1 frederick February 15, 2008 at 11:23 am: Haha, I like #58. It’s very true.
2 KrZ February 15, 2008 at 11:45 am: That is so strange. I just got this link off of IRC (~2 hours ago) and then sent it to a friend. This thing must be spreading like wild fire!
3 MrMao February 15, 2008 at 11:51 am: hilarious.
4 david w. February 15, 2008 at 12:06 pm: fucking awesome. i laughed for 10 minutes straight.
5 bbundaegi February 15, 2008 at 12:33 pm: That site is hilarious. However, if you read through the list, it’s not really a description of what regular “white people” like. It’s more of a description of what “wealthy liberal-minded white people living in urban area of blue states” like.

I can almost guarantee you that practically no white person from southern Indiana, Illinois or Nebraska likes more than 20% of what is on that list.
6 bbundaegi February 15, 2008 at 12:35 pm: I almost ripped my spleen on one of the responses to #11 (Asian Women) on the list. It’s mean, but I couldn’t help it:

“White men love asian women so much that they will go to extremes such as stating that Sandra Oh is sexy,”

“Sandra oh is the elephant man of asian chicks. any guy who says she’s sexy doesn’t have yellow fever he’s got disfiguraphilia. after a long search I managed to find a pic where she looks kind of alright:”

7 R. Elgin February 15, 2008 at 12:46 pm: Oh my . . . ha, yes, “bbundaegi”, that quote is a howler. This is very funny indeed.

I wonder how long it will take before “Black People” makes the list?
8 foobat February 15, 2008 at 12:57 pm: feh.

i dare someone to drop in another race for white and write corresponding articles.

even better, i double dare someone write a blog called Stuff Black People Like and fill it with corresponding articles.

(not so funny then is it?)
9 bbundaegi February 15, 2008 at 1:03 pm: Well, after reading that blog site, I believe that the most important and striking lesson I learned was this: Finding humor in stereotyping fixed action patters of wealthy, urban blue-state affiliated liberal white people is perfectly harmless. The proof is in the pudding because alot of the comments/replies are from white people who are members of the very group that is the target of the blog’s humor. However, the replies show that almost all of the white people of whom the blog makes fun actually laugh in agreement and take it with a grain of salt.

However, the harsh (but still funny in a cruel way) comment about Sandra Oh that I mentioned in the previous post seems to me to be a statement that a Korean-American would make…which makes it even funnier. I cannot count how many of my Asian-American friends have expressed how unattractive Sandra Oh is in their eyes. On the other hand, she does not seem to garner as many disdainful comments regarding her looks within the mainstream white population of America. Personally, I think she is a talented actress.
10 captbbq February 15, 2008 at 1:23 pm: A good example here of #63 would be Au Bon Pain in Jongno… absurdly expensive and they are stingy with the sandwich meat, but sure as day there are always white people there at lunch time.
11 wjk February 15, 2008 at 1:31 pm: the sandwich bit was great. I justified to myself that Korean food in US is appropriately priced if I was gonna pay that much to eat a sandwich.
12 Robert Koehler February 15, 2008 at 1:40 pm: Funny, I just had lunch at a pricey (albeit good) sandwich shop near my office…
13 boshintang February 15, 2008 at 1:44 pm: Not to mention the central business in the central whitey location of Korea is now the Quizno’s in Itaewon.

careful you are displaying a similar kind of over bearing empathy that is being parodied in number 62
16 Railwaycharm February 15, 2008 at 5:12 pm: #14. Now your site is funny! And not even in a mean spirited way.
17 Common Sense February 15, 2008 at 7:31 pm: Another thing white people like is to live far, far away from blacks, mexicans and other low class races. I have never seen any race get along with blacks the same with mexicans. White people like white people
18 WangKon936 February 16, 2008 at 4:21 am: # 5,

I’d narrow it down even more to whites in the Pacific Northwest, the SF Bay area and West Hollywood…
19 WangKon936 February 16, 2008 at 6:07 am: In reference to numbers 11 and 59 on that list:

Too funny… I just had to share.
20 Netizen Kim February 16, 2008 at 6:39 am: Why they left out Monster Truck Rallies, weekend Harley-Davidson excursions decked out in quasi-Nazi-ish oufits, and dancing around Stonehenge as naked druids during solstice.
21 hardyandtiny February 16, 2008 at 11:26 am: White people don’t know they are white
22 bbundaegi February 17, 2008 at 6:43 am: Hey Guys,

Found an interesting comment on the website by a guy who goes by the name of “Tom Sawyer”. He sounds like some of the posters in here. Judging from his reasoning, it sounds as if Pawikirogi is the author of the blog!

Go down to comment #54.

23 bbundaegi February 17, 2008 at 6:46 am: “Why they left out Monster Truck Rallies, weekend Harley-Davidson excursions decked out in quasi-Nazi-ish oufits”

Simple. The reason is that the “white people” to which they are referring are the conventional redneck white people in “red states.” The blog is referring to wealthy liberal white people in blue states.

“and dancing around Stonehenge as naked druids during solstice”

What the hell? Where did this come from?
24 Wedge February 17, 2008 at 9:26 am: Marmot: Thanks for the link. Excellent stuff. Of course, thingspoliticallycorrectliberalbicoastalwhitepoeplelike.com would’ve been a bit too long of a title.

The part on the sushi and fusion food reminded me of a time about ten years ago when I ordered bibimbap in Ann Arbor and it came with chopsticks. The hipster waiter looked at me like I was a cretin when I asked for a spoon to eat it with.
25 Maddlew February 17, 2008 at 10:45 am: I think Tom Sawyer is way overanalyzing this. I think that the author could very well be white. It’s just very funny.
26 He's asian February 18, 2008 at 1:56 pm: Nope- Tom Sawyer hit the nail on thead- he’s an Asian male. See mylosh’s blog below.

Some may say it doesn’t matter, but since many of his comments are more provocative (re: racist/sexist) than the white poster of that blog (Christian Lander) I think it should be noted.
