The first thing I see when I clicked on the "Stuff Asian people Like" is Asian Supermarkets. (Nods Head)
So far this blog doesn't strike me as being about things white people like... it's about what I imaging people from Seattle or Portland would like. More specifically it seems to describe most of my liberal friends. Is the blogger trying to say that the Pacific Northwest is the most whitebread in the U.S.?
Maybe it's the fact that I overslept, forgot to take my meds, was late to work, and haven't had caffeine yet - I didn't find this funny. I'll try again in a few hours.
http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com/2008/01/18/1-coffee/ White people all need Starbucks, Second Cup or Coffee Bean. They are also fond of saying “you do NOT want to see me before I get my morning coffee.” White guys will also call it anything but coffee: “rocket fuel,” “java,” “joe,” “black gold,” and so forth. It’s pretty garbage all around.
I started reading a different blog by one of the guys who posts on the stuff white people like blog, clander, he has a blog about NCAA 2007 and 2008. The first thing I noticed was that after he got his copy of 2008, he decided to be the coach of SMU and he photoshopped a press release from SMU announcing his hiring. He was previously the AD for the Arizona Wildcats and their was a quote from one of his previous star players who was drafted overall number 1 by the Texans in the 2017 draft: So looking over it, it seems he likes to make up these hilarious backstorys for his players. This guy who ended up going to the Texans has drug problems and was in a bad relationship with an aging Lindsay Lohan:
This website cracked me up, not so much because of the content (doesn't apply to me directly) but the way it's said, as if they're taking a scientific approach to study us like we're caged animals. They could easily rip on the hillbilly stereotype of white person, but it's been done. They can't do the average white person...cause they're pretty much just like the average person of other races. So they take the yuppie thing, which is a pretty white club.
I didn't think it was funny at first but it got funnier. I have been annoyed with this type of stuff for a long time. I think my sister fits under almost every category. These made me laugh: #4 Assists #8 Barack Obama #9 Making you feel bad about not going outside (holy hell I have some friends like this) #28 Not Having a TV #51 Living by the water I am completely guilty of this when it comes to food, but it works when trying to find good food. Many white people will look into the window of an ethnic restaurant to see if there are other white people in there.
#30 -- Wrigley Field is the one that made me realize how genius this blog is. Wrigley Field is a ****hole, but white people act like it is the holy grail of all things good about sports. NO.
I'm black and I used to do the same thing if I was going to some unfamiliar restaurant. Now I don't really care anymore.
Wow, check out this retort to the blog ... should strike a chord with some people on clutchfans. BTW, I am an asian american who has grown up in "white America"... http://www.halfsigma.com/2008/02/is-the-author-o.html
Agreed. It kind of has a "Real American Hero" Bud Light Commercial feel to it. I like how the stereotypes are written as absolutes. "White people will be glad that you..."
I'm 100% convinced the author of the blog is white. Plus it's more than one person. Clander and Mylosh are the names of the bloggers. Clander is the one with the NCAA football videogame blog. EDIT: Oh, I totally forgot, he uses his real name in the NCAA blog, Christian Lander. That's not an asian guy's name. Looking at the photos on the right side of the stuff white people like page, there's a link to "Jess's Photos" on Flickr. She has pics of her boyfriend/husband, Christian: This is the main writer of the Stuff White People Like Blog
