apparently, we like lame self-deprecating "humor"
So you’ve seen stuffwhitepeoplelike.com, right? If you haven’t, don’t bother. I’ll spare you the inane details. Do you remember that Simpsons episode when Homer watches an Arsenio-like comedian and hoots joyously at the TV, “It’s true! We’re so lame!” It’s just like that. A bunch of mealy-mouthed self-loathing, topped with a sprinkling of stupid stereotypes.
What’s even more ridiculous is that bloggers and the media are falling all over each other to kiss the butts of this site’s “writers.” Even the New York Times, which should know better, is practically peeing its pants trying to show how cool it is by exposing how lame we all are.
The worst part about the whole thing, though, is that SWPL injects a bunch of things that affect all of us into a list of stuff that only lame-ass WASPs are supposed to care about. Like universal health care. Or mistrusting sociopathic corporations. Excuse me, but isn’t a healthy skepticism of any large, totalitarian group something that people of all skin colors care about?
