Stuff I (kind of) like (sometimes)

Thank god for Zoe, who showed me this website:

www.stuffwhitepeoplelike.com

before there was an absolute E'SPLOSION among my friends and on the interwebs. An hour after Zoe recommended it to me (I was hating whitey pretty much that whole day) Megan Clark put it no the Facebook wall. Then I read about it on an online magazine. Then I heard about it from another friend. Then the source for most uptodate ultimate frisbee news, who frequently rails against the hippie culture of a sport he loves posted it the address to take a shot at the white liberals who play.

After reading the thing, I cried.

Then I laughed.

Then I thought about why I was laughing.

Then I cried some more.

Well-off white liberals are lame people. Am I one of those? Kind of. Sometimes. Significantly less so that a lot of folks I know.

I'm not sure that makes it ok.

I'ma go drink some coffee, engage in a difficult break-up, listen to some indie-rock music, and think about what's best for poor people.

Then I'm going to cry again.

Loving the Beastie Boys til I die,
