Stuff White People Like...


If you haven't read this book, you should. It is hill air force base to the max. It is so funny to read about someone making fun of your own race. Especially when a lot of them have some truth to them.

A few of my favorites...

Pea Coats
Another common characteristic of the coat is that white people will write their names on the label inside the coat. This is not done for fear of theft, but rather as a necessary precaution against party mixups. You see, when a white person attends a party in the winter time they will often be required to put their jacket in a room with literally dozens of other pea coats! Since these coats often contain ticket stubs to the same concerts and identical Trader Joe’s receipts, it can be impossible to find the original owner without a name written inside.

Facebook

If you plan on befriending white people, it is essential that you join them in the digital suburbs and open a Facebook account immediately. It’s also a good idea to make up a story about how someone from high school sent you a friend request and after accepting you discovered that they were fat and unsuccessful. White people love these stories.

Girls with bangs

If you see a white woman and you are trying to figure out whether she is liked or just merely tolerated by white people, the best thing you can do is get a quick look at her haircut. It is a known fact that white people love women who wear their hair with bangs that hang straight down. When you are introduced to a group of white people, it’s a good idea to befriend the girl with the bangs. She’s probably the most popular.

I love that book. I even made Aubs read it over the summer after she made her "word" joke during summer school and she and I died laughing and nobody else understood. I love his blog too...I have been reading it for a long time :)
