Stuff White People Like

As I was reading, I kept thinking, “Wow, I am so white.” But then I tallied up my score and I'm really only about 60% white. Phew.

What White People Will Learn:
-That everything you do to be different makes you the same as everyone else.
-Whether or not you're ‘the right kind of white person'
-What other white people are doing that you could be doing to become even whiter.

What People of Color Will Learn:
-How to become friends with/manipulate white people
-How to make sure you only befriend/manipulate ‘the right kind of white person'
-How to talk to white people and have them think that you are cool/smart/fun/romantic

As funny as the book is, it's also an eye-opener. It made me consider the motivation and value behind a lot of the things that I do without having ever thought twice about why I do them. It helped me see how others might perceive me and white people in general.

It's a great book about race and culture that isn't racist.
