I think a lot of white people tend to take themselves and their opinions very seriously, in comparison to other races. If there was a headcount of annoying pretentious gits around the world, I think white people would also win that one.

True enough, it's not even talking about white people, it's talking about Americans. If they included all whites like Scandinavians, it might be different. Pickled herring, now, there's something only white people like. Or black metal.


Too true about the pickled herring. Even Koreans don't like it!
Last weekend watching TV with my gf, there was a "Sandwich Grand Prix" with interesting sandwiches from around the world, with an all korean judge panel.
One of the European sandwiches was picked herring. i didn't know what the sandwich was at first, all the judges were gagging and my gf kinda was too. once i figured out what it was i said "Hey! I love that stuff, every X-mas and my grandpas's place we'd eat it!"
of course we used pumpernickel or a dark rye bread for the sandwich... yum.

The is one of the funnier posts:

Doesn't really sound white. Sounds like someone who comes from a wealthy family and can afford to quit working for a year.


If you read the whole post, it says that some make their year easier by teaching ESL.


So you agree with Korean hagwon owners: teaching ESL IS for white people.

Except many of us have done it for more than one year. And teaching ESL isn't exactly "taking a year off" in a lot of cases. It can be just as hard/stressful as some white-collar, "white man" job that apparently minorities covet (judging from the final sentences of that post).

That's kind of my point though. The site is inflammatory and I am surprised it is not flamed more. I think the runners of that site are basically thekindofpretentiousminoritiesidontlike.com


It's funny. One should be able to make fun of oneself. Regarding myself, a good 75% of the stuff on that site is spot on.

As for the Korean hagwon owners: no. I never said such a thing. It's just a funny post that is supposed to make anyone with a sense of humor laugh.

There you go. I realized a long time ago we're all bozos on this bus. Get happy, get busy, and enjoy your ride. But FIRSTLY don't allow anyone to f#*k with your happy. At NO time! It's gets good after that.
