For many people, the most difficult part of travel is all the logistics: booking rooms, transfers, figuring out where to eat and what to see. It can be a bit overwhelming. But for white people, the biggest challenges of traveling come not during the trip, but after. For you see, after a white person has returned from a trip abroad, they must then set about on a task more challenging than any journey: they must find ways to get other people to ask them about their trip.

It’s not easy. White people will put up photos, wear local clothing from their trip, and do whatever they can to induce someone to ask them about their recent travel. It would be so much easier if they could just bring the subject up themselves, but if a white person attempts to steer a conversation toward their journeys too often, they will seem pretentious. While this is accurate, being thought of as pretentious by people who are already pretentious is pretty awful. It’s like a group of very smelly people giving you a stick of deodorant for your birthday.
