It's funny because it's true.

My new favorite blog is Stuff White People Like.  Many of you have probably heard of it already because I've heard about it on NPR, from my brother, referenced on my friend's blog, and read about it in Newsweek.  But it is very funny.  Although I recognized parts of myself in many of the entries, I especially own up to numbers 12 (although I wasn't paid a competitive salary, so the last paragraph doesn't count), 16 (of course, did you expect anything less?), 25 (I've never laughed out loud so much reading a book before) 39 (but mostly because we were paying too many late fees and we're lazy), 44 (all day long!), 53 (pre-kid requirement), 64 (I might even be considered an "advanced" white person for this topic) and 78 (although I'm a fan of Spanish, apparently it's a "poor substitute").

None of this will make sense unless you go to the website and read the entries.  I could have been nice and made links for each of the numbers, but I wanted you to enjoy browsing through the website - click on the "Full List..." tab at the top for the easiest way to find everything.  Remember, don't take the blog too seriously.  It's all in fun and it's written by a white guy.

Now I want to know (for all my white readers out there) - Which entries describe you most accurately?
