'Also of note, white people love big books about architecture. So if you need to get one a gift, this always goes over well because it makes them feel smart without having to read too much'

so true....so true

from number 36: breakfast places:

In white person law, if you meet someone at 80s night and then go out for breakfast the next morning, then you are automatically in a relationship. There are no exceptions.

it's a funny blog, but he could have just said "trendy snobs"
but i guess "white people" is more like comedy central

i think this is why i like coming here and i like most of the archinecteurs; we seem to be somewhat "fringe" people...

judging from the number of people who have TOLD me they thought they could be great architects (and you know you've heard it, too) i think that this is universal, not white: The reason white people love architecture so much is that deep down they believe that they could have been a great architect.

Meta:

Yo dogg, when I'm hating on whitey, I don't make any distinctions. Whitey is whitey is whitey.

Too easy for y'all to pass.

aldorossi,
Why are you being a dick?I have to say that is pretty offensive. When I, personally', 'hate on whitey', I mean that i hate on a kind of pervasive cultural problem intrinisic within a caste system-based oppressive condition that affects many (aside from there "actual" skin color). I think some might see the humor in my original bucolic ,counter-culture 60's humorous comment about "whitey" (perhaps not).Whatever, I suppose getting all "racial" here would be passe as we are all smarter than all that.....can't lead to good things, and being from poor white (and black) roots, I know better than to trip.

I don't find the asian blog as funny as the white blog for one simple reason: I'm not asian, I'm white.

Now lets get real. White people stole and molested almost the entirety of America and Canada and all that they have accomplished is an environmental and economical mess. Not to say anywhere else is better. The so called Whitey also oppresses and fucks with his own people too with ridiculous laws and taxes and bladetyfuckin'blah. lets not be naive, whitey is not white people, don't be that racist. It is the capitalistic greed that they invented and breed and all races are in that gang, but whitey is sure running that shit.

And who doesn't like rice?

There really is a "white person" though, I believe that blog hits the "white person" stereotype perfectly.

What your describing Liquid is "The Man", who is no longer just White.

the guy who started the white people blog was on the radio and opined that the site's satire is funny and surprising because, while black, asian, indian, and other races are examined, analyzed, satirized, their characteristics exaggerated/stereotyped all the time, for the most part white people's quirkiness - probably because white males, especially, have historically been equal to 'the man' - has gone largely unexamined. that's why the site.

that's why the asian/rice entry is less funny or surprising. it's a tired old stereotype that doesn't bring anything new to the conversation about race.
