I can’t quite decide.
I found this book at Skylight Books in LA (an independent bookstore we can spend hours in…until we start to feel nauseous, like we might actually vomit words): Stuff White People Like. Here’s a list of some of those things…which I do happen to like.
Vegetarianism/Veganism
Coffee
Irony
Self-deprecating humor
Bikes
Jon Stewart/Steven Colbert
Arrested Development
Brunch
Liberal Arts Degree
Wanting to be a writer
Natural childbirth
The New Yorker
Farmer’s markets
Don’t know if I should laugh or be very offended that the author is making fun of a lot of good things. Hello, what’s wrong with farmer’s markets? Bicycles?
Anyway, how white are you? Or maybe you’re not. Regardless, there’s probably a list out there for you too.
