My wife and I have chosen not to have children. We have virtually no experience with babies of any sort. Yesterday, we found an abandoned week-old kitten behind our back fence. It's been less than 24 hours and we are already offering her money if she will go back to sleep.
When I was in high school, back in the late 1970's, my friends and I would take the bus home each day. We were the typical D&D nerds, with all that and the late 70's implies. We would mess around on the bus, having fun and causing irritation to the rich kids who couldn't drive to school because they were either too young or had their license revoked (There were a surprising number of the latter. )
After we messed around enough, the richies would chide us for acting oddly. They would call us names. So we ran with it. A sample:
My friends and I up to our usual nonsense. Rich kid points at me accusingly: "You're strange!"
Me, pointing to my friend: "No, I'm Weird. He's Strange!"
My friend pointing to his brother: "Yes! I'm Strange, and this is my brother Maladjusted!"
There were up to a dozen of us, all sporting odd monikers, just to further annoy the straights. We'd all introduce ourselves, and bring the level of irritation to a crescendo. It was great fun.
They really hate being called 'weird,' huh?

I love how the OP concludes that roughly 60% of the world population is "White People".
Yep, that's pretty much it.

Another classic concept space model kit! I built this one as a kid, and have a couple in my current kit stash, so I can build them properly.
