"I think to write about "Stuff White People Like" (which feels grammatically wrong somehow), even satirically, is to exclude non-whites from the things that the titular white people like."

I agree that this is a danger, but I also see some potential. For white people who don't think that their whiteness matters in their lives-- who think that they are "just normal"-- this might show how "white" is also a constructed category of identity.

As far as the site overall, I'm ambivalent. But I'm paying attention.
