It's funny cause it's true.
The Doga classes are a sad state of affairs.

Re: Stuff White People Like
Do you think they will bring a book out called "What black people like" which also mocks black culture?
I wonder what would be included?

Eh. It's a certain type of white people. Think New Labour/Blairites living in Islington.
It's funny because it does hit a certain chord, mocking a certain class of politically liberal, socially conscious white people in a way they're not accustomed.

Its quite natural for us to get defensive when folks tell us the 'truth' about ourself.
Interesting work!

What a boring book - it's not even that funny?! I quite like the Brit-think, Ameri-think series though - they can be hilarious.
Seven seas: what are you on about? Why is it uncomfortable?! Do you like wearing Ed Hardy clothing?
