Life White Stuff
posted by February 15 at 9:30 AM
onThis blog claims to be about “stuff white people like.”
But I think it’s really about stuff liberal white people like. But it is possible to see in this comic blog a kind of truth. We can say that liberal white Americans (their personal goals, eating habits, political and social concerns) have become the standard, the measure of success, the center to which all other members of the race (and those outside of the race) are heading.

sushi, small dogs, beaches, and produce.
What a relief! All this cultural pluralism was pulling me in a million different directions.
The White Stuff? Isn't that a movie about astronauts?
isnt that what i put on my GF's face this morning?
apologies to gwee
Stereotype humor pretty much writes itself, doesn't it?
stereotype humor is only funny when its over the top. like jews cast tornadoes.
I'm sorry, I couldn't get past "hybird car". White people like spelling and grammar, too; at least, this white person does. This is humor?
i thought the white stuff was what i put up my nose on the weekends.
my personal favorite in this genre is white whine
Who told you our secrets, Bellevue Ave?
That blog is really, really stupid.
"Ooh, make fun of recycling! That's EDGY!"
I cannot roll my eyes enough.
No we can't. I'm white, and I have no interest in the accoutrements of liberalism.
Most white people like double-wide trailers, Budweiser Beer, Hostess Snacks (mostly Twinkies), guitar music, Kool-Aid and Fast Food.
Wait, that might be most Blacks, or most Hispanics, I forget.
I'll wager the Clintons are behind this.
@13 I think the joke is that the stuff you mention is already considered "White trash", but the liberal stuff could be considered white too. Race usually goes unnamed when associated with elite stuff...although I agree with others that this misses the target more than it hits
@13: I think that's poor people, actually.
Ok, the double-wide trailer is white trash, but the rest is just white. In most white middle class homes you'll find at least 3 out of the six things I've mentioned.
I forgot to mention that white people love blogs.
Let's start a betting pool to see how quickly Barack ends up on the list...
I think they left off fried chicken, watermellons & cadillacs. Oh, wait, I think I'm getting my stereotypes confused.
Oh no! Now everyone’s going to know we like vegetables!
I like sushi and beaches, but hybrid cars are for poor people. All the in-crowd want plug-in hybrids. 100 mpg is the way to go.
When is porn going to make it on the list? White people like porn, right?
Funny! And what's even funnier is how chafed a lot of the commenter's are! HAHAahahahaha! Most of that site is true.
I don't know, I think the site is pretty funny, and as a white liberal I find that many of the stereotypes are describing me or many of the people I know.
Oh, and 18?:

@4: Lucky girl...
I like the blog. You could call it "Things Seattle Yuppies Like" and it would have the same impact.
Is basically describes every white person I know in Seattle to a T.
LOL
Oblviously whoever wrote this has never seen Heavy Metal Parking Lot.
Hilarious. They nailed it. The bike stuff, especially--that's my boyfriend and I to a T.
Suck it up, fellow whiteys.
Do they have Wayne Brady and boobs?
I like Charles!
They nailed me on ten of them, but the rest not so much.
Late to comment but I will chime in anyway. It is stunning and HILARIOUS how accurate their analysis is. That instantly goes on my top ten blogs list.

Out of context but somewhat applicable:
"What one's imagination makes of other people is dictated, or course, by the laws of one's own personality, and it is one of the ironies of black-white relations that, by means of what the white man imagines the black man to be, the black man is enabled to know who the white man is." –James Baldwin
