What is WPS on TikTok?
WPS is an abbreviation for “white people sh*t” or “white people stuff” on TikTok. It’s used to describe things that people who are racially white are more likely to do.
Over the past few months, WPS has become a trend of its own on TikTok. It mostly sees people of color, as well as some white people, posting hilarious videos of TikTok users doing strange things and calling them WPS aka “white people stuff.” It especially became popular after a couple’s viral video on the platform where they walk around icy Ohio barefoot.
The activities deemed as WPS on TikTok range from walking barefoot on a snow-covered street, to kissing a horse on the mouth. Some more risky videos deemed WPS include cuddling a crocodile and more. Not only are people mentioning WPS in their videos and TikTok comments, the slang also has a dedicated hashtag.
