Have I told you how "gifted" Jack is?

The following is an excerpt from a "Stuff White People Like" (SWPL) calendar. If you don't know what SWPL is, it's a satirical web-site/company that makes fun (all in jest... kind of) of... you guessed it... stuff white people like. You know, like jazz, hummus, peacoats, scarfs, tea/lattes, yogo, making you feel bad for not going outside, import beers, sea salt, anti-oxidants, organic food, farmer's markets, etc.

If you have not run into a person as described below, then you have not lived. But I am betting you have. Maybe you just haven't hung out with The Mills Clan enough.

Anyway, here is it (enjoy your friday):

"Gifted Children

White peopel love"gifted" children. Do you know why? Because an astounding 100 percent of their kids are gifted! Isn't that amazing?

But wait, aren't there white people who aren't doctors or lawyers, or even all that smart? Well, here is another one of those awesome white person win-win situations. If white kids get crappy grades and can't seem to ever do anything right in school, they are still gifted! How you ask? They are just too smart for school. They are too creative, too advanced to care about the trivial minutiae of the day-to-day operations of school.

This knowledge is important if you ever find yourself needing to gain the acceptance of white people. But never under any circumstance imply that their child is less than a genius. The idea that something could come from from them an have less than greatness is too much for them to bear."
