stuff white people like

My favorite new blog is "Stuff White People Like," a funny and sometimes scathing "guide" (written, I believe, by a white guy) for other races wanting to fit in with white people or gain their respect. 

A few of my favorite quotes:

When engaging in a conversation about corporate evils it is important to NEVER, EVER mention Apple Computers, Target or Ikea ....... White people prefer to hate corporations that don’t make stuff that they like.

All white people want their children to speak another language. There are no exceptions. They dream about the children drifting in between French and English sentences as they bustle about the kitchen while they read the New York Times and listen to jazz.

White people will often say they are "spiritual" but not religious. Which usually means that they will believe any religion that doesn't involve Jesus.

The Toyota Prius gets 45 miles per gallon. That’s right, you can drive 45 miles and burn only one gallon of gasoline. So somehow, through marketing or perception, the Prius lets people think that driving their car is GOOD for the environment. It’s a pretty sweet deal for white people. You can buy a car, continue to drive to work and Barack Obama rallies and feel like you are helping the environment!

Every white person takes at least one trip to Europe between the ages of 17-29. During this time they are likely to wear a back pack, stay at a hostel, meet someone from Ireland/Sweden/Italy with whom they have a memorable experience, get drunk, see some old churches and ride a train. What’s amazing is that all white people have pretty much the same experience, but all of them believe theirs to be the first of its kind. So much so that they return to North America with ideas of writing novels and screenplays about their experience.

Recycling is part of a larger theme of stuff white people like: saving the earth without having to do that much.

The number one reason why white people like not having a TV is so they can tell you that they don’t have a TV.
