Apparently I'm only 14% white (which would've come as a surprise to my parents, and my siblings) — mainly, I suspect, because I'm old (70), don't watch TV (don't even own one), and don't dance (never have).
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

I got 10 out of 100 and was declared not white (with a picture of Colin Powel )
To be fair I may have scored higher if you count things I may have done before knowing any better (I may have said "uh oh spaghetti-o's" as a child but didn't count it as I can't be sure. (Am sure it was said in my presence not sure if I ever joined in)
Also the dancing thing never did and don't think I could get that drunk to do so. Especially now since the option of doing so for the chance of getting a "pity fuck" is effectively off the table.
Okay... There's all kinds of things wrong with what you just said.
You checked off 31 out of 100 possible white people scenarios.
You are not that white. You listen to country music, but prefer other genres, and even though you've done the Chicken Dance,[That never happened, not even once...the only way you could get me to dance is to shoot at my feet...]you really hate yourself for doing it. You do, however, have a special outfit for the Fourth of July.[Not true...well, unless of course you count the tri-corne hat....]
It seems to me that a better title for this quiz would have been, "How much of A 20-something, Vacuous, Celebrity Obsessed White Person Are You?"...
HAVE YOU EVER...
Felt bad for Lindsey Lohan? Taylor Swift? Conan O'Brien?
No, I have a finite quantity of sympathy available, so I don't waste it on rich people. I choose to use my sympathy feeling bad for children living in refugee camps...
Discussed Adam Sandler's movie career
Yes, on a number of occasions, but never in a good way.
Danced with glow sticks
I moved around on a dance floor waving a glow stick on a cruise ship once, but it would really be stretching the definition to call it "dancing".
Been jealous of a member of the royal family?
Who hasn't?
Since it's impossible to copy and paste the questions, that's as far as my commentary goes...

14/100; also declared "Not White". Does this mean that when the riots come I can claim that I am a 'soul brother' and keep my placed from being burned or looted?
Newsflash — some of the people who read Buzzfeed (or at least get directed to it from other sites) were born BEFORE 1990. I couldn't answer many of the questions because I had no effin' clue what they were talking about. Fer cryin' out loud, I even had to google "spirit fingers" because I didn't know if that's what the millennials are calling "air quotes" these days.
I may not be 100% pasty white with a name like Frederick Fauntleroy Framingham the 4th and dining on crustless cucumber sandwiches while enjoyed a couple of rousing chukkers of polo, but I sureinhell ain't "not white" either. -"BB"-
Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?
You checked off 14 out of 100 possible white people scenarios.
Congratulations, you are NOT white! You're the first of your friends to perfect a new dance move and never have to worry about what level of SPF you should use. Heck, you might not even know what SPF stands for and that's OK because the sun is your friend and that's cool as shit.
What a dumb quiz!
“In a world whose absurdity appears to be so impenetrable, we simply must reach a greater degree of understanding among us, a greater sincerity.”
This is a little off the subject but I found it interesting: My wife’s DNA results came in today. She is 100% honkey; 99% of it European and less than 1% North African. No black or American Indian. Her DNA doesn’t look like that of a real Southerner. The disgrace I am married to a Yankee. I jokingly asked about a divorce and she said forget I own you; you are my property. I was joking, but I am not sure she was.
Soon, I’ll post my farewell message. The end is starting to get close. There are many misconceptions about me, and before I go, to live with my ancestors on the steppes, I want to set the record straight.
What a ridiculous racist "quiz." White people don't dance? Black people don't sail?

Portland is for people who think Seattle is too uptight, and Eugene is for people who think Portland is too uptight. I'd rather live in Brooklyn, but I'm good with Philly. West Coast just isn't my scene.
Well, I don't dance. Not to say I haven't, but that was choreographed for the 2 musicals I was in. I have square danced because we were forced to learn it in grade school.
I don't sail. I've never been on a sailboat. I prefer my boats with 2000+ HP airplane engines in them.
As far as feeling sorry for Lindsey Lohan, well, yeah. Because she's a trainwreck. And I have this unhealthy fascination with trainwrecks.
No, I've never youtubed Ace of Base... but they are on my playlist.
Dumb "quiz". I can't see how anyone would "score" over maybe 40 on it.
Death is Nature's way of telling you to slow down.
I'm deeply offended. This quiz was designed to make white people look stupid. I want to sue somebody so I can buy a larger house in which to feel victimized.
I think I should be paid at least a couple of million dollars, not because I really want the money of course, but because that's the only way that the person who created this quiz will ever learn to stop causing pain and suffering by publishing quizzes like this...
Jim is absolutely right. Whoever created the quiz is not going to stop belittling white people unless he (or they) are forced to pay large amounts of compensation and punitive damages to someone like me and others who have been emotionally injured.
I have more years of experience than anyone here at being attacked emotionally and have had countless attempts made by others to drain me of my will to live, so don't even think about challenging me on this subject.
