#75 Threatening to Move to Canada
February 24, 2008 by clander

Often times, white people get frustrated with the state of their country. They do not like the President, or Congress, or the health care system, or the illegal status of Marijuana. Whenever they are presented with a situation that seems unreasonable to them, their first instinct is to threaten to move to Canada.

For example, if you are watching TV with white people and there is a piece on the news about that they do not agree with, they are likely to declare �ok, that�s it, I�m moving to Canada.�

Though they will never actually move to Canada, the act of declaring that they are willing to undertake the journey is very symbolic in white culture. It shows that their dedication to their lifestyle and beliefs are so strong, that they would consider packing up their entire lives and moving to a country that is only slightly similar to the one they live in now.

Within white culture, it is agreed upon that if Canada had better weather it would be a perfect place.

Being aware that this information can be used quite easily to gain the trust of white people. Whenever they say, �I�m moving to Canada,� you must immediately respond with �I have relatives in Canada.�

They will then expect you to tell them about how Canada has a perfect healthcare system, legalized everything, and no crime. Though not true, it will reassure them that they are making the right choice by saying they want to move there.

But be warned, they will reference you in future conversations and possibly call on you to settle disputes about Canadian tax rates. So use this advice only if you plan to do some basic research.

Note: Canadian white people threaten to move to Europe.

Note: Europeans are unable to threaten to move anywhere.

This blog should be re-titled "Stuff pretentious white upper-middle class urban/suburban American's like."

Well, to be fair, where are they going to move?

No one likes Americans except us, and Mexico obviously isn't an option

There was a huge poll done on CBC and it showed that in 2007 a huge majority of Canadians "liked" Americans, just not their politics.

Pretty dumb to hate Americans, they are mostly like us but more religious and elect idiots.

everyone loves Americans. Just like all citizens love their dictator in power.

cus you know....

Yes that is the point. No one really hates individual americans, but people do hate the politics, the ultra-conservative culture, etcetera. The way you worded it just made it seem like you meant the US is especially well liked here, which simply isn't the case (though it might have been back in the clinton days, and may very well be again in the obama days). Anti-US sentiment is currently as strong here as anywhere, maybe even stronger.

It's unfortunate that one regime and an aging conservative populace ruins it for the rest of us.

Which also means "Liberal".

So that blog hits home with 99.9 percent of the TA population.

I really love this site. Having grown up in a very wealthy suburban mostly white neighborhood, I recognize practically everything they talk about, and find it completely hilarious.

Hardly! Upper-Middle class is usually more moderate to conservative. While the blog does cover some liberal ideals (being green, social responsibility) it also portrays them(us) in a stereotypical, corporate brand-whoring, and globally ignorant light.

Plus some of these dont make sense, since they are things that have universal appeal. (You're telling me smoking pot and drinking coffee is only/predominantly liked by whites?)

The fact that I'm white, and over half of these don't apply to me makes me feel like I'm either a bad white person or this is a bad blog.

I find this amusing.


Posted by MrJiveBoJingles on Mar-01-2008 04:17:

He's really off on the whole "rich + white = Democrat" thing, though. The Republicans are the ones who get most of the rich white people. He seems to be talking about a specific subset of rich white people, something like "bobos."

But a lot of the entries are still funny.

It is also important that white people are reminded of their creativity, and remember you need a Mac to creatively check email, creatively check websites, and creatively watch DVDs on planes.

LOL.

#20 Being an expert on YOUR culture

White people are pretty conflicted about their culture. On one hand, they are proud of the art, literature, and film produced by white culture. But at the same time, they are very ashamed of all the bad things in white culture: the KKK, colonialism, slavery, Jim Crow laws, feudalism, and the treatment of native americans.

One way they can make up for it is becoming marginally acquainted with foreign cultures. It is generally acceptable for a white person to learn a few terms in a language spoken primary by non-whites (such as Chinese, Tagalog or Portuguese). They can then use these phrases to order certain �more authentic� dishes in restaurants.

White people can also take passing interest in film, politics, music or art from these countries. When they actually meet someone from that country, or at least who has parents from that country they cannot wait to engage you in all the details that they have learned.

�Have you heard the new Andy Lau CD? It�s awesome!�

It is imperative that you recognize how special and unique this white person is for knowing about your culture. Acceptable responses include �Wow, I�ve never seen a white person order chicken feet,� or �How did you find about that film? I didn�t think they had dubbed it yet.�

These responses will fill white people with that self satisfaction they need. Also, they consider a reminder that they are not racist, which also makes them feel terrific.

Known plenty of people like this.
