The website is funny: http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com/

And I don't know whether I should be embarrassed at just how close it hits to home.

Awesome! I like this the best so far:

"If white people could draft friends the way that the NFL drafts prospects it would go like this: black friends, gay friends, and then all other minorities would be drafted based on need and rarity to the region...It is generally accepted that a gay black friend with a child is considered a once in a lifetime opportunity - like a quarterback who can pass, run, kick, and play linebacker."

Because white people are afraid that if they don’t like him that they will be called racist.

#41 Indie Music

Funny that it's a picture of Stars, who were just on Conan last night.

But man, talk about uncomfortably close to the mark. [B)] But this bit is pretty funny:

"If you mention a band you like and the other person has heard of them, you lose. They own you. It is essential that you like the most obscure music possible."

[quote]Because white people are afraid that if they don’t like him that they will be called racist.[/quote] I'm suprised unwavering support for Isreal didn't make the list for similar reasons.

Very few of them applied to me but I think it's because those racists left out a lot of stuff. Let's make our own list! I'll start:

-Going to the grocery store on any date other than the first of the month.

-Giving our kids names that wouldn't score higher than 30 points if played in a Scrabble game.

<p align="justify">- The inability to pack 5 families into a 2 bedroom condo.

- White chicks who are 21, cute, and don't manage to have two kids by two different drop-out gang members (with the third one on the way[:)] ).

- Successfully resisting the urge to deface property by writing a nickname over and over and over and over.

- The feeling of entitlement based on merit[}:)]

Ripping off Jeff Foxworthy, you might be a whiteneck if.........

You own any dvd box set with the first word "Star" in it's title(Wars, Trek, Trek Next Generation, Trek Deep Space 9, Trek Voyager, Trek Enterprise, Gate SG1, Gate Atlantis)

You own any of the action figures, commemorative plates, Hallmark ornaments, framed posters, or trading cards from any of the above movies or tv series.

If you think NWA is an abbreviation of Northwest Airlines only.

If you think that grills by Paul Wall is something you cook steaks and burgers on.

"In order to fill the silence, white people will often turn to board games (Cranium!) or Wii Bowling. This lets everyone have fun together without having to really talk to each other, which is usually more fun anyways."

My best friend from grad school is black (her preferred term). When her parents and grandparents visited from back east for graduation, my dad held a party for us. After the BBQ, he went down to the basement and came up with an armload of Trivial Pursuit, Pictionary, etc., just as we always do for any family gathering. My friend turned to me with a look of horror on her face and said "Only white people do this!"
