Missing items seems to include exploring one's white heritage, supporting one's own cultural practices, morris dancing, folk singing, being 'white' artists i.e adding to the literature, music repertoire, learning foreign languages, preserving the heritage.
And did I miss drinking oneself silly and taking a pride in one's ignorance, illiberal attitudes and philistinism.

Good frikking GOD!!!....I read more of the articles. Whoever did that page has put some real effort into observing and cataloguing the habits, insecurities, mindgames, and pretensions of "White People".

You can feel a vague nausea building as you work your way down from one article through the next...and you realize that, yes, you do share some of these characteristics and foibles ascribed to "White People", although thankfully, you don't share all of them.

For instance: Yes, I was a nerd in high school and I had a really miserable time there, but I have since survived the experience and moved on...with my mental health, well, reasonably intact. Sort of.

Ha! Ha! Beautifully described.

Well, I remember seeing more than a few of those brittle social occasions when I was growing up and my parents were hosting them or going to them...my mother dithering around on the edge of a nervous breakdown in a frenzy of acute concern as to whether everything was as perfect as it HAD to be....but I have managed to totally avoid such dinner parties in my own adult life.

I just don't make it as a fully-fledged successful White Person, I guess... ;-)

I'm a conscientious objector.
