This is not funny!” But, it actually is. It is not the cookie cutter jokes used by comedians to differentiate brown v. white. It is more about culture, consumerism, and the trappings one embraces in their search of the perfect world. You could pull the white reference in each listing and most would stand alone as funny as they are an observations of society at large, but most are about class differences – say like expensive sandwiches, know what’s best for poor people, drive a Prius, etcetera. Therein lies some discomfort, but that is noted in no. 55. I happen to like EVERY item listed, so I am the standard white guy according to this writer. I did, however, connect to no. 66 about avoiding large groups of white people at new ethnic restaurants I have yet to explore, as I feel as if the authenticity is not genuine if so many people find the place agreeable to their palate. That is what Ryan’s Steakhouse and Old Country Buffets are for. When I peer inside the window of a yet unexplored Buford Highway restaurant I want to feel a little danger and experience of the unknown and road less traveled. The feature shortcoming of this blog is that the writer makes it a race issue by noting that white people are the only ones capable of living frivolously and having expensive taste. Better name would be, “Stuff Contemporary Yuppies Like.” I pored through the entries to search for the item that would make me say, “AH-HA! This is not funny!” But, it actually is.

Wait for the new TDI version. That will give the Prius a good run for its money. I think the Jetta is still an in car.
