Mark sent me a link to Stuff White People Like awhile ago and seriously... its f'n hilarious.
Everyday this guy (a white guy) posts something that white people stereotypically like and sadly, its so true. Every post ends with a tip on how to connect with a white person over that particular item.
You can view the full list from #1 to its current number.
I've been going through this list slowly and realized that I am really fucking white. My mom may be appalled to know this - but I am no longer a halfie, a twinkie (now do you get my screen name?) a hapa (thanks Nanette for showing me a new word!)... I am mostly WHITE! Mom? You know the 9 months you carried me and the 36 hours of painful labor you endured to bring me into this world? Yeah... I hate to tell you but there are no traces of you in me whatsoever.
Out of the 92 items, I like (or really relate to) a whopping 54. Okay, so that number isn't ridiculously high but its still a lot for someone who loves to point out that she's the only minority around or give people a hard time for being insensitive to my culture (I'm generally joking when I do that... I'm not THAT sensitive).

My problem is that I look white but I'm not. Even other hispanics thing I'm white :(
I was worried that I'd find many things on that list I relate to but there aren't that many-- yay! I'm not THAT white.
i like that site too, hilarious.
and i'm white.
i kinda felt like I had to say that.
I love that site! I read it all the time...Even though I can't relate to a lot of the stuff, I think it is HILARIOUS!
I also read stuffeducatedblackpeoplelife.blogspot.com...lol...

Perhaps you'll find something there ;)
hmph. I guess I'm the only person who doesn't really like that site. They should really just call it "what well paid upper middle class people like" because that's REALLY what it is. I probably don't identify as a whitey because I'm out of the income bracket :-(
Hapas unite! (I only learned what that word meant about a year ago myself, so you weren't alone.)
That site cracks me up, too. I relate to quite a bit of it, especially stuff like Musical Comedy (Flight of the Conchords), Mos Def, etc. Heh.
too funny! i'm going to check out his site.
