I'm a middle-class white guy but I find most middle-class white people annoying as hell. They all seem to be robots - same cars, clothes, hairstyles...football, NASCAR, and fast food. What has happened to this country? No wonder everyone hates us.

They have to have what everyone else has, & most of them, I bet, are republicans...
I prefer open wheel, road racing & hate fast food, I make my own style, go my own way, have my own mind...not a republican!

You answered your own question! In part...I have the same feeling (and am also white and considered middle-class, though that "class" is rapidly being shoved into the "poor" category, due to Republican rule.
Possibly, you are only running into these NASCAR-loving robots because of where you live. Yes, most of the "heartland" (Midwest, South and Southwest) is probably swarming with this type of person, However, on the coasts, especially from N.Y. state up through New England (esp. Mass., which always gets trashed by conservatives for it's liberalism) and areas on the W. Coast, like L.A. (NOT Orange cty!), San Francisco and Berkely, you are FAR more likely to find people who are tolerant of different views, think "outside" the Stepford box, watch something besides Fox news and where you'd fit in much better!
I live in W. Mass., in which most people wouldn't look twice if you lived in a commune, drove a VW van painted w/flowers and mowed your "lawn" with sheep! It's a cultural hodge-podge and a wonderful place to live, where almost NOBODY cares, much less asks, what religion you are, much less what car you drive!
I think you should move (just stay away from Central Mass., which is a conservative backwater, for some reason)!

I'm white but I can utterly feel for you, I dislike most white people because they're overly sarcastic, lack empathy, act better than people around them, are uppity, TALK WAY TOO MUCH, and are mostly back stabbing, not that is a totally generalization, and I personally hate Biggotry among all things, but I can't lie, the vast majority of white people are like that and waiting in line someplace surrounded by people like that seriously makes me want to go nuts.

most of their items are the same as middle class are the highest taxed and therefore all basically live on the same income, they pay for the lower classes to survive, they pay for the public schools, the medical, the roads etc etc the lower classes feed off them, the higher classes laugh at them while enjoying their huge tax breaks.
i agree about the NASCAR thing though, I'm huge on car races, but that is just boring sh*t! Can't believe Ambrose left the excitement of Ozzie V8 Supercars to join that pus*y series.
and that reason doesnt come close to why everyone hates america.

I see your point. .
I mean, everyone SHOULD hate us, right?. . cause we have the same kind of cars and we like Nascar?
(I don't really like Nascar, btw [I prefer football], but that's ok, you seem to have made up your mind about all of us. . )
and who CARES if the rest of the world hates us? What difference does that make? Get a clue and then get a life!

some dislike that it becaue it type of feels to be a "colour component" yet almost everyone thinks it really is dumb. it originated from US prisons the position inmates at the instantaneous are not allowed belts therefor their pants are dishevelled. interesting actuality: dishevelled pants and revealed undies has been made unlawful in Pine backyard, MO.

I dont know, but you should concern yourself with more pressing issues. I dont think everyone hates us because of these things. It is probably because of american foreign policy accompanied with american tourists ability to be amazingly conceited. Then the things you mentioned above become the tell-tale signs of a middle-class american.
It is kindof embodied in you yourself. Look at your best answer ratio. 0%? 0 best answers? Only rabidly criticizing without offering any good answers to the problems?

EVERYONE doesn't hate us darlin! I have friends in Luxembourg and other countries besides our great USA. I hate to lump everyone together as a generic "THEY". And I am my own person and I bet you are, too. What's wrong with loving your country and just enjoying your life? P.S. that was me in the gas guzzling SUV import! LOL

ok, you have just defined what we call a "culture". a culture is a group of people with similar beliefs, values, and traditions. to say middle-class white people are "robots" is to say everyone is a robot, some robots are just in different categories than others. but wait, that's what people are too, with their cultures.
so throw out the whole robot thing cause it makes no sense. this question is asinine. if you can't find anything that you like about your culture, go find another culture that will take in someone as stubborn and immature as you.
