Priceless

Stuff White People Like…. genius. Somehow I think this guy is making fun of me. Especially when the first thing I read was #75 “Threatening to Move to Canada.” It was like having a wagging finger pointed in my face… I started using this line right after the first Bush election hanging chad debacle…. (though to be totally honest, I would rather move to Australia).
Excerpt:

Within white culture, it is agreed upon that if Canada had better weather it would be a perfect place.
Being aware that this information can be used quite easily to gain the trust of white people. Whenever they say, “I’m moving to Canada,” you must immediately respond with “I have relatives in Canada.”

When I read this, I immediately thought: I DO HAVE RELATIVES IN CANADA.
On the end of the article he adds these notes:

Note: Canadian white people threaten to move to Europe.

Note: Europeans are unable to threaten to move anywhere.

I actually cried reading some of the posts. I probably looked like a crazy person in the cafe where I was sitting on my laptop… which should probably be the topic of a post in and of itself. “Blogging” too…

I love Irony, oh wait… that is #50.

There is a great opinion article in the LA times about the author too:
White Like Us

The author talks about how he is making fun of himself and other upper-middle class white people in our society. We all think that we are very original, but we’re actually part of a group…. I’m going to post my score later…

    That is a really funny blog! I just found yours through it, though, and we have a lot of similar interests (although right now I’m in a major winter lazy slump!). Anyway, I look forward to reading more about your life as a healthy endurance athlete :-)

    I love that website!

    I love the one about White People and New Balance Shoes.

    I’m not sure if white people and REI has been done yet, but it should.
