I'm white

I went through the full list of Stuff White People Like in order to determine how white I really am. Included here are the things that fit me, and a few that definitely don't...left out the ones I'm kind of neutral on.

#88 Having Gay Friends—there are a few that I suspect…not that there’s anything wrong with that
#87 Outdoor Performance Clothes—never know when there will be a last minute kayak trip
#86 Shorts—wear them all the time
#84 T-Shirts—all I ever wear
#83 Bad Memories of High School—it really sucked
#82 Hating Corporations—especially Wal Mart
#80 The Idea of Soccer—good in theory, but a boring sport
#75 Threatening to Move to Canada—would’ve done it if Giuliani became President
#69 Mos Def

I'm not sure that constitutes white so much as it constitutes being a YUPPIE!
