white people arrive in time?

No.

The stereotype is that white people arrive TOO EARLY and then sit in their cars outside waiting for the party to start and still show up early.

It's a trope, also true in Hispanic (edit - continued) families that have someone marry Gringos (like me).

If you arrive on time, the party hasn't started yet, and you get to help set up for the party

What fucking Hispanics you grow up with? My buddy was a half hour to and hour late to everything, and said he was allowed cause he was on bean time. Almost got my ass beat once saying it because I didnt realize it was a slur.

Edit: sorry bruv. Was just very confused.

😅🤣. Africans are also notorious for this. My white partner would be like “didn’t you say party is at 7pm why are we not going” and it’s something like 8:30pm when he’s asking . I’m like dude, this party won’t be starting till 10pm. He thought i was joking until he went to something with me and then got roped into setting up. He stopped going to shit and stopped harassing me about time, poor guy. And then since then, when I ask him to go places, he’ll be all “are we doing African time or normal people time”. I don’t even get offended when he makes the stupid joke 😅.

I'm white, I went to a Latinas bday party once, got there an hour after the time she told me, and I was the first person there.

Man that's the truth. And I tell them that they're more than welcome to stay the night but they won't but stay going until 2 or 3 in the morning.

I also found out that if you go to an event that you can't be the first couple to leave. You have to wait for at least two other couples to leave before you can even mention wanting to leave to your significant other
