An assumption among some white individuals that all other white people share the same stereotypes about other races and/or racist views. This assumption leads said individuals to believe that is socially acceptable to make stereotypical and racist comments and jokes about other races to and in front of any other white individual.
Mark: "Man, I could not live in your apartment complex. You're like the only white guy that lives there and I own a lot of high-end electronics."
Andrew: "Dude, not only do you possess the white assumption, but didn't your car get broken into in YOUR apartment complex?"

Get the deja awsome mug.An example of the warning and logical criticism of "making assumptions".
One of a few fundamental false assumptions about human interaction and the internet that tend to make everything more complicated rather than simpler.
The assumptiont that everyone would be sane, ultimately have the best interest for everyone in mind, and that any conflict would only be some kind of misunderstanding.
And the assumption that everyone would have the same knowledge and background and that the key to understanding everyone and every single situation would be to take up some common clichés about human interaction or even "key topics" (see trivial "atheism vs religion", although atheism still wins).
Ironically only creates partisanship, stereotypes, and apologists of plainly inane or insane behaviour.
