White in present day is simply a stereotype. To be white means nothing more than the color of your skin and the stereotype that is attached to it. A stereotype that implies that white people are racist, corrupt, and "got no swag." Now back sometime 1780 for many whites it was more than a stereotype, it was probably true. Most whites were probably very racist and owned a few slaves to do their dirty work. Although now in the "land of the free" white can be anything we as whites portray it as. After all stereotypes don't just come out of thin air, they are derived from the history of the people being stereotyped and what was the norm for them. This stereotype also comes from a culture. The white culture listens to indie-rock, wear polo shirts, and has a steak and beer every night for dinner. Although these may be extremes from the culture they do pertain to a lot of whites in America. When I listed these traits it sounded as though I was stereotyping, even though that was my intent it shoes how people pull out what is "seen" as the norm of a culture and create a stereotype. If it angers you what connotations go along with being white, first embrace it then change it, make people look at you and go "uuu that white girls got swag."
