How many do you particularly like? I made a list of things I definitely like and added a list of things I sorta like or have without being inordinately fond of. Things I like: coffee Barack Obama Asian girls David Sedaris Manhattan Marijuana Arts degrees Musical comedy (no, never!) Irony Sarah Silverman Lawyers Japan (samurais, Bonzai trees and the best news presenters) Multilingual children The Wire Music piracy (what, people still buy music?)

I always hated that site, and I don’t understand why people think it’s funny. It completely conflates the issues of race and class, and that is a huge step backwards in terms of social progress. Really - fuck that site. ---

72 so I guess I’m super white, although the list looks a lot more to me like “liberal” than “white”. I also feel like I should be able to subtract the items I am adverse to. ---
