This week I totally love ... Stuff White People Like
Last week, I stumbled across this hilariously brilliant blog called Stuff White People Like. This week, it's on its way to becoming a full-on pop culture juggernaut.
The blog and its creator, 29-year-old Christian Lander, were on NPR this week, featured in the L.A. Times and shouted out by Kanye West. In less than two months, the site is closing in on five million hits.
It's basically an assimilation guide, written in such a way that it's teaching someone how to properly fall in line with white people -- in this case Prius-driving, $10-dollar-sandwich eating, Wes Anderson-adoring yuppy liberals who go to Oscar parties and know what's best for poor people.
Leave the "That's hilarious" vs. "That's racist" argument over there, it's happening in the comments of each post already. It's satire, folks. Damn good satire at that.
One note: I find the whole site better if you read it in Dave Chappelle voice.


Comments:
That's hilarious - I've been reading it in Kal "Kumar" Penn's voice for some reason.
