Stuff White People Like has acutally begun to scare me. Sorry to interupt the previous scheduled blog with this different topic, but my copy of the book has gone amiss with my spring break luggage, which still remains unpacked. So instead of continuing like I did in the previous two posts for this book, I've decided to blog on the conclusion that I've come too.

The thing is that I don't know if Landers is being serious or not. Obviously there are white people that like coffee, music festivals, and traveling abroad, etc. But I'm really wondering if he's just having a laugh or criticizing white people for this, if that makes sense. It's making me question the white people that I know and what they do and why they do it. Do they do it because they're white? Do they do it to immulate white people that they know?

I even question my own motives because I find myself liking with many of the 150 things listed in the book. It makes me feel as if I'm a conformist or something which I don't necessarily want to be, especially if Landers is criticizing such people. How could so many people have so much in common? Even though I know for a fact, that not all white like all the 150 things in that book, I know that some like most. And the other white people like Sarah Pailin, Tea Parties, etc. the I doubt would even be mentioned in this book.

I'm just not really getting what Landers is going at, from his picture and biographical information he seems to be writing about himself. He's a white man from Canada who seems to be the kind of guy to like all the things he mentions. And that just baffles my mind. Is it a critique of white people or not? Is it a good thing to be one of these white people? What is Landers getting at???
