Of course not! But after a trip to Food Town with friends as I picked up some stuff for my housewarming, I kept getting teased for my "white" tastes. I guess brie and hummus isn't what's hot right now in the streets. Then upon taking a quiz by the makers of Stuff White People Like
I discovered that I'm 50% white based on my tastes and hobbies. My friend Andrei however, contends that the number is actually somewhere closer to 89%.
While the fact of my blackness is unquestionable, a sista does like indie bands like Wilco, the cult hit "Arrested Development", and reusable grocery bags. However, I think this makes me less "white" than transcendent in the spirit of none other than Senator Obama. Or to get less lofty, it simply reflects my '90s, multi-cultural childhood, with a group of friends that looked like the cast of "Ghostwriter". Moreover, Stuff White People Like is really more like, "Stuff, Young Urban Liberal Professionals Like".
So instead of hating on my crazy urbane tastes, recognize the blipster toughness. Real recognize real.
