White Stereotypes
Check out "stuff white people like" here. It's pretty amusing. I agree wholeheartedly with a few of the comments on the site that the thing should be called "stuff white liberals like" or "stuff yuppies like" or even "stuff rich people like." Nevertheless....pretty good.
Thanks to my friend Katie, who is engaged in vigorous and high-tech world-saving at a major international institution, for this and and the previous science fair link.
As a side note, isn't it interesting that, in black comedy, stereotypes of white people are usually drawn from the affluent (and often liberal) segment of the population? I'm guessing it's cause black people in general live in the city, and which is where rich white people live. And stereotypes of black people are drawn from their working class, and even more commonly, from their criminal underclass.
Any expert sociologists out there want to tackle this one?

No, Vijai, you're just you, and that's why we love you. When are you coming to America?
FYI, it looks like this blogger is a white person and not a black comedian.

Joe I not understanding your problems with maidens or otherwise. Most of all PHD stuffs.
I have phd in communications, telephony, computer engineering, personal human communications, windows xp and basic workplace sanitation. All these in just 6 month from University Visvesvaraya College of Engineering for Rs 72000. This Duke sounds like poor value! You need to come here for school. I know you want ford fusion 1.4 TDI white and shiny as penguin belly and only work 4th shift once in a month and no longer picking cotton in dreadfully hot confederate new mexico sun!
Vigay, it seems that you have an intimate knowledge of the American civil war. Is this something you learned in one of your many degree programs? Perhaps the Windows XP training?
I know many things because of my spectacular educations at UVCE. I sure that if I tried to push my brain datas into your tiny woman head like JOHNNY MNEMONIC it would explode like melon filled with hand grenade.
Was one of your courses entitled "Acronyms 101"?
I taking English classes and learning how get cool west coast accent.
Vigay, I am now leaving the last comment. So there!
