Stuff White People Like

More race-related “stuff.”
Drudge had a link up today on a Houston Chronicle piece about this blog. Parts of Stuff White People Like are LOL funny, but some of it amounts to groping for a laugh.
I guess what I’m wondering is why the provocative title? The blog really makes fun of the cultural and social milieu of the upper middle class — not really at Caucasians in general.
As a friend of mine pointed out, Stuff White People Like is really the Official Preppy Handbook for the new millennium. As a graduate of an old stuffy boarding school, I found much of the satirical Preppy Handbook rang true. As someone who is white and intimately familiar with the upper middle class, I can say the same about Stuff White People Like.
Warning: if you are part of the PC crowd, drive an Audi and fancy yourself extremely open-minded and tolerant, you might find Stuff White People Like highly offensive.

Yeah, you’re not going to find there which hand gun is most preferred by “white people” (voting here for the classic Colt .45, btw).
Ridiculing upper middle class (latte) liberals is considered good sport on my side of the holler. Nothing “controversial” about that.

Offensive, yes, but not because it skewers “white people.” It assumes minorities aren’t PC or have nice little dinner parties.
The Preppy Handbook was great; probably dated now. 10 different ways to say vomit — drive the porcelain bus. Hilarious.

Like I said.

Jake, good use of a Southern geographic term! I see you are going native now…
