Just hear me out.
I'm working a corporate type job where networks and connections are the only ways to get ahead/get promotions etc. There's a dinner coming up where all the "shoe-ins" for promotions are going to be attending and I got an invite as well
The only problem is these are some WHITE ass people. I mean high shorts and Crocs type dudes and Katy Perry listening red wine drinking white women. I need to rub elbows with these people and get into their circle, but I would like to do this without compromising any melanin.
I'll be sitting at a table for dinner with these people. What the hell am I supposed to talk about with them outside of work? I imagine most of the conversation will be about skiing, hiking, and mayonnaise, all of which I have little to no experience with.
Corporate brehs, how do you successfully interact with super-white people on a social level without c00ning?
Before anyone comes at me with that "Be yourself and talk about your interests" shyt, I can tell you right now that will not work, as I doubt these people are interested in East Coast rap, video games, and Bernie Sanders.
TL;DR: WHAT DO WHITE PEOPLE TALK ABOUT?
Don't take the thread title too seriously. I'm not trying to be 'white'. I just need advice on how to interact with people of entirely different cultural backgrounds on a social level.
