It’s nice to see another example of a casual hobby blog turning into a globally popular phenomenon and breaking into other media formats – this time it’s Christian Lander’s massively popular ‘Stuff White People Like’ blog, which started as an amusing joke between friends a little over 18 months ago – and has now seen its author do numerous US tours, appear on prime time talk shows and release a much-anticipated book.
The blog does exactly what you’d expect, featuring over a hundred short comic posts titled after all the things that ‘white people like’ – from ‘coffee’, ‘architecture’, or ‘Michel Gondry’ right through to ‘music piracy’, ‘black music that black people don’t listen to anymore’, ‘Facebook,’ and ‘hummus’.
Anyway the whole thing…
