Honky Heaven

What do kitchen gadgets have in common with difficult breakups? They're Stuff White People Like. And that ain't no jive.

I found #62 especially trenchant:
A great way to make white people feel good is to tell them about situations where poor people changed how they were doing things because they were given the ‘whiter’ option. “Back in my old town, people used to shop at Wal*Mart and then this non-profit organization came in and set up a special farmers co-op so that we could buy more local produce, and within two weeks the Wal*Mart shut down and we elected our first Democratic representative in 40 years.” White people ... will be filled with euphoria and will invite you to more parties to tell this story to their friends, so that they can feel great.
From Shannon and Colleen, two of the whitest girls around. Erin go bragh!
