I'm pretty sure this is the "clander" who does most of the posts: http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/A15L5XLMF3V803 Notice the skin tone! Har.

What do black and brown people like? Now THAT would be hilarious.

Lighten up torrmoz, tis a joke. #62 is a bit flawed - as most poor people ARE white themselves, just not alterna lib white.

Agree to disagree. This site is hilarious. And since I was recently appointed the Emperor of Comedy, I'm right. Now, if you'll excuse me, there's an angry mob outside my window demanding democratic reforms...

Not a single one of the entries on that site rings true, nore are they even vaguely humorous. It looks like they don't know that for something to be a majority it needs to be over 50%. #71 Being the only white person around Ever heard of white flight? #62 Knowing what’s best for poor people Most white people don't care about poor people. #64 Recycling Most white people don't recycle. #67 Standing Still at Concerts This one is the ultimate in irony seeing as how the words are placed right next to a picture of white kids NOT standing still at a concert.

The book I mean. The movie is awesome. But then, I'm maybe just saying that because it's what white people like.

Elise, that's Hi-larious. You're right of course. What you don't realize is that it was a poorly written choose your own adventure book with an easy-to-get-into loop.

I was with a group of uhhh "chemically altered" friends when I saw the Never Ending Story in a drive-in. In the very first scene, I said, "Shouldn't the book be bigger?" And we laughed for the next 3 hours.

I'm white & didn't even know it driving my prius listening to non-danceable music.

I was at Spaceland last night, Standing Still at Concerts can be verified. But if you go to Temple Bar, this fact is not true. Samba night!

A friend just forwarded me this site last week. And the more I read it, the more pissed-off I got. Bicycles? Kitchen gadgets? Dogs? Dumb hip-hop songs? Snowboarding? Really? How 'bout "Stuff that Middle- to Upper-middle Class America Likes and We're Gonna Pretend Only White People Fit that Description"? How about "Let's Assume White People Have a Monopoly on Anything that Costs Money or Requires Education"? Some of the writing is funny [example: #26 Manhattan (now Brooklyn too!), #9 Making you feel bad about not going outside, #4 Assists], but some of it is just dumb. If you don't do this kind of thing well, it becomes insulting. Other thoughts? I'd be glad to hear 'em.
