In this thread, people list their favorite things about white people. White culture, white art, white sports, white fashion, technology, political structures, etc.

Black people, Asian people, and Negro people are encouraged to participate. What is your favorite thing about whites?

I appreciate white people's capacity to cooperate unselfishly and to strive to be experts in their fields. I think that's my favorite thing about white people.

What do you like most about white people?

[careinke]

I like white people because they pay the vast majority of the taxes to keep the government running, and they are easy to manipulate by using guilt.

[BigTex]

I like white people because they can have fun dancing even though they know they're not as good at it as some of the other groups.

They're also excellent conquerors.

Ignorance attacking ignorance...what a waste of time...this thread should just be deleted

I love all the diseases we created by fucking our domesticated animals and how those diseases preceded us before we conquered inferior peoples with no resistance to domestic-animal-fucking-related diseases. Germ resistance has been one of our greatest accomplishments.

Other than that, I really do love classical music and our old architecture. And where would we be without the French Revolution? I really like the guillotine. Feel better now?

I really do like classical music and the old architecture. Have to add a ton of literature to that list too. Can't forget the philosophy and heritage of the ancient Greeks either.

Classic rock from the likes of Pink Floyd make my list as well. Check out this old video of Echoes filmed in the ruins of Pompeii, 1972.

European art, French cuisine, classical music, Italian design.

That's about it, I guess.

(BTW, Ayoob, your comment about "cooperating unselfishly" is bizarre given the history of Europe, which is a chronicle of one war after another.)

A few questions:

1) What does "white people" mean?
2) What do the various "white people," whoever they are, have universally in common?

There is no such thing as a 'white' person. Anyone who believes in such a thing is rather ill informed. Where precisely on the Eurasian land mass do people stop being 'white' and become... what? oriental?

The "Black people at PO" thread wasn't reduced to enough stupidity?
What do you have against albinos??

The group of homo sapiens generalized by lack of melanin pigmentation--by which I think you mean specifically those of European decent currently residing in North America--I love them because of the following (that is, outside the fact that my momma and daddy are white):

The poorer fractions thereof were smart enough in the 1700s and 1800s to take their indigenous fiddles and get together with some black folk and their indigenous banjos and came up with this:

Old Time music.

A tune commemorating the abolitionist John Brown.
