white refrigerator

A white refrigerator. If someone has a white fridge in their kitchen, this is a signifier that they are likely poor or lower class. Conversely, someone who has a stainless steel fridge is less likely to be poor. However, many households who previously had a white fridge as their main fridge, and may have accumulated income to buy a better fridge, keep their former still-functioning white fridge in their garage, basement, or hallway as a secondary fridge in addition to their better primary stainless steel fridge.

I went over to his parents' house and they still had a white refrigerator... I think he grew up poor.

vintage white

A descriptor for a white European person, usually male, who immigrated to the United States as an adult. Coined by comedian Michelle Buteau.

"He's from the Netherlands, so he's like vintage white. There isn't too much of a difference though, all it really means is that he knows how to ride a bike and has foreskin."
