The most common place for Canadians to move to is, of course, the United States.
I’m with you on this one. It seems to me to be a list of things that people of a common socioeconomic background and regional culture like. Not a racial thing at all. All the white people I grew up with (my family back in Ohio, etc) would look at this list and go “huh?” It wouldn’t even register. Can’t find much on there that I’m really into–in fact, I get really annoyed with people who fit the description to a tee.
Yes, there is a particular phenomenon, as I’m sure you’re aware, of white people really avoiding other white people. I know from my Thai wife that when two unacquainted Thais run into each other anywhere in the world, they’ll spend at least a bit of time chatting. But we farangs (white people) are not always comfortable with an unknown farang popping up. I’m very much guilty of this myself. My best friend in Thailand, a fellow American farang, lives upcountry and flat out does not like it when another farang appears in the area.
“stuff White People Like”
I like collard greens.
I think I am growing the best collard greens on my street. Of course, everyone else on my street is filipino, so I may perhaps be the only one on my street growing collard greens.
I am white. (I didn’t want to forget to mention that.)
For future research, I think it is possible that other people besides white people like collard greens.
I recognized the singer comedian duo from their pic, number 77. They invented rap, back in New Zealand.
This is probably completely OT, but an anime fan friend of mine once told me about watching an interview with a Japanese voice actress. The interview was conducted in English. It turned out that the voice actress learned both English and French from the same teacher, who was himself French. My friend said the result was very interesting, if a little strange: a cute Japanese girl speaking English with a French accent.
Oh sure. But empty threats? Oz, all the way.
Jeez, Tyrone, you didn’t even mention that your (also white) brother actually did the deed and moved to Canada.
White people like concise lists that can fit onto one page…
“Don’t worry, it is impossible for a white person to turn down the opportunity to proofread.”
hee hee hee
Those are the wrong kind of white people.
Oh sorry, that was already said. I just noticed that Dangerosa got it wrong.

OK, here it is: I forgot to mention that one of my brothers, (both of whom are white) actually did the deed and moved to Canada without even threatening to do so beforehand. The other brother (also still white) moved to Waianae on the west coast of Oahu. He also never threatened to move there beforehand. I don’t think white guys ever threaten to move to Waianae. He may be the only white guy in Waianae.
I know Waianae. Does he actually venture out at night? 
Liking the Polka is not unique to white people. The apartment complex behind me hired Hispanic Polka bands to play Polkas all day long to celebrate Mother’s day 2007 and not all the people dancing and enjoying the music were white by a long shot.
Nonwhite don’t like marijuana? Is this some kind of ridiculous joke? There’s a whole genre of black music whose lyrics are roughly 60% devoted to marijuana references. Every single black person I know smokes weed like there’s no tomorrow. (This is also true of every single white person I know, for what it’s worth.)
You mean like this?
Yes, I like that! Give me a menu!
Not everyone who likes guns or hunting is a bible-thumping Redneck, you know.

No. If he needs anything, he usually buys it on the way home from work. I think if he needed anything ‘right now’ he wouldn’t be worried about venturing out at night.
