study Abroad:

By attending school in another country, white people are technically living in another country. This is important as it gives them the opportunity to insert that fact into any sentence they please. “When I used to live in [insert country], I would always ride the train to school. The people I’d see were inspiring.”

If you need to make up your own study abroad experience, they all pretty much work the same way. You arrived in Australia not knowing anybody, you went out to the bar the first night and made a lot of friends, you had a short relationship with someone from a foreign country, you didn’t learn anything, and you acquired a taste for something (local food, beer, fruit). This latter point is important because you will need to be able to tell everyone how it is unavailable in your current country.


And #70 Difficult Breakups:

Once breakup proceedings have been initiated, a white person is immediately thrust into the center of attention in their circle of friends. During this time, they are permitted to talk at great lengths about themselves, listen to The Smiths, and get free dinners from friends who think “they shouldn’t be alone right now.”

It is imperative that you do not attempt to kick them out of their misery by saying things like “get over it,” “there are other people out there,” or “I don’t want to read your poem.” Implying that there things in the world more important to you than their breakup is considered one of the rudest actions possible.


Particularly because those things are 1) true, and 2) happened in my life recently.

Laugh til you cry.

Thanks BA!

When I studied abroad in the Bahamas, I developed a taste for Bahamanian cabana boys, and you just can't find them here...
