About book Stuff White People Like: A Definitive Guide To The Unique Taste Of Millions (2008)
The three things that take this from a mediocre blog binge (it's literally nothing but previous blog posts) in print to kinda sucky:1) An entry devoted to how oh-so-real the "friend zone" (never named) is, and how it's the oh-so-noble goal of every male friend of a woman (the target of mockery is explicitly "platonic friendships")2) An entry on buses no Metro Vancouver resident would recognize as of this world3) An entry that ends with "date a white woman who knits so you can get her to make you a scarf"On behalf of literally everybody who knits, fuck 3 especially. Buku ini berupa sindiran terhadap "orang kulit putih" yang ingin tampil dan bercita rasa unik , namun akhirnya jatuh pada hal-hal yang klise,Lucu dan sinis, dua kombinasi yang saya suka.Misal seperti kutipan di bawah ini :“The role of books in white culture is perhaps as important as organic food—essential for survival. However, understand that this is not about literacy or reading, but about the physical object of a book.”Pada akhir buku ada perhitungan berapa persen selera pembaca terhadap hal-hal klise tadi. Dan ternyata selera saya termasuk sekitar 35% dengan selera klise "orang kulit putih" :))
