I don't like the site, "Stuff White People Like."

Here are the things on the list that I don't like:
Camping, Scooters, Bob Marley, Moleskin Notebooks, Funny or Ironic Tattoos, Taking a Year Off, Sea Salt, Political Prisoners, Black Music, America, Hummus, Pea Coats, Frisbee Sports, Onions, Appearing to Enjoy Classical Music, Hip Hop References, Unpaid Internships, Sweaters, Being Offended, Bumper Stickers, New Balance Shoes, Rugby, Free Healthcare, Music Piracy, Book Deals, San Francisco, St Patrick's Day, Outdoor Performance Clothes, Shorts, T-Shirts, Hating Corporations, Graduate School, The Idea of Soccer, Musical Comedy, Bottles of Water, Threatening to Move to Canada, Oscar Parties, Gentrification, Being the Only White Person, Difficult Breakups, Mos Def, Divorce, Co-Ed Sports, Expensive Sandwhiches, Bicycles, Toyotas, Natural Medicine, Lawyers, Apologies, Dogs, Living By Water, Irony, Whole Foods Stores, Asian Fusion Food, Sushi, Netflix, Arrested Development, Renovations, Breakfast Places, Marijuana, Vegan/Vegetarianism, Snowboarding, Wrigley Field, 80s Night, Not Having a Television, Marathons, David Sedaris, Wine, Microbreweries, Having Two Last Names, Writing Workshops, Being an Expert on Your Culture, Hating Their Parents, Having Black Friends, Tea, Non-Profit Organisations, Asian Girls, Making You Feel Bad About Not Going Outside, Organic Food, Farmers' Markets, Assists, Religions Their Parents Don't Have, Coffee

Which is 82 things.
The things on the list that I like are:
  1. Where the Wild Things Are
  2. Learning New Languages
  3. Halloween
  4. Children's Games as Adults
  5. Grammar
  6. Scarves
  7. Dinner Parties
  8. Michel Gondry
  9. Juno
  10. Kitchen Gadgets
  11. Vintage
  12. Plays
  13. Radio
  14. Indie Music
  15. Apple Products
  16. The Daily Show
  17. Manhattan
  18. Travelling
  19. Intelligent Children
  20. Japan
  21. Standing Still
  22. Recycling
  23. Arts Degrees
Of course, I don't like people who go around saying they like things just in order to like them. But still, this website is annoying. And a bit racist.

However, this photo from Average Cats, made me laugh. It probably shouldn't have.
