Stuff That I Like



I found 2 hilarious websites as a result of stalling in Barnes and Nobles to avoid getting my perfectly straightened hair wet.  I looked at Stuff White People Like, the book, and I must say, I was laughing aloud.  Not since the Daily Show's book America, did such a strong reaction ensue.  So, I checked out the website, which is hilarious.  Fortunately, I did not waste the $14.00 on the book, as the website is essentially the book.  Of course, curiosity led me to check out potential websites about my peeps, the Desi/Brown people.  There is in fact a "stuff that desi/brown people like" website, which is equally humorous.  However, although I am a Brown chick, I actually liked more of the stuff that white people liked, such as the Apple products, the Toyota Prius, Indie music, music festivals, Whole Foods, and Asian fusion cuisine.  Oh, I cannot forget, Barack Obama (#8, SWPL).  However, the Desi/Brown people website nailed it with the "Niagara Falls" comparison to the American Varanasi, as usually the first place most of our parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, etc. from India visit is. . . Niagara Falls.
