Rumour Has It
Hello!
Over the grapevine and down the 405
I've been whitewashed.
I wrote this late a few nights back.
Hello there.

Chase - > Le singe est sur la branche! -> I'm a percentage white! Are you?!
I'm a percentage white! Are you?!

Someone posted this survey on myspace.  I'm not saying there aren't equivalent examples for mexicans/blacks/etc... but I happened to stumble on this one and it irritated me.   I'm tired of people trying to pin me into a box because I'm white.  I've already posted an article on this a long time ago titled "Don't Call Me White".  So feel free to leave thoughts and whatnot.*

*By thoughts I mean constructive ones, not "Damn Mexicans!, or Stupid White people!"  Non-divisive!



[] You went to a private school
- I first began questioning my 'whiteness' when I was forced against my will to go to public school and sit in classes along with ... 'minorities'   By 'private school' I mean a diverse, low income public school. 

[] You watch/watched the show Laguna Beach
- anybody who watches this show should be shot

[] You watch/watched the show American Idol (first season only)
- Apparently "America's Next Top Model" is for mexicans

[] You watch/watched the show OC
-anybody who watches this show should be tazed

[X] You know what a poncho is

[x] You have listened to a band called Fuel
- I think there is only one band called 'Fuel', but variations like 'Gasoline' and 'Petroleum Products' are in my i-pod too if that counts.


[X] You've shopped at American Eagle, Aeropostale, Hollister, Abercrombie &Fitch, Krew, OR Hot Topic
- The black people that shop at those stores are only white people in disguise.


[x] You have/had a dog that is NOT a pitbull
- silly minorities and their inability to own dogs that aren't pitbulls... I also never knew my sister was black/hispanic/not white, but dogs speak louder than reality.


[] You bend the bill of your hat
- Only white people do this


[X] You own a pair of dc's/converse/etnies/vans
- I've never seen a non-white person wearing any of those shoes!

[] You/Your parent(s) drive cars with leather seats
- caddilacs don't count because there are black people and mexicans who drive them.


[X] Your main language is English
- Germans and Swedes are definitely not white then.



[x] You say the word DUDE a lot
- only when I'm referencing the old Nickelodeon show "Hey Dude!" and when I say things like "Dude, I love how I have white privilege!"

[] You think cops are awesome
- Fuck the police! Especially in Bakersfield where the force is comprised of a significant amount of minorities - including women! Oh, and when I get pulled over I exclaim "Yay! I'm going to get a ticket for speeding! Hurray because cops are awesome and I'm a tool!"

[X] You have absolutely no idea what twista is saying when he raps
- maybe if I listened to twista I would... but me, being a white person, am incapable of relating to another group of people who are not living off of trust funds while snorting caviar through their 24k gold nose jobs.


[X] You listen to rock
- Thank God Jimi Hendrix is dead! He wouldn't know what to say!

[X] You know who Willie Nelson is
- do you not?

[] your parents give you money when you ask
- Yes, my parents, unlike a minority's parents, will give me money at the drop of a hat. A very expensive hat mind you.


[] Your parents just hand you money for no reason at all

- DEFINITELY a white person trait. Because not only am I given money all the time without having to work for it, I have never ever come across any minority who has not scraped together a measly sum of money over four to five months just to purchase their starbucks/cell phones/rims/expensive clothes. ONLY white people have any money at all and there are no poor white people! (Especially in Bakersfield)

[] You wear flip flops with a lot of your clothes
- I wear cowboy boots and doc martins

[X] You know what meatloaf tastes like
- and what they sound like

[X] You have said awesome more than 100 times in a week
- only the week the pope was here

*My addition
[ ] You base your assumptions about white people on show like Laguna Beach, The OC and just as distant of a social relationship as white people do with minorities, while simultaneously disregarding significant minority achievements over the years as 'flukes' or as 'selling out to whitey'

Now take how many X's you put and multiply it by 5...Then
post saying im % white.

**this was just tagged on at the end, I don't care if people actually take the survey.

[X] You went to a private school
For about 3.5 years - our school was a melting pot, my best friend was Portuguese.  To pay our tuition we painted the fence and helped lay the roof tiles on the new pre-k building.  I was trash canned regularly which is why I finished high school at a "scary" public school and my best friend was Hispanic.

[] You watch/watched the show Laguna Beach
There is such a show?

[X] You watch/watched the show American Idol (first season only)
I was strangely addicted, then it moved to a cable station, I'm too poor to subscribe to cable.

[] You watch/watched the show OC
No way!  I was an extra on it once, that was more than enough thank you very much.

[X] You know what a poncho is

[] You have listened to a band called Fuel


[X] You've shopped at American Eagle, Aeropostale, Hollister, Abercrombie &Fitch, Krew, OR Hot Topic
Clearance racks, yay!


[x] You have/had a dog that is NOT a pitbull
I also know many white people who have.

[X] You bend the bill of your hat
What?  It should be all straight and dumb looking?

[X] You own a pair of dc's/converse/etnies/vans
Yeah, it gives me white girl status.

[X] You/Your parent(s) drive cars with leather seats
Because my parents are just so white like that.

[X] Your main language is English
- Germans and Swedes are definitely not white then. (ha ha!)

[] You say the word DUDE a lot


[] You think cops are awesome


[X] You have absolutely no idea what twista is saying when he raps
Oops, I'm beginning to glow in the dark.


[X] You listen to rock
Cause you know, that's like the white folk anthem.

[X] You know who Willie Nelson is
Cause only old white dudes smoke pot and have to file bankruptcy.

[] your parents give you money when you ask
Yeah, they have a money tree in the backyard


[] Your parents just hand you money for no reason at all
Of course!  They fart money!

[X] You wear flip flops with a lot of your clothes
They are cheap and easy to put on, and I'm like the only girl in Bakersfield shuffling through the mall in them.

[X] You know what meatloaf tastes like
Unfortunately

[] You have said awesome more than 100 times in a week


Now take how many X's you put and multiply it by 5...Then
post saying im % white.

I'm like totally 60% white ... pretty accurate - now where is the test for my 5% black and 35% American Indian?

What a load of crap!

Its because of things like this we still have segregation. We are all one...one energy...one love...one earth.

Lets think about our planet for awhile as one race.

who cares if someone knows what meatloaf is and another doesn't.

come on people!

Ha, I read this when you posted it on Myspace... I have no interest in filling out the survey, but I think (hope) the general consensus here is that it's RIDICULOUS

posted by an1ok1joe on May 13, 2008 at 01:12 AM

Twista you told a lie

is what makes the internet/myspace so exciting.

posted by GayinOh8 on May 13, 2008 at 08:00 AM

 It may be ridiculous, but silly polls like this are certainly not the cause of nor do they perpetuate segregation. People do that, not polls.

Seriously. The things that get people all bent outta shape....

People set the public consciousness... the culture, which these things are part of.  I'm not suggesting that these stupid polls are the cause of anything, but they are a symptom.  I get more upset because I have to hear repeatedly about how minorites are kept down and how all white people have it so good, but among the rush to label white people as rich, evil, and whatever else might be a negative 'white' trait, people forget that minorities can be just as racist with no cause, and also that 'white' people are actually a diverse group of people themselves.  The only difference is, in this country in recent history, a group of white people have done some messed up things. This is part of a bigger picture to me. But every race is guilty of doing something to some other group of people.  Nobody is clean.

Right on Chase! I agree 100% mate!
