Slog - Comments on White Stuff http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/02/white_stuff This 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....

White people like spelling and grammar, too; at least, this white person does. This is humor?

Wait, that might be most Blacks, or most Hispanics, I forget.

Race usually goes unnamed when associated with elite stuff...although I agree with others that this misses the target more than it hits

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.

It is stunning and HILARIOUS how accurate their analysis is. That instantly goes on my top ten blogs list.

(More things white people like: Top Ten Lists; Lists; Rankings.)

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
