So I just spent half an hour reading the blog.

I tried keeping an open mind, I really did, but I can't get past the phrase "white people." It jars me every time I read it.

It's as offensive to me as if someone started a blog named "Stuff Black People Like."

which of course, wouldn't be that offensive to you.

I had no idea you were so politically correct Lingo.

You know, regarding racism against whites, I've never been offended by the stuff. I thought this blog was hilarious. Regarding racism against blacks, Hispanics, et cetera, having never been a minority myself, I don't particularly feel qualified to tell somebody else what they ought to consider offensive and inoffensive. Doesn't hurt me any to keep quiet if it will make somebody else's life easier.

My two bits, anyway.

I always get a chuckle whenever a black comedian that does a white guy imitation.

In this category, I submit perhaps the greatest example of them all......Eddie Murphy doing his "white person" dance. I think it was in "Delirious." He was doing that bit about every time you see a white person dance they are doing the same move over and over. His interpretation is spot-on 80s dancing.

Eddie Murphy used to be really funny.

I thought his "White like me" SNL skit was incredible.

So predictable.

I had $10 on you implying I'm racist. Tex put his money on Lebowski.

Does he include that face that every white guy makes? My roommate called it the ape face.

I dont remember well enough. I looked it up and it was on "Raw." I was looking for it right now on youtube, but there are WAY too many f-bombs in those youtube clips.
