OMG this website will be indispensable in my fantasy dissertation about how "white culture" gets defined. Seriously, I have been wanting to write this for 8 years now.

....Since white people can’t really blame any race for their problems, they need to blame corporations.

White people often have spiritual moments at concerts by the following artists: Common, Brand Nubian, Tribe Called Quest, and Del Tha Funky Homosapien.

eh, their hatred of non-profits (which includes churches, of course) is confusing. It also implies if a person of any other race than white likes any of the above stuff (expensive sandwiches, charity work, bikes), that they're acting """white"""".
This just sounds like an upper middle class white person's rant against upper middle class white bourgeois culture, like a higher level of some kid's "hipsters 4 f4ags" site.

this blog is like a weird, less obviously evil example of ethan's thing about racial puppetry in right-wing comics--like 80% of the "things white people like" are "liberal" or "hippie" things coded as left-wing in some way, the implicit statement being "if these are things white people like, non-whites must dislike them." therefore non-whites dislike co-ed sports, recycling, "knowing whats best for poor people" (<--- this is the best example of what i mean), etc. not to mention that "white" here is coded (as usual) as "clueless" and "uncool" (im sympathetic to that characterization), so shit like "not shopping at wal-mart" is a totally "clueless" thing to do

upper middle class white bourgeois culture
What's fascinating to me, though, is how this becomes read as "white culture," full stop. Although it's slightly different from what's usually considered "white culture" -- that is, suburban middle-class soccer moms and patio dads, as exemplified in the following:

This definitely has its funny moments but it's essentially reductionist, divisive, and shallow humor. I don't take offense at this (as a white guy, I mean) but it leaves me a little meh.

No. There is absolutely nothing on this site that does not skew "white" as liberal, urban, educated and (upper) middle class. Check this out - shortest entry in the blog:
#8 Barack Obama
"Because white people are afraid that if they don’t like him that they will be called racist."
Or this, which directly precedes it:
#7: Diversity
"White people love ethnic diversity, but only as it relates to restaurants..."
Or this, on white people's supposed love of lawyers (suggesting that recourse to litigation is a "LOLWTF white people" kinda thing):
Please note that when around white people, that it is social suicide to admit or state that you don’t have a regular lawyer. But perhaps the one main reason why white people love lawyers is the sense that they are giving back to the community. Most white people major in the arts, and law school is pretty much the only option for anyone with a BA that wants a decent paying job.
This site is entirely political. I'm not saying that it's intended to influence political opinion, but it at least displays a very strong point of view. Gotta wonder though:
...has this site been picked up in the white controlled media or something? It seems to be all over the Internet right now.
