How are "white folk" different from "white people"?

 

[zipman]

Considering the incidence of skin cancer has risen dramatically for non-white folk, I would suggest that everyone use an appropriate SPF sun-block.

You're welcome.

I'm not white
but I do tend to burn easily

I always use SPF 30+

White folk has less syllables.


Having lived near the beach my entire life and never gotten down the art of tanning, I've given up and just use SPF 150, or whatever this year's highest number is.

I just read that SPF 30 blocks 97% of the harmful rays. Anything more blocks an additional 1%.

Talk of diminishing marginal utility!

As a non-white folk who is still translucent I wear 30spf every day no matter the season.

So fewer clothes than someone with 150 SPF?

That doesn't say how they're different from white people.

Folk like folklore, folk music, folk tales, folk art. People don't.

So the sunscreen warning only applies to white people who listen to Peter, Paul, and Mary, tell stories, and weave baskets?

FYI, all of PP&M listeners are white.

Most all the basket weavers here are Gullah.

Love those sweetgrass baskets.

Not all white people are PP&M listeners.

But are they tanning safely?

 

[Adre]

To buy them though requires winning the lottery. But, they are nice.

Nah, just lay off the beer for a week.

White people or white folk?

 

[RjThoughts]

I'm not totally non-white, tan easily. The last time I put sunscreen on, I burned!

 

[islandman]

I'm not totally non-white<SNIP>

What the hell kind of sentence is this????

 

[katieandakitty]

I prefer to use SPF 100. Such a nice round number. Oh, and of course it needs to be noncomedogenic. Gotta have it.
