white problems 

Idle complaints to be distinguished from real issues like famine, war and terminal illness which actually matter.

E.g. Feeling vaguely unhappy in your hedonistic lifestyle, having no money because you routinely blow it all on un-necessary crap, losing the Internet connection in your studio rooftop apartment.

white girl problems 

Problems that only stereotypical middle to upper class white girls seem to encounter. To the untrained eye these problems might seem like a symptom of being spoiled, ungrateful, and overly obsessed with superficial appearances and material possessions. The truth is though life is like really hard.

White People Problems 

As defined by the great Louis CK in his concert film "Hilarious", these problems affect Americans in the middle to upper class. This is when your life is so amazing, that you make shit up to be upset about.

"Why do I have to choose a language on the ATM machine? This is bullshit, I shouldn't have to do that!"

This is in sharp contrast to real problems, experienced by people in other countries.
My English professor didn't truly grasp the depth of my thesis statement! ...By the way I know this doesn't matter at all, I'm just telling you my white people problems.

White People Problems 

a. Events or situations which are deemed overly taxing to only white people.

b. non-issues and scenarios which are deemed dire enough by white people to vent about via facebook, twitter, therapy sessions, and any other time they may have someone else's brief attention.
My god. I have had the longest day of meetings and phone calls. It’s 4pm and it took the Baristas – Who KNOW I come in at this time every afternoon – 10 minutes to make my triple machiatto with extra dry foam…. And honestly, the foam wasn’t even that dry.

FML. Struggling today.

white boy problems 

White boy problems are not real problems except for certain mostly middle class white men who are suburban home owners. While rare in non-whites, all Realtors, regardless of race seem to have them, and it has been noted to occur in virtually all suburban men in Des Moines, Iowa, regardless of race. These problems center around yard care, having the exact right glass for any cocktail, and having the right home electronics. It isn't clear if white boy problems are a consequence of sexual dysfunction, or are a psychological compensation for not getting laid enough.
Ted, "is Randy coming"
Fred, "no, he had a bunch of White Boy Problems stack up and is skipping the tailgating, and probably the game too."
Ted, "No way"
Fred, "He has a full day, a seminar at Williams Sonoma on proper beer mug frosting, his favorite author is autographing his latest yard care book at Barnes and Noble, and The Sharper Image is releasing a new manually operated Nose Hair Trimmer. Randy thinks it will cut down his carbon footprint."

I wish I had Ashley's white people problems. She told me she was sore because she has been so busy taking culinary classes for fun she hasn't been able to use all of the massages on her spa membership card, got one today and was out of practice.
