White people by Smosh

OK but why is this so relatable? Why are you always smiling like that??

i hate this. im going to think about this everytime i do this now. its like that fucking white people running across the road post im so pissed.

@itsmikuisa in my experience, both from asking my friends and being white myself, it’s because there seems to be some unspoken rule that all white children be raised thinking YOU HAVE TO SMILE WHEN YOU GET SOMEONE and at some point we all allow that to degenerate to “this looks kinda like a smile and I am acknowledging you therefore my job is done”

Yeah, it’s basically an acknowledgement of “hey, you’re there, I see you’re there, I’m aware that you’re there, and I’ve acknowledged you”, but it’s hard to smile on command when you really just want to get on with what you’re doing. I know it probably doesn’t seem like it, but it’s meant to be a courtesy, and we do it to each other, too.

this post explaining White Culture

i was never taught to do this and its always confused and alarmed me when people i dont know smile at me but then i thought u were just Supposed to as of about a year ago and have recently taught myself to do this and immediately after i teach myself to do this this starts going around i hate this
