If the shoe fits
First of all, don’t be offended. Stuff White People Like is a blog (and book) that pokes fun at progressives. The guy who writes it is a lefty white guy. So whether you’re the type of person he pokes or someone who doesn’t like the kind of people he pokes (I’ll never tell), you’re going to enjoy the blog. Be sure to read the post on the #19 thing that White People Like: travel. An excerpt:
Every white person takes at least one trip to Europe between the ages of 17-29. During this time they are likely to wear a back pack, stay at a hostel, meet someone from Ireland/Sweden/Italy with whom they have a memorable experience, get drunk, see some old churches and ride a train.
What’s amazing is that all white people have pretty much the same experience, but all of them believe theirs to be the first of its kind. So much so that they return to North America with ideas of writing novels and screenplays about their experience.
Upon returning home, they will also find an affinity for a particular beer or liquor from a country they visited. They use this as an excuse to mention their travels when at a bar. “Oh, I’ll have a Czechznlishiyush Pilsner. You see, that was my favorite beer when I was travelling through Slovenia and the Czech republic.”
