What is this sub exactly? I still don't get what "white people Twitter" is supposed to be. Someone please explain
I believe it comes from an old joke trend from years ago on reddit when people were naming their subs ____ people _____. "White People Twitter", "Old People Facebook", "Young People YouTube"
