I’m at 40/134. Pretty damn white. Which is accurate.

6

I’d just like to step in here, and ask, “What the fuck?”

How many do I need to be white?

7

Huh. Apparently I am a person of color. Only 5 things there…and they were all comedy related.

8

I am at 42.5.

I counted threatening to move to Canada as a 0.5 since I already live here.

9

I always hated that site, and I don’t understand why people think it’s funny. It completely conflates the issues of race and class, and that is a huge step backwards in terms of social progress. Really - fuck that site.

10

72 so I guess I’m super white, although the list looks a lot more to me like “liberal” than “white”. I also feel like I should be able to subtract the items I am adverse to.

11

About 40. Thankfully the list was made in 2008 but I think I’m getting whiter with age.

12

I’m pretty white for a Nigger Rican.

18

That was my reaction. What the hell is the justification for that site’s blatherings? It looked to me like a someone’s random collection of likes and dislikes, somehow dressed up as “what white people like”.
