White People Love to Blog
White people love writing journals on the internet to let all their friends (and the world at large) know how truly witty or informed they are. Sometimes these bloggers will even do podcasts with their friends and banter about current events, southern rock and SEC sports while giggling like school girls with each other. Writing and podcating frees their spirits and lets there words soar through out the universe. Deep down white folks are really hoping that someone will notice how funny, enlightened and entertaining they are and hire them to write about popular culture for their magazine or highly profitable website. White people keep plugging away at it despite the fact that only a handful of their friends check out their latest entries (the novelty wears off when you don't bring the goods) because white people never let their dreams die....no matter how out of reach they are.
Next time you get that e-mail or see a post on your favorite message board about someones new blog...just remember that guy is white....and probably fucking hates hipsters.
Even better than doing a semester abroad for white people is living in another country for more authentic reasons. Then they can blog about their sister turning them on to the early Manchester Rave Scene, and talk about how not only did they know about Vampire Weekend at the Columbia Battle of the Bands, they knew about The Stone Roses
looooong before their stateside brethren.
They also like posting on message boards about how they live in the middle of nowhere, but resent all the people they live around, move to other states and can't make friends, and like to project their own failings on other more talented people. People with jobs and productive lives in real career fields.
And, they really, really like to feel superior by knowing where white basketball players' sons live, and how those young white gentlemen revere assists over points.
