I'm not a basic white girl, but I look like one

[LyaCartelier]

So I don't fit the discription of a basic white girl, personality wise. I don't wear make up (couldn't put it on if I tried), I hate hate hate shopping, I only like the lattes from Starbucks and that's because their coffee is better, and yes, I do paint my nails, but it's a miracle if they don't chip within the hour. I can barely stand listening to popular music, my favourite bands are Green Day, The Strokes, Twenty-One Pilots and The Killers. Taylor Swift? Never even heard Bad Blood.

And I hate Uggs.

But I wear leggings, knit sweaters, long cardigans, infinity scarves, knee-high leather boots and pencil skirts. So do I look basic? If I wanted to go as a basic white girl for Halloween, is getting a "PSL" as they call it (also never tried one of those) all that I'd have to do? And if that's true, is that a bad thing? I get compliments about how I dress almost every day. Should I be insecure about that now, because I might look stereotypical? I don't know.

So you're a basic white girl who likes a different genre of music and dislikes uggs? That still sounds like a basic white girl to me. I'm not saying that's a bad thing but you seem like you have a lot of pride in being unique, but everyone is unique. I'm pretty sure there's a quote like that. You're unique, just like everyone else.

The most stereotypical thing a girl can say is "I'm not like most girls"
As soon as I hear that, my knee jerk reaction is to think she is just like every other girl

[dandysandy]

this is so true and is the same for guys, like when they tell you, "i'm a nice guy" or "i'm not like most guys". if you pride yourself on being not like most girls or guys, chances are you're just like every other person that thinks they're a special snowflake.

[mishiii]

You a basic white bread honey. In fact it's laughable. You don't like popular music you can barely stand yet you can rattle off bands with the best of them. You hate shopping but you tell everyone exactly what you wear. You also sound like you're rich. I'm a graduate student at Stanford you know what I wear. Jeans and a sweatshirt. You seem to be about the superficial things that make you either an uptown girl or a white bread girl. And no I will not argue with you and you tell me all the wonderful reasons your different. Because you ain't. And be certain to put a yellow leaf in front to hide your face

[broadsword]

This is a lovely take there is on small error. This should be an up beat celebration of individuality. You sound amazing to me. Simply a little shy. For me with makeup less is more. You are you how you chose to dress and look is simply a part of your own persona. Don't conform to fit in to many people do that.
If the pictures are of you then you are a natural beauty don't change for any one. :)

[SidneyBeans]

You're just a basic white girl trying to be different than all the other bwg's bc you Don't like popular music... The killers, the strokes, and green day are all pretty popular (idk who that other one is haha)

Most basics feel like they are different than the others bc they have a different color nail polish, drive a hybrid, like to draw, or something but it's like, DUH, everyone has different hobbies haha!

[Other_Tommy_Wiseau]

"I only like the lattes from Starbucks and that's because their coffee is better", "But I wear leggings, knit sweaters, long cardigans, infinity scarves, knee-high leather boots and pencil skirts"... that's as basic as it gets, besides the uggs of course. do you say "literally" or "yaaaaaassssss"? can you even right now (or ever)?

[ThisDudeHere]

''I'm not like all the other girls.''

Said all the girls.

[M_A_X]

If you think you look stereotypical than you can do something to change that.

That's the whole reason why kids went goth or punk back when I was in high school

You can't ask the world to not see you how they see you. It's up to you to give off a different impression. I dated a girl like you once lol

Basic white men and women built western civilization.

A set of nations so awesome that blacks and arabs cry about discrimination and racism from whites... and will basically do anything to immigrate to white-majority nations.

That's like saying a "basic" mercedes. A great model is a great model.

[RationalMale]

Weren't you that guy ranting about how he was going to kill himself because he couldn't get a white girlfriend, @The_Empty? Guess you were too much of a pussy to even follow up on that!

[The_Empty]

Never said it was a white girl, and, I'd rather be capable of the lucid moments that make avoiding suicide necessary. You'll never be lucid enough to escape the stupidity of your racism.

[RationalMale]

@The_Empty

Actually it was about a white girl in something like five of your "girls don't want a black guy and I'm gonna kill myself now" threads.

And I can back up all the "racist" things I say with facts. ;) Too bad you can't argue against "racist" things with anything except your butthurt.

[The_Empty]

No, Rational_Boy, you look at bare bones statistics, and, like the typical moronic white supremacist, rather than look at causes for statics, you just throw your hands up and say "guess it's cuz they're black". Life must be hard when the only thing you have to feel good about yourself is your race.

[RationalMale]

Main difference is that when something bad happens to me or I fail a goal... I don't go "It's cause da man be holdin me down!" ;) Something called being responsible for your successes and failures, @The_Empty

But, I guess you wouldn't know anything about that! :D

They didn't build civilization. Ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and India all had earlier civilizations. Global trade existed long before we even realized it. Just not to the scale it is now. Actually, they uncovered a site in England that impressed historical scholars by how far reaching trade was. All empires rise and fall, Babylon, Persia, India, the Mongols, Ghana, Mali, etc. Knowledge spread from one civilization to another, and advancement simply continued to happen. Knowledge and civilization isn't monopolized by any race, they all contributed. The main reasons Europe came to power, was due to advancements in maritime capability, industrialization, and medicine. The maritime abilities allowed Europe to gain massive wealth through faster global trade.

"Basic white men and women built western civilization."

That's what I stated, @Northeast106 . I do quite know there are and have been for quite a long time, various other civilizations.

[Strider90]

That Empty headed teenager is just following his programming calling a white man ''racist''. He will never accuse of racism a black man who promotes Black Power. I had this one blocked long ago. Anti racist is a code word for anti white.

[John_Doesnt]

But the basic white girl complains about not being a basic white girl. So you still are a basic white girl.

[Grace_Rdz]

You like The Killers & The Strokes? They're my favorite bands ever! 😄

Anyway, so what if people think you're "basic?" fuck their irrelevant opinions and unnecessary comments. So what if you did listen to Taylor Swift, wore Uggs, or loved Starbucks? That doesn't have to be a bad thing and I don't understand anybody who thinks it is. It's stupid. You do you.

[CheerGirl38139]

Im over Uggs but I liked them in high school.

I HATE labels (especially derogatory ones).

But... you and I fit the basic guidelines of BWGs. As do the majority of my friends.

Move along... nothing to see here...

[cristiana]

you're describing yourself only from external things that are just the appearance and don't show who you really are. These are unimportant things

[roxyreigns]

it's my understanding that if you have to say you aren't a basic white girl, you are a basic white girl.

[Anonymous]

Saying "I'm not a basic white girl" is usually what a basic white girl says. Shout our to all my non-basic white girls like angelina jolie and nina dobrev

[jjmarvin]

I think you're placing too much importance on color. Just do what you want.

[Evil_romantic]

Wonder why white guys dont give a flying f*ck what others think, but white girls seems to obsess anout it?
If someone calls you that call them a basic whatever the hell they are and go about your day.

[samsw]

Not sure what you mean by basic white girl?
Dunno what PSL is (are?).

'Green Day'... GREAT choice !!! :-D

[mutedaisy]

Your favorite bands are popular music... Like totally mainstream.

[lanternhill]

It makes me sad that someone calls it a PSL. Or, apparently, many someones lol.

[Bookwik]

"a basic white girl"? what the hell is that supposed to mean?
