I was poking around WordPress and looking to read some interesting blogs for my own inspiration and, of course, entertainment. I found Stuff White People Like by Clander and, since I’m white, I decided to check it out and see what kind of stuff I supposedly like.
Clander touches on all different behaviors that he/she observes of white people. For example, Clander’s blog #76 Bottles of Water discusses how white people fail to understand the concept of turning on the tap, putting a glass underneath, and drinking. Clander refers to a PR Campaign launched in NY City to show white people they could actually drink tap water.
The blog continues to discuss the conceptions and/or misconceptions of white people and bottled water. I agree with Clander and his/her opinion that sporting an expensive bottle of water suggests…..ewww……tap water, oh no, too many impurities, blah, blah, blah.
Since there is now an environmental concern with plastics, Clander suggest that “advanced white people” are concerned about the waste that comes with drinking bottled water and their concerns for the earth. White people on the cutting edge are into water from metal bottles of water with a twist cap.
This particular blog comes across to me as lighthearted; however, after reflecting upon this thought of white people and bottled water, it seems true. So, if you want to be want Clander refers to as “advanced white people,” get rid of the plastic bottles and be the first on your block to have the cutting edge metal bottle. This allows you to still be fashionable while suggesting that you also are environmentally correct.
