stereotyping myself

Stuff Educated Black People Like v. Stuff White People Like

Naturally, I would read the EBP list first, to see how I rate alongside other educated black people; but I ran into the WP list first, so that was my first evaluation. Oddly enough, I have a whole lot in common with white people – 25% of that list (23 out of 92). Does that make me white (or 1/4 white, for now)? Or am I just a product of my upbringing in a predominantly white town/school/neighborhood/college?

On the other hand, I don’t feel like I have a lot in common with my fellow EBP’s… However, according to my recent calculations, I have 7 out of 24 things in common with EBP’s – almost 30% of the current list. That makes me more black than white (for now)!

I guess that makes sense… :)

P.S. my favorite on the EBP list is #13 – “Talking About Uneducated Black People”.

    I prefer the site: stuff black people hate. I think that is far more interesting and unifying!
