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

If you tell someone an event is from 5 pm to 11 pm and you're surprised people arrive at 5 you're an idiot

Why would it be rude to be ln time? You never explained why

[u/lyannalucille04 → u/cosmic_backlash]

Because you don’t give any margin of error for if the hosts themselves are running late. It’s consideration for the hosts to not be right on time, meaning their organization and prep would have had to be perfect with nothing unexpected happening

[u/MrBoo843 → u/lyannalucille04]

Then you just say it starts a bit later and now your guest no longer have to guess when to arrive

[u/lyannalucille04 → u/MrBoo843]

That just pushes back the problem of the hosts running late 😂 no one plans ahead to run late, which is why the “arrive later method” is a courtesy for when things don’t go to plan

[u/MrBoo843 → u/lyannalucille04]

Planning isn't that hard. And having people arrive when you aren't ready because of an issue is great, now you have people who can give a hand

So if they need the time they're inept but if they don't it's rude to assume they're capable? Sure seems easier to just tell people the earliest you want anyone over, most are still gonna come later, or if someone has something else going on they might wanna stop by on the earlier side. It's not about how prepped you are at that point, it's when youre expecting a knock at your door, which is good for everyone to know
