Christian Lander is like the Jacques Cousteau of caucasians. His blog, Stuff White People Like, offers the most accurate analysis of
middle class crackers available on the internet. We dropped in on him to poke fun at honkies (it's cool, I'm white).
Vice: Why are white people so easy to make fun of?
Christian Lander: They're like that know-it-all kid in school that makes himself a target. Whenever you see that he's contradicting himself you have to jump on it.
Do you have a pseudo-scientific way to figure out what to post next? Or do you just watch The View and read Salon.com?
I do have a theory. I think of the people I went to school with and then I say "Would they get excited about this?" If the answer is yes, then I write it.
If you started a blog called "Stuff Indian People Like" or "Stuff Aborigines Like" do you think you'd get hassled about it?
I get hassled for this blog! I think it's all in the context and tone of how you write it. If those blogs brought out the similarities and shared tastes of people within that culture, it's hard to see how it'd be perceived as offensive. Of course, if they were written to be hurtful or demeaning, then it's an entirely different story. Most of the uppity white people who comment on my site desperately want to tell themselves they don't see race.
I want to start a blog called "Stuff White People Trying To Be Black Like"?
I hope to god that we never run out of white thugs/wiggers/Kevin Federlines. They are a source of inspiration and hilarity.
What's whiter? Jerry Seinfeld stand-up, reading a J Crew catalogue while drinking French pressed coffee, or cross country skiing?
Cross country skiing, or as I call it "the bad kind of skiing."

I don't know what kind of school this guy went to, but you'd have to have led a pretty sheltered life to think any of that stuff is what white people in general like. I wish it was, life would have been much easier.
This is just stuff left-leaning artsy urban intellectual generally-middle-class North American hipsters/yipsters/yuppies like. Yeah, *most* of those people are white, but an elementary grasp of logic should tell you that this doesn't make the blog's (admittedly much snappier) title accurate.

joe; i think if i met you, i would hate you.

No, I'm really not as logical or articulate in real life, so I'd probably just give up and say something idotic like "Haha, that blog is so true!" Then we could be friends, right?

i like the way you're all "check everyone else taking their shit so seriously" yet you've bothered making a whole fucking blog about it
blogging about other people's unawareness of culture and wrong doing in society, eh. how fucking white are you trying to be?

It is important to be able to laugh at yourself sometimes. It keeps you honest.
Joe...you are way too serious and angry. What caused that?
Posted by: Beef | 25/02/2008 at 16:55
I think it was caused by his fucking your mom and catching AIDS

Thanks for a wonderful recipe! Can't wait to try it, might give it a go tonite! I'm use to baking or cooking my salmon on the grill, never poached, new experience for me as well! Not big on zucchini and squash, so may substitute them.
