White People on Vacation
White People on Vacation | Alex Miller
1 post | 1 read
White People on Vacation is a story about the struggle to live a meaningful life in the era of late-stage capitalism. More specifically, it is about a group of college students (white) who take a vacation (cursed) to Hawaii, which is paid for by their parents (loaded). Everybody has a terrible time in this portrait of clueless haoles attempting to leverage their generational wealth and skin color to attain the good life. White People on Vacation is a beach read for socialists, a swan song for human aspiration in the age of climate apocalypse.

Poor Nate and wealthy Natalie, together since middle school, are nearing college graduation. They go to Hawaii for Christmas break with friends and we are some spectacularly bad behavior. Nate‘s passive but a decent guy, but a couple of the characters are so toxic. I liked the idea and bits are funny, but I wished the author had pushed a little more. Low pick.
