I have a new favorite blog: Stuff White People Like. My mother is Korean and my father is caucasian, so it makes sense that about half of the things applied to me. I eat expensive sandwiches for lunch, I just came back from a trip to Japan, and my husband and I are talking about getting a Prius. That must be my white side. On the other hand, I believe natural medicine is bunk, and I do not like dogs or lawyers.

I especially like the tips they give you on how to take advantage of white people and their weaknesses.

#58 Japan

"If you find yourself in an awkward silence with white people, just mention how you want to go to Japan. They will immediately begin talking about how their trip to Japan, or their favorite stuff from Japan, but it will be entirely about them. This is useful as you no longer have to talk, and they will like you for letting them talk about themselves."

#59 Natural Medicine

"How can you use this for gain? It’s easy! When a white person you work with is feeling sick or says they have no energy, ask them to tell you more about their problems. After pretending to listen for a little while, tell them that in your culture/home country “we cured that using a special herbal powder from [insert made up tree] root.

Then the next day bring them a small bag of basil or oregano and tell them to boil it in a tea (white people love to believe in magic teas) and see how they feel in the morning. One of two things will happen. They will either wake up feeling great because they want to feel great and they’ll thank you profusely. Or they will wake up feeling like crap, and when you confront them at work, they will lie and say they feel good.

Either way, you did them a favor so now they owe you a favor."
