    i think we already have a list to help out if you're buying gifts for white folx

    http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/

    There are some excellent gift ideas if you're planning on buying me a Christmas gift this season, but aren't sure what to get me because I'm white.

    Yeah. Racial equality is so stupid.

    Although I am also over the trying to prove there is a double standard. It is obvious.

    i think you didn't read the article's FUBU preamble:

    Of Color | Stylish Gifts

    it's not hard to find gifts created for and by people of color this holiday season

    yeah, I think he did. I think you just didn't understand his point, which was that "people of color" doesn't refer only to black people. The FUBU thing was a nice touch though.

    I think it's a dumb article, but maybe if you actually read the link further than one line, you'd see that there are numerous gifts targeted to other races- a book on contemporary Indian fashion, a book about your Sonia Sotomayor which I'm sure you'll be interested in, and one about makeup for asian faces, to name a few.

    But then again why bother reading anything you post? Just get a quick (probably wrong) impression and fire away- then hope nobody actually reads it and everyone just agrees with you.

    That's not what he's hoping for.

    He gets what he's hoping for.

    Enabling him is the gift that keeps on giving.
