It’s a White Thing
Well, let’s be honest - have you ever just noticed something and attributed it to race? I know I have, then again, I was born a brown kid. I’ have re-shingled roof in 100 degree temperatures, I drive an El Camino, and I even have a Spark Plug Spacer on my key chain from Auto Zone; I’ll be completely honest with you, I’m about as Mexican as a Tamale Vendor in a border town.
Race is a very funny, although very sensitive topic, and when done correctly, can have an overwhelming effect in creating humor, as well as attracting audiences.
So, I’m guessing plenty of you have probably heard of “Stuff White People Like,” a very humorous and “politically incorrect” take on the social protocol of the “middle white class.” Well, a woman, by the name of Jeninne found it very hilarious and decided to create her own version - “Stuff Mixed-People Like.” Naturally…this doesn’t work. Maybe it’s because Mixed Individuals are comprised of WAY too many different combinations and possibilities, as well as environments, for there to be any large-scale uniformity, or maybe it’s because I’m just an ass and I don’t want to give her proper credit - either way, sorry love: not happening.
Not to say it killed the joke - but it kinda did. I mean, I admire her tenacious and audacious attempt at bridging the gap, but let’s be honest - it doesn’t quite work. It’d be like me making a “Stuff Mexicans Like,” and listing “eating beans,” “mowing lawns,” and “hopping fences” as some of our favorite activities; I’m sorry, but it just doesn’t work.
So all in all, way to go Jeninne - you killed something legitimately funny.
Way to be.
