How a Failed Journalist Became the Margaret Mead of White Peoplenew
"Stuff White People Like" isn't just a cathartic spoof; it's Lander's entry into a convoluted and thorny discourse on race in America. Like most people, Lander was always fascinated by race, but he found it difficult to partake in the dialogue without sounding either like an apologist, or a total asshole.

Blogger Christian Lander on White Peoplenew
The Definitive Guide to Stuff White People Like: The Unique Taste of Millions is 150 blog posts -- uh, make that chapters -- with titles like "Michel Gondry," "Modern Furniture," and "Knowing What's Best for Poor People." Although the book does recycle some of the website's original content, it's still snarkily funny and well, true.
