Stuff White People Like.

This hilarious blog never ceases to entertain me. It lists a variety of things that, stereotypically, white people like. I find myself able to relate with 70% of the items on the list, and each entry is so well-written. All of the posts are riddled with intelligent, ironic humor. Overall, the site is incredibly entertaining and worthy of being read.
