Why I’m not #basic. And neither are you.

I might upset some people with this, but I really don't like this new craze of labeling things as "basic" or "basic white girl."  I mean, I get it.  And I realize that people are probably using this phrase sarcastically when they catch themselves being basic.  But y'all? You aren't...
