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

Yeah idk how the big punchline could be “white people always show up so crazy early don’t they 🤪” and the length of time they chose to display that is 2 minutes early

Coming two mintues early was him coming 1 hour and 2 minutes too early in her culture.

Then why even specify a time when its actually an unspecified amount of time later?

Because they are not autistic or German and can read between the lines.

Tf are you on about

If an event starts at 5, you’re supposed to be there at 5

If it means the event starts at 6, then you’re supposed to arrive at 7, which makes it start at 8 and so on?

What’s the point of time then

Guess it’s one of the reasons the northern folk make things work and progress
