Pocky has finally arrived on austrian shores (pretty hard, considering it's a landlocked country) even though they call it Mikado. Or maybe I just didn't discover it earlier.
First Ben Stein, now Chuck Norris? Why do the seemingly cool people have to become crazy?
Chuck Norris being a political nutjob has been a known fact for quite some time. He also made commercials for Huckabee's presidential campaign last year.
This blog's been around for over a year and already has a book, but I only just found out about it. I have mixed feelings while reading it, because while I can laugh at the funny satire I also feel kind of guilty every time one of the things in the list is something I like, or if I know someone who likes that.
Whenever I read that blog, I laugh a lot, because it is rather strongly representing me. He mentions, among other things, Japan, Organic Food, and wearing scarves, and I probably hit more than 50% of the things he points out. However, the "likes" he picks out seem not so much to be behaviors of Caucasian people in general, but the common cultural stereotypes of the liberal, white, American middle class, and, all things considered most of these behaviors are pretty innocuous. Of course he points out certain hypocrisies, and I think if someone is a member of any culture, they should be aware of their foibles and peculiarities. The author merely (I'm not sure if he is white or not) analyzes cultural trends prevalent among these progressive affluent white people in the manner of an outside observer. Rather than feeling guilty when you, say, talk about snowboarding or NPR, you should merely be aware that you are part of just another cultural group, not a bad one, but maybe one that shares some traits like any other.

That's part of white person guilt. It's as essential to us as oxygen, water, and organic food.
