Am I too White?

[Tips_of_Fingers]

Classic =/= Country or blue grass
If we are speaking stereotypes, you'd more likely be a snob or obsessive-compulsive than excessively white. Then again, how do you define "white" in terms of personality?

ha, this. Although I was going to go for the idea that you're stereotypically some sort of Private School English tutor with leather patches on the elbows of your suede jacket.

Also, being a Goth makes you too white (ha, see what I did there?)
In all seriousness though...no it doesn't make you "too white". No idea where your friends pulled that stereotype from but they need to review these things before saying them. Get them to back up their statement with statistics of how many white people listen to Classical music and how many Black people. You could also go for Asian and Indian while you're at it too just to get them really working hard!!!

Nah, man. The music you listen to don't make you black or white.

Hehehe... he's so white he would make Casper look like a flying turd.

 

[oooooooooooooooooooooooooo]

Not at all. Musical taste, and taste in any art form at all is purely personal and for self pleasure, its not about social status, or at least it shouldn't be. As it was once put so well, you can't fake it, you'll end up hating the medium if you try.

... does that mean that not liking classical music makes you black? These is pretty murky waters. Also Yoyo Ma isn't white and he seriously isn't the only non-caucasian who plays and composes classical music.

Nope. This just means that some of your friends are very narrow minded and insecure about 'being cool'. If you like something, you like it. There's a reason why classical music is still listened to these days. It is good. The stuff that has made it to the current day has survived the test of time, unlike Generic Rap Song #31,432 or Forgettable Pop Ballad #8,824,482.

Warning following post is sarcastic:
Well since you didn't post an image of yourself I can't 100% say if you're too white or not but just in case: Yes get out in the sun a bit more and get a healthy looking tan, it will suit you.

 

[Artina89]

Because you like classical music you are "too white"?

....... I don't get it. Am I missing something here?

I am currently listening to Der Freischutz. Does that make me "too white" as well?

 

[astrav1]

Well if fyou are in fact white, then yes I suppose being white makes you a white person.

 

[Exterminas]

It's funny how your friends, who seem to have some kind of anti-racialism-agenda, by emphazing the value of "black" (read: non-white) cultrue, in contrast to european culture, actually commit an act of racism by implying that a non-caucasian person can't like classical music.

And also, is listening to classical music even a stereotype for white people?

No, but being nerdy is. Playing D&D would be considered too white as well, amongst other stuff.

Raping communities, Pillaging villages and all in the name of the lord, its alright being white.

Just recently, I bought out the entire collection of Beethoven's music (in terms of 'Data', it would have to be around 18 GB's of MP3's I guess) and have most of them on my Phone to listen to while taking the Metro.

The thing is, I'm a 22 year old guy and straight. Yet after some of my friends finding out my music consisted mainly of violins and Piano's, they came to the logical conclusion that I am either very very 'Metrosexual', and when they found out it was a classical composer, they came to the new theory that I am 'White as white can be'.

So my question: Am I really 'too white'? Please note all responses will be recorded for QA.

No, you are not white. Now if you actually were white as my walls then yes, you are literally white as can be, but thats not the point. Look at it this way, there is no problem with liking classical music. I do, mostly because I play the cello, and that doesn't mean there are any problems with me. If you really want people to stop calling you white there are only a few solutions, 1, do something to make yourself "edgier"/stronger, aka, work out, become bigger and better than everyone else. They won't call you white and you will get more respect from most people. 2 is to do something like skydive or something like that. If your not willing to do something like that (i mean, who would), then just ignore it and it will go away.

I'd say you're more of a tope.

 

[MikailCaboose]

Well, if you are actually white, then it doesn't really matter.
And if you aren't it still doesn't matter.
And also, is listening to classical music even a stereotype for white people?

Apparently it is now!

I don't even understand and I agree wholeheartedly.

Maybe it's because I grew up playing the piano, but I have a certain fondness for classical music. Plus I'm not really sure how much connection liking classical music has with being white...

Its RGB ehm... code? 3x 255 is absolute white, 3x 256 doesnt exist.

Meh, I don't do a lot of headbanging these days.
But I've still got the mettle to metal - and if I were to bang, I'd probably go for some Spineshank.

Or some old school Rob Zombie.

I think you've got the wrong thread buddy.

In all honesty that does sound pretty white, is there music you enjoy that isn't mostly classical?

 

[Elburzito]

'Too White'? That sounds silly...
Be proud of who you are, you don't need to change because of other people.

 

[Skuffyshootster]

No, you're friends are just philistines.
