Not a particularly successful one--I'm pretty good at being white--but yes.

Yeah, I tend to stay out of the sun so I am pretty damn white tbh.

I am a straight, white male, and I'm becoming increasingly aware that straight, white males are the one demographic I might have an insurmountable prejudice against. It's complicated.

"are U a straight white male" - one way to answer this is to say that U is a letter, and is singular. So the question might be better as "Is the letter U a straight white male?" And the answer would be no. Because it is a part of the alphabet.
― Ye Mad Puffin, Sunday, 12 July 2015 01:32 (eight years ago) link
The alphabet should really include some straight white males.

I'm lucky enough to be both white and to have been racially abused as a child for being insufficiently white, best of both worlds. And I'm a straight man.

Hello, let me introduce you to ilx.

I don't think it has to be silly or hostile. I'm interested in seeing the results of this poll.

i'm going to state the obvious: yes, it would be entertaining to know if ILX really does conform to this stereotype. (2/3 here, btw)

yes, it would be entertaining to know if ILX really does conform to this stereotype
yes, we may safely assume that internet polls are always entirely accurate

Awesome iconic longtime poster just boils over in peak frustration and quits and the procession of "SWM here, look at me, arent we the worst?" posts doesn't so much as even hiccup...
