15 Things White Girls Love To Do on Facebook

1. Take pictures of their feet.

This is what our feet look like!

2. Express their extreme annoyance at this work day and hint that it deserves a much needed alcoholic beverage at the end of it. WINK WINK.

3. Thank their hubby for being the best hubby in the world while their hubby is sitting right next to them.

4. Complain about bad service at a fine dining establishments. “Never eating at Applebee’s AGAIN!”

5. Express their extreme excitement to see their best friends tonight, Britney, Whitney, and Sarah!!! LOVE YOU LADIES!!

6. Take pictures wearing a lot of makeup and looking really preppy while simultaneously making a “hard” facial expression and holding up what they consider to be a gangster sign. Potential caption: ‘Straight thuggin.’

We’re hard!!!

7. Take pictures of undeserving food.

I effing love oatmeal!!! Mmmmmmm.

8. Make their status the song lyrics of any Kings of Leon Song.

9. Take a picture of someone they deem inferior to themselves in some way with the question: Really?

10. Write angry letters to companies (Dear EZ PARK, I hate you!), unorganized groups of people (Dear slutty freshmen who think that leggings can be worn as pants..), and non-entities (Dear unseasonably cold weather, WTF?!)

11. Subtly yell at no one in particular while being very specific. “Wow, it’s hard to believe that you think you know someone and then they turn around and STAB YOU IN THE BACK. Will never make that mistake again. EVER.”

12. Document exceedingly mundane activites for the day. “Getting my oil changed today. Then getting much needed groceries. Then it’s off to the post office to return a package. Then stopping by the gyno. Will probably need some gas by the end, so I may stop at the gas station. But I might be tired so I’ll probably just get it in the morning on my way to pick up a prescription. But if I’m not very tired I’ll probably just get the gas on the way home. Again, unless I am tired.”

13. Express their distaste for facebook on facebook and threaten to leave facebook to their facebook friends.

14. Ask seemingly rhetorical questions. “It’s cool to do a bunch of meth and babysit 20 six year olds, right? Hehe.”

15. Write a status in another language. Parce que, Je suis tres intelligente!!

Love,

Mary. A white girl on facebook, guilty of most of these things.

  2. > Parce que, Je suis tres intelligente!!
    Intelligence can’t replace a french keyboard when you only have an US keyboard and you need to put an accent on a “e”.
    Fortunately, because you’re intelligent, the title of your article can catch the attention of a french who will offer you the right french letter in the right full sentence :
    Parce que je suis très intelligente!!
    Now the question is :
    Est-ce que vous êtes assez intelligente pour copier-coller la phrase corrigée dans votre article en remplacement de la phrase défectueuse ?

    1. I don’t think they were holding up the girl posting the status as actually intelligent. The French is supposed to be simplistic. It looks like something you’d learn in your first French class.

      So I think it’s hypothetical white girl’s error, not the authors’.

And yes he is right, is the title of this was about a black woman, the race card would be pulled and the article would probably be pulled. That’s a FACT

  10. I loooooove this! The 15 things were funny. The comments were even funnier. People getting on their high horse about racism, yet seeminly totally ok with sexism (i.e. why not just say “women” and not “white women”). Ah its a shame when the world gets too scared to say things. We all sterotype. It is a short cut for our brains. Its human nature. We do it. It is harmful when we act on these sterotypes that are either 1) mostly incorrect 2) can marginalise groups, particularly those already marginalised,etc. But it doesn’t mean sterotypes don’t exist. It doesn’t mean that when we say “white women on facebook” or “black women on facebook” or “latino women on facebook” that we don’t conjure up certain thoughts, make certain judgements. If these sterotypes are used in this way it provides both a) comic relief (via the ability to laugh at ourselves [this women says she fits this category so I am assuming she is white and a women and is on facebook and does many of these things] and our ability to laugh at others, in a ligh-hearted non-threatening way and b) on a more serious level, it does provide us with some insight, via the eyes of a self-proclaimed “insider” into the world of white women on facebook.
    So, now that I have just made myself souns like a total douche, I want to say, just enjoy the laugh and stop being so tense and intense, relax and have a laugh at ourselves (human kind), not everytime someone says white or black they are being racist. Not everytime they say women or men they are being sexist. Not everytime they say girl or boy they are being agist… ;P
    Enjoyed the post muchly, cheers.

        *exasperated sigh* there are multiple types of racial humor. they can be broken into (roughly) two camps: the kind specifically and purposely meant to hurt (say, a racist white person spitefully telling a n***** joke); and the kind meant to make you think about your own ideals and actions and make fun of you / make you uncomfortable about it / make you laugh at yourself.

        obviously some racial humor is ugly, but you clearly don’t watch enough stand-up comedians to be able to tell the difference. i for one and grateful for the dave chappelles and chris rocks of the world.

      1. There’s no need to attack me and my own writing, taken out of context, on here. I think it’s fine to question these things, especially as there seems to be no correct way to discuss issues like race anymore. I think the term ‘white girls’ just has a lot of stigma around it due to how it’s been used. I’m not a crusader, I just think it’s worth working out bad habits in our thought patterns. This article may be meant ironically, but it reminds me of similar bad habits to those discussed here: http://fightapathyordont.com/?p=1689
        I’m aware that people are flawed and to be honest all the time inevitably involves an element of hypocrisy, but I strive when I can to stick to my principles, and… the term ‘white girls’ just really jarrs with me. I won’t apologise for that, I’m just surprised that it’s in use and so acceptable, celebrated even, on such a huge network like WordPress.
