Title: Why do white people like North Face clothing so much?
Post by: Himu on November 15, 2014, 12:13:55 PM
At work now because of the cold, everyone is wearing winter wear. All, or most, of the white people are wearing something North Face, whether it be a jacket, coat, whatever. They are all so plain and ugly but this is a yuppy brand line. Why do white people like consigning North Face? Is it the white FUBU except for rich people and way more ugly?

People wear North Face because they either want to show that they live in close touch with nature even though they're really city people driving a 500 hp suv or they're engineering dudes that are all about functionalty who consider actual fashion a sin against humanity. Both things are probably white people traits.

What's with white people owning clothing that's made from a chain or something, like this Salt Dog restaurant you guys are talking about. What's that all about? In Texas a bunch of white people wear this beaver mascot shirt. For the longest time I thought it was from some theme park I've never heard of but turns out it's the mascot for a convenience store called Buc-ee's. Buy clothing memorabilia from conviennce stores and restaurants? I don't get it. Someone Whitesplain.

Nothing can keep a cac warm during winter, Beezy. Their cold hearts and lack of melanin make for quite a toxic combination during this time of year. Listen to Simply Having A Wonderfull Christmas Time and tell me a happy, well adjusted warm bodied person could write that filth.
