Over the weekend, during a memorable episode of “Saturday Night Live,” host Chadwick Boseman brought his iconic character T’Challa from Black Panther into a hilarious “Black Jeopardy” sketch. This particular skit replaced conventional Jeopardy! categories with humorous ones like “Aw Hell Naw” and “Girl, Bye.”
As T’Challa tackles various questions, he encounters a query in the “White People” category regarding a character named Karen, who contributes her homemade potato salad to a barbecue. T’Challa humorously points out the stereotype that white people tend to have a different approach to cooking, often under-seasoning their dishes or adding unexpected ingredients like raisins. It’s a lighthearted jab that resonates because many have witnessed similar culinary choices, whether it’s cornbread or macaroni and cheese.
This observation sparked my thoughts on other quirky habits or preferences that could easily fall under the “white people” category in SNL’s beloved sketch. These aren’t negative traits, but rather amusing cultural quirks that seem to be uniquely associated with white individuals. Take, for instance, the sight of a parent sipping white wine from a juice box during their child’s soccer match—harmless, yet distinctly relatable to a certain demographic.
Before diving into the amusing list, it’s crucial to clarify that this is all in good fun. So, if you’re feeling a bit uptight—relax, it’s not that serious! I don’t harbor any ill will towards white folks; I just find the peculiarities of some of your habits endlessly entertaining.
Amusing Stereotypes to Explore
Now, let’s explore a few more amusing stereotypes:
- Hiking: Flip through an LL Bean catalog, and you’ll see it’s predominantly filled with white adventurers. The idea of hiking doesn’t quite mesh with the hair care concerns of many Black women.
- Avocado Toast: While some might say this is just a millennial trend, it’s undeniably a white millennial phenomenon. Who else would pay $12 for a piece of toast topped with avocado?
- Road Trips: There’s something about cramming into a car for days, visiting quirky attractions like the World’s Largest Ball of Twine, and indulging in Cracker Barrel along the way that seems quintessentially white.
- Family Cloth: Only in certain circles would you find people opting for cloth toilet paper as an environmental choice. It’s reminiscent of that time Sheryl Crow suggested using just two squares of toilet paper—this is a stretch!
- Blowout Bars: I can speak from experience here; white women love to sip mimosas while getting their hair done at blowout bars.
- Wayfarers: These sunglasses are perhaps the embodiment of whiteness, right alongside aviators.
- Concert Festivals: Dust off those flower crowns; it’s time for Coachella or SXSW, where you’ll find a sea of white festival-goers.
- Hunter Boots: I must confess, I adore these boots, but they carry with them an air of quintessential whiteness, especially when paired with a Starbucks cup in an Instagram picture.
- Camping: This ties back to road trips, and only white people would willingly choose to sleep under the stars, fish, and cook over a campfire without modern conveniences.
- Extreme Sports: For many Black individuals, mere existence is an extreme sport; leaping off cliffs with just a piece of fiberglass isn’t really our scene.
- MLMs: I have friends who dabble in selling everything from leggings to essential oils, a trend that doesn’t often include Black representation in the marketing.
- Dressing Up Pets: This also includes dressing up to match your pet—an amusing sight for sure.
- Frozen Yogurt: While I enjoy this treat, it undeniably leans towards the white side of the culinary spectrum.
- Hip Hop Line Dancing: An entire category that needs no explanation.
Before you raise your defenses with “not all white people,” remember that these observations come from a place of humor and shared experiences. Many of us enjoy some of these quirks, and there’s no need to take it too personally, Brenda.
