We saw it on Drudge! America's next civil war is right around the corner and it's all because of Stuff White People Like, a site written by and for yuppies to gently laugh at themselves with smug self-congratulation (or alternatively to condemn the whole enterprise, like we just did—wheels within wheels, people). This alarming site is, as the Houston Chronicle puts it, merely "the latest in a string of racially charged blogs (first came theassimilatednegro.com, then angryasian.com)...." Hah. Congrats to friend of Gawker The Assimilated Negro for apparently being inadvertently responsible for the fucking "Stuff White People Like" controversy. And for embodying the "vaguely suggestive without saying anything" term "racially charged"! [Chron.com]
