White Like Me.

Mah friends.

Why - why?!? - am I only just seeing this?

I mean, I knew I was damn YUP-tastic. I love organics, caramel macchiatos, David Sedaris, yoga, and Obama.

Now check out the complete list of Things White People Like.

Eff me, I have just discovered I am one gigantic, living, breathing, indie music-listening, Whole Foods-shopping, brunch-lovin' CLICHE.

Which is ironic, because I loathe cliches.

But also nice, because I do like me some irony.

I maintain: I do NOT like Sarah Silverman.

Everything else?

Fuck.

Do not be too hard on yourself, there is plenty of stuff on there that everyone likes and a TON, and I mean the vast majority, that I, as a white person do not like at all.

Of course, I have always felt that I was in touch with all the colors of the rainbow...

That list is borderline ridiculous, there are only a handful of people in the world, black, white, Hispanic, Latino, Asian, or otherwise that could claim to not like that entire list from top to bottom.

I find myself liking about half of these things, what does that make me?

And speaking of David Sedaris, if you weren't aware, he's going to be at the Wilmington Opera House on April 6.

haha i'm a fan of cliches for the hilarity of it, but i don't find myself to be one. i mean, i don't think one can meet too many asian lacrosse players...

nonetheless, i do like ramen and sushi...

Shan - did not know about Sedaris. Going to have to find a way to make that happen.

I like you, Jacky Cheng. You may be the first Asian lacrosse player I have had the pleasure to meet.

Anon - agreed, the list is silly... but I do find myself liking an awful lot on there.

Thank you so much for sharing this. I don't know what I find funnier, the list or your reaction.

I too am a whitey white borderline winter blue at the moment and just as the list stated, love the things listed.

I embrace my whitey, so what if they are inferring the list is symbolic for something worse than being a whitey white. I am what I am what I am.
