Stuff White People Like

Unless you have been living under a rock, you are already familiar with Stuff White People Like, so I will spare the introduction. Sometimes the entries by former Torontonian Christian Lander are a little beyond my scope as a young, white person, but more often than not they are LOL funny. However, sometimes, his topics and descriptions of white person personality traits fit me to a T. Sometimes, it's actually chilling.

The two most recent entries really could have been titled, Stuff Melissa Wilson Likes.

#104 Girls With Bangs

Many people associate this type of haircut with children and people looking for the most efficient way to get hair out of their eyes. But for white people, this simple haircut makes a bold declaration by saying that the wearer is artistic, deep, and has probably dated a guy in a band you like...For white people, the haircut-with-bangs is an important symbol that a female has completed her transformation from a nerdy girl to a cool woman.

That is my exact haircut (albeit, my bangs have gotten kind of shabby because of the next SWPL entry) and I got it for the first time when I started university.

#105 Unpaid Internships

White people view the internship as their foot into the door to such high-profile low-paying career fields as journalism, film, politics, art, non-profits, and anything associated with a museum. Any white person who takes an internship outside of these industries is either the wrong type of white person or a law student. There are no exceptions.

If all goes according to plan, an internship will end with an offer of a job that pays $24,000 per year and will consist entirely of the same tasks they were recently doing for free. In fact, the transition to full time status results in the addition of only one new responsibility: feeling superior to the new interns.

I am currently putting in 40 hours a week for zero dollars an hour at This Magazine. However, I do not fetch coffee or dry cleaning and I rarely photocopy, so I can feel superior to the Devil Wears Prada-esque interns out there. Though, I think this feeling makes me even whiter.

There are others, but I think I will stop at these two, because I am beginning to feel less unique by the second.
