This one is really good. Replace "poor people" with "Palestinians", and there you have it.

White people spend a lot of time of worrying about poor people. It takes up a pretty significant portion of their day.

It is a poorly guarded secret that, deep down, white people believe if given money and education that all poor people would be EXACTLY like them. In fact, the only reason that poor people make the choices they do is because they have not been given the means to make the right choices and care about the right things.

But it is ESSENTIAL that you reassert that poor people do not make decisions based on free will. That news could crush white people and their hope for the future.

you're right, will, it is really classist. a lot of the things listed are things white trash mock middle class white people for. but my absolute favorite thing that blog lists is "apologies." in fact, i kind of feel the entire blog could be applied to every unitarian universalist i've ever met. (much love to all god's children, btw). :-)

There is basically a large sector of white workers with arts majors, that would otherwise be unemployed were it not for the high rate of divorce. So just like the love of lawyers, getting divorced is a way to give back to the community.

I like this part, and it's very true. White people getting divorced also benefits the Palestinian cause, in a couple of ways. Desperate newly divorced middle-aged white people need an outlet to show both their social consciousness and their big hearts. Also, their high school and college age children find themselves in an identity crisis when their nice little suburban lives fall apart. So they come on Kabobfest and empathize with people who are so much more fucked up than they are that they can actually feel good about themselves again.

It's a win/win. White people like that.

It's not LIKE that. It *is* that. Very observant of you to notice, though!

Yes, Will, it's clearly a hate crime that people find your blog, and including this post, boring, tired and unfunny.

You should call CAIR and report it.

the "what white people like" site is amazing and inspirational. i laughed hard and sent it to all my friends. it's like one big run-on wasp joke.

Umm.. the site is what white people like, not what they invented. But if you want to take credit for "natural medicine", then have it it kid.

And kudos on inserting apartheid into a clearly non-related story.

Or Israeli Ashkenazis like Ehud Olmert?

Jews are not white. One of those European crackers, Adolf Hitler, said so.

Jews are the same ethnicity as you, Will. Are you white?
