That White People Shit

I watched the trailer for this and that was more than enough. I am Black. I've been accused of "acting white" or "wanting to be white" my entire life, so I fail to see the humor in this. Sure there are activities that are heavily associated with white people- like colonization and genocide. But I can't think of a single activitiy that a white American has done that a Black American has not. This narrative perpetuates harmful stereotypes and gatekeeping. It's also hard to tell whether it was intended for Black consumption or White consumption- either way, they're laughing AT us not WITH us. And white people are angry at this because they think it paints them in a negative light when really it just perpetuates this notion that white people have hobbies and fascinations that Black people don't have the capacity to understand and appreciate. As a scholar I'm very disappointed to see this in 2021.

I'm seeing a lot of "this show represents X, Y, and Z" and "I only saw the trailer but......".

Just watch the damn thing. It's pretty entertaining especially as a white dude watching air guitar championships and professional dodgeball. It's ok to actually laugh once in a while and not take everything so seriously.

Of course it's white people getting triggered, but when Selama and 12 Years a Slave came out, black people NEVER once complained. The show is good and funny to watch, it's what every black person thinks about

I stumbled across this on Fuse/Sling and thought the title was a mistake so I checked it out. Pretty cool to watch a black comedian try to make us the audience laugh while the white people standing next to him are just, wondering if and when they should say something. Everyone I saw seemed to be good natured and I hope it stays that way. Frankly I (am white, but grew up in the country) didn't know welding was a white thing. My stepdad and mom were both welders and they worked with a diverse group of almost all men. I hope we can all learn how each other thinks and understand it.

I laughed all through this show. Can't wait for more.
