As any true white person knows, our book came out just a few weeks ago. Stuff White People Like by Christian Lander is one of the funniest things I’ve read all year. If you aren’t up on how to be the whitest you can be, this will definitely tell you everything from which authors to read (stick to Sedaris) and which newspapers you should make sure to always have on your coffee table while other white people visit your Ikea infested abode(The New Yorker and the New York Times, respectively).
It takes about small but important things such as the scarf phenomenon and is very correct in terms of its weather regulating abilities. I could relate to this. In fact, my white ass is sittin’ at work right now, with a scarf on listening to the Velvet Underground and Nico, a must have for true whities.
Whether you are or aren’t one of them white folks, this book will make you giggle and you’ll get through it in a jiffy. Stuff White People Like is a book you can read through more than once and it highlights the good things (there’s good things?) about white culture. I definitely need to re-read it and take some of those tips to heart, I’m less than 50%. I was ashamed.
I hear white people really like Che Guevara, maybe I’ll read a book about him next. Pick up some white-cred.
