Looks more like what yuppies like.

(I guess 'yuppie' is a bit dated...is there a more current term?)

I'm half too old and half too bored with the list to qualify. What does that make me, other than obnoxious?

I guess I'm not White. I didn't think so anyway.

I'm sorry, but this list won't do. They are pretty close to the mark with Coffee at #1, but Dogs (#53) are way too low.

I don't like coffee, so the list doesn't work for me. I actually don't start liking things on the list until #5.

I think this is merely anthropological commentary (spelled s a t i r e) rather than a ranking, otherwise dogs would be much higher on the scale.

I would think White people would like cats better than dogs. What other culture treats cats the way White people do?

Confucious is said to have cut off the flowing sleeve of his kimono rather than disturb the cat that had settled down to sleep on top of it. I have loved my cats, but I never destroyed any part of my wardrobe on their behalf.

I guess that would depend on how you categorize the ancient Egyptians

I know! I know!

Misguided.

I am, however, mostly brownish.

Not a very accurate reflection of me. In the top 20 only two have any immediate appeal to me.

I guess it is a good thing I am more of a light brown than white...

Looks like I have to give up my white card.

Wonder what other group would be willing to give me a card.

Old Farts, maybe?

I've found only 7 things on that list that I like.

andrewjackson · #15 Post by **andrewjackson** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 7:40 am

I guess I'm White on balance. Things that apply/appeal to me:

* #87 Outdoor Performance Clothes
* #86 Shorts
* #84 T-Shirts
* #81 Graduate School
* #79 Modern Furniture
* #78 Multilingual Children
* #76 Bottles of Water
* #73 Gentrification
* #72 Study Abroad
* #71 Being the only white person around
* #67 Standing Still at Concerts
* #66 Divorce
* #65 Co-Ed Sports
* #64 Recycling
* #63 Expensive Sandwiches
* #61 Bicycles
* #56 Lawyers
* #55 Apologies
* #53 Dogs
* #52 Sarah Silverman
* #51 Living by the Water
* #50 Irony
* #46 The Sunday New York Times
* #45 Asian Fusion Food
* #44 Public Radio
* #43 Plays
* #39 Netflix
* #38 Arrested Development
* #37 Renovations
* #36 Breakfast Places
* #35 The Daily Show/Colbert Report
* #34 Architecture
* #30 Wrigley Field
* #23 Microbreweries
* #19 Traveling
* #18 Awareness
* #9 Making you feel bad about not going outside
* #7 Diversity
* #4 Assists
* #3 Film Festivals

That's 40 of 88, almost half. I didn't read all the descriptions so I may be guilty of generalizations here. Like Assists. I enjoy a good assist but I have no idea what the little blurb about assists was. I have a feeling I know but I'm not going to look. And I don't have Netflix or multilingual children but I think both are good ideas.

I'm waiting for the "Stuff MAWGS like" as this list looks more like the "Stuff Young White People Like." I liked this stuff years ago; now... not so much. I don't even get a tingle until after #25.

See, I would say that it is a list poking fun at what pseudo-intellectual white liberals like.
