Things that I find to odd

A very popular topic of conversation amongst the people I know seems to be about how a place is not as cool as it once was because of X reasons. Sometimes these reasons are more then valid, but a lot of the times they are just rather silly. In the interests of full discloser, I am just as as guilty of making up some truly moronic reasons not to go to a place anymore. However, the one that I find to be the most perplexing is this one, "that place has just gotten to white lately..." Now, if this was coming out of the mouth of someone who is not white, I would have two thoughts on the subject.

1) Wow, thats a rather fucked up raciest thing to say.
2) Yeah, I see what you mean.

However this tends to come out of the mouths of various Anglo-Saxon people in my life. Ironically I have the exact same reaction to this statement from them, but for wildly different reasons. Even more stunning is that I am supper annoyed when the later group says it. None of this is particularly fair, but it does happen. I am not even terribly sure why I would give a pass to all the people of the rainbow but one, but I tend to. I am not actually a fan of anyone using logic like this about a place, but I am even less of a fan of hypocrisy. I do not understand how anyone can fault a place or group of people for doing exactly what they are doing themselves. This is pure silliness. You can not be the loan cool individual of any group. Life simply does not work that way. Well, unless of course you are hanging out with a bunch of kids who like SKA a whole bunch, and you hate it. If that is the case, then you are light years cooler then your counter parts, but still not that cool since you are hanging out with people who like SKA...
