Stuff White People Like

I know you've all read and enjoyed it, so I'm not linking, but merely sharing this morning's family email dialogue:

• Brother 6:42 AM: This is hilarious. It's like an outsider's cultural guide to understanding whites (albeit whites in the upper-middle class). There has been a lot of discussion on the 'net about this lately. Apparently a lot of whites are outraged that someone would dare generalize them in this manner. I however was completely amused, and so was Linda, despite being basically the exact prototype of this classification. http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com/

• Mom 6:47 AM: hey brother...i'm laughing so hard i can hardly type! thanks for the morning cardiopulmonary workout while drinking coffee (#1)...instant coffee, i must admit! yup...you and linda fit into many of the stereotypes pretty closely, hmm. it's about time us parents are off the hook a little ('cept by their kids!). i guess the saying is true, "what goes around comes around." thanks a lot for sending this to us and keeping us informed about our race...i'm passing it forward!!

• Linda 9:08 AM: Whoa. Are you sure you've only had the one coffee?

• Mom 9:20 AM: one and a half actually. how about you?

• Dad 9:26 AM: Mom, put the Bushmills away. No more irish coffee for you this morning!
