These books are hilarious and really, the most hilarious thing about them is that white people think they are hilarious. Why is that?

I mean, it's all true. But why doesn't that mean that white people DON'T find it funny?????!

Read this morning:

To fully understand why white poeple love [Adult Swim] so much you have to understand the world of 'under-ground animation,' which is something that has been beloved by white people since Fritz the Cat. The more hard-core white people (single white men) will often take their passion for this type of animation so far as to attend an 'Alternative Animation Festival,' often held at movie theatres you thought were long abandoned.

So true! I took a couple of white men to a Fritz the Cat movie in Sydney ages ago now. It was held in a cinema in Glebe which was in the process of being condemned. Indeed, we all had to sit in the balcony level, I believe because it had been decided, all things considered, that it was better to fall than be fallen upon. Frankly, I thought the chances of falling were pretty good: any time anybody did something as vigorous as cross their leg, the entire balcony structure shook.

And, on the subject of bread:

It would be nice to believe that a white person has a choice in bread or cereal, but in reality they don't.

When a white person is asked 'Whole wheat or white?' they are legally prohibited from saying 'white.' Watch them at any sandwich shop or restaurant where they are given a choice. It is so ingrained in their heads they when presented with a list of options they will not let the waiter continue after he has said the words whole wheat.....

Though they strongly prefer whole wheat bread, white people will eat white bread when there are no other options. And they will generally enjoy it, making the best of a bad situation.

When this happens you might be tempted to tell white people that being forced to choose white due to a lack of options sounds like your collegiate dating career. It is recommended that you avoid this, as white people might find this offensive. Not because you were forced to date white people, but because it will remind them that they are going to have to get their fibre from something else.

Following on from that, one of the things I find odd about white people is that although they do their very best to make sure people in refugee camps get more rice and water, they themselves think that they, white people, and their dogs should have the very very best modern scientific diet letting them live the very best life for longest. That would be hilarious, but somehow...

I don't know. I guess Christian Lander makes it funny somewhere.

I am not American so there could be somethings that are different in Europe.

Wrong.

I laughed a lot of myself through the whole book as well as I did while reading the first one. ( )

Amusing catalog of white people and what they like -- at least some white people. In this book, "white people" are left-leaning, college educated, urban, mostly young white people, the ones you would expect to find at an Obama rally (unless they are Canadian, which some are). Blue collar types, rednecks, and the like are not likely to recognize themselves in this. Not as funny as it was at first, though the shock of self-recognition (that NPR lady from Minneapolis!) is always salutary. ( )
