I encountered a fantastic blog, "Stuff White People Like."
http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com/
Posts are written almost like instructional articles to minorities on how to understand and get along with white, liberal, NPR-listeners (NPR, of course, is one of the things white people like).
Be sure to check out #81!!!
About Me
- J. Edwin Paschke-Johannes
- n. ('jA-'ed-w&n-pash-kE-jO-'han-es) 1. A male homosapien of U.S. citizenship, w/ diffused hereditary origins from the Polish, Swiss, German, Lithuanian, Nebraska white trash, and Minnesota backwoods missionary. 2. Name of said male homosapien. 3. One of few individuals, if not the only one existent, to be credited, on public records and various publicly distributed documents, with a Bachelor of Arts in English Education from Midland Lutheran College and a Master of Arts in English, specializing in Creative Writing (Fiction), from Iowa State University, and enrolled in a doctoral program in English, specializing in Rhetoric and Composition, at Ball State University. 4. One of a married couple that have adopted two children, a precocious female and winsome male, from Ethiopia, thus constructing a nuclear family known as “multicultural,” or specifically “transracial,” and grafting onto the couple’s mutual/individual family tree a branch that, to America's racial psyche, is considered radically divergent.

i don't know if i should be laughing or calling the aclu - what is interesting is the "about" section where you get responses from just about every ethnic group, all completely contradictory, which i think almost legitimizes the website to some degree
I think it's funny. I have to wonder about the people who get so offended by the humor. If it had a serious tone instead of a humorous one, they'd probably consider it scholarship. I read #81 and now I'm questioning my self-worth since it appears that scientists will never respect me for my mind.
