Stuff White People Like

INCIDENT:
Sometimes stereotypes can be funny when framed in a certain context. I have been really enjoying this blog called Stuff White People Like. And I have found that there are other blogs that have copied a similar framework like Stuff Asian People Like.

Now I can identify with the stereotypes of two races/ethnic groups. Awesome.

MORAL:
We have to laugh at ourselves once in awhile if we are going to make it through this life. I don't think that these blogs are mean spirited but rather take ownership of the little quirks that help define who we are... As I mentioned above, even though I am not white I identify with many of the things on the list. What does this mean? Who knows. I don't really read too much into that other than I have been blessed with many different types of friends who have influenced my life. But it also goes to show you that so many things transcend race or ethnicity. And if we see past it all, we really are very similar.
