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.

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 People Problems 

A general term used to describe the piss poor priorities of upper/middle class citizens in developed countries, as they complain more about ridiculous over exaggerated bullshit (like marriage, where to eat, how to eat, getting their clothes messy) than actually trying to solve any of the real issues in the world like debt, starvation, corrupt governments, equality, diseases, poverty, etc.
Examples of White People Problems vs actual issues:
Average American Citizen:
"OMFG I Got grass stains on my white shoes! These are unwearable! I can't walk out in public like this!"

(He then throws the shoes away)
Homeless person who does not have shoes :"What the fuck are you bitching about"

White people issues in the royal family:
Prince: "Bloody mary, I need to find a woman, if I do not then the entire government will fall" (he then finds one and broadcasts the shit to the media)
Refugee Who escaped from a corrupt middle-eastern regime: "What the fuck are you bitching about?"

Another example is the Trump campaign.

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
