I decided to glance at the wordpress.com home page when a “featured post” caught my eye. The post was titled “#82: Hating Corporations,” and it was the latest article from a blog called Stuff White People Like. The post was a satirical look at the No Logo / Adbusters segment of anti-globalization armchair activists, and it was pretty funny. Exploring the blog a little more, I found that it was basically a numbered list of various stuff that, supposedly, white people like. It might be more accurate to say it’s a list of stuff that white hipsters like, but not exclusively, and either way, it’s a humorous, satirical example of self-parody (it’s written by a white guy). Other things that white people like include:
- #10 Wes Anderson Movies
- #63 Expensive Sandwiches
- #50 Irony
- #62 Knowing What’s Best for Poor People
- #70 Difficult Breakups
- #41 Indie Music
- #40 Apple Products
- #75 Threatening to Move to Canada
- #81 Graduate School
Anyhow, check out the blog. If you like laughing at white people, it’s definitely worth a read.
