You probably already know about this blog/book: Stuff White People Like, by Christian Lander
My husband thinks it's hilarious. At first I got all huffy-puffy and insulted when he showed it to me.... no one likes to be stereotyped after all.... but as I read through the list, I couldn't help but laugh & laugh. I am so that person he describes! Well, a lot of it anyway. As much as I hate to be lumped into some unoriginal clump of predictable "white people", sometimes it's good to laugh at yourself!
Here are just a few examples (it's even better to read the explanations behind each one on the actual blog)...
Stuff White People Like
- Picking their own fruit
- Religions their parents don't belong to
- Famers markets
- Moleskine notebooks
- Not having a TV
- Microbreweries
- Having gay friends
- Mad Men
- Multilingual children
- Hummus
- Hating people who wear Ed Hardy
- Wine
- Yoga
- Bicycles
- Taking a year off
oh and the list goes on and on and on!

hahahah, i would never have thought i'd fit into that book, but i am pretty much down with everything on that list. too funny.
Eek! I am checking off way too many "likes" on that list. So it turns out I am a stereotypical white person, after all? Oh well, so be it.
Thanks for the tip - checking out the blog asap. Hilarious!
