Now that I like. Give me one of those any day. It would make a nice accessory for a lady. Matching shoes, purse and whip! The whip could be useful in certain situations - like making your way to the front of the line, defending oneself from stray dogs, killing horseflies, etc. How would you find it most useful, Liz? /dAb All of those things, plus when I am being ignored in the conversation--a flick of the wrist and whip-ash--as I was saying. Or when I take my car into the mechanic and he starts patronizing me--whip-ash--as you were saying? I think it would be great if I had a whip, and of course, an Indiana Jones Fedora.

We have all, well most, have seen personal quirks in different breads of birds, cats, dogs and other groups, yet to see people have them almost got me stoned..

I think the site is essentially satirising the idea of stereotypes itself. Maybe that's too meta to be fun for some... or maybe it's just not funny for some. I find it funny.

just trying to be comical and grasping at straws to do it; and they have a book to sell. :) Are you racist against white people?
Not outwardly.
Why do you think some people perceive the blog as racist?
Mostly because it’s fundamentally about stereotypes and people have been conditioned to automatically react to a stereotype as an awful thing. In most cases, they would be right. But this blog is not filled with hateful or negative stereotypes and it’s not meant to incite anger or demean white people.
Is the blog really about race or is it more about money and social status?
It’s partially about race, but it’s fundamentally about class. It’s about a generation and class that values authenticity and credibility more than monetary wealth.
Is “white” a synonym for “bland”?
No! White people have done many spicy things - both good and bad.
-from the link I don't mean to be smirky (just comical) but it seems strange that they claim their blog is "about a generation and class that values authenticity and credibility more than monetary wealth." What a cliché, what a bourgoise metatype! I mean monotype... err sumpin lie k'at. /dAb
