If BuzzFeed had any bit of credibility left, it's gone now.
Their article starts off with four words: "First of all, America." We really hope this is satire, but somehow we have a feeling it's not.
Patrice Peck, the author, goes on to list "37 things white people need to stop ruining in 2018" through a series of embedded tweets and pictures:
1. Macaroni and cheese
Cocoa Butter: "Why are y'all out here doing the most?!"
2. Protests
Yashar Ali says, "WATCH: Apparently @KendallJenner and @pepsi have taken over Black Lives Matter. Not kidding."
3. K-Pop
Fake News CNN writes, "Introducing EXP Edition -- the first K-pop group to be made up entirely of non-Koreans"
4. Sneaker culture
Young Black Jesus says, "bella hadid talk like a undercover cop"
5. Makeup
'vikashapel' goes on to say, "Something fun is coming to YouTube, idk if there is a challenge like this but we haven't seen it so Im calling it The chocolate challenge! Come watch us transform into deep chocolate skintones from our pasty pale."

In response to another user's comment which mentioned how a number of trees were outfitted with 'anti-bird spikes' in hopes of protecting expensive cars from bird droppings, LongShot DDS writes, "How you gentrify trees? That's where birds LIVE."
