Stuff _____ people like

If you haven’t caught wind of this new blog trend, then you must continue reading.
It all started with “Stuff White People Like” — a rather brilliant idea for a blog/site, if you ask me. The site’s about us page explains the site as follows:
This is a scientific approach to highlight and explain stuff white people like. They are pretty predictable.
Not only well though out and verbose (or not), it surely possesses stopping power — almost as much as Overheard in __. As you can expect, the site has caused quite a stir online and offline, with the site gaining free PR from tons of outlets (now including myself). Now there have been a bunch of copycats as well as bloggers listing potential expansions to the idea.
Here are some sites/posts I could find playing off this idea:
Here are some ideas from ThunkDifferent on where this may lead to:
- Stuff People Like
- Stuff Americans like
- Stuff Suburbanites like
- Stuff Democrats like
- Stuff Republicans like
- Stuff Ralph Nadar likely likes
- Stuff people in this mail catalogue probably like
- Stuff my boss likes
- Stuff people at my high school like
- Stuff people at ___ university like
- Stuff other people can’t like
- Stuff WASPS like
- Stuff fat people like
- Stuff people shopping at office max like (haha, just there!)
- Stuff progressive fill-in-the-blank-religion like
- Stuff PC Yuppies like
- Stuff the person next to me at the coffee shop likes
So the question lies, is this cool, proper, and ok? Or is it raciest, wrong, and inappropriate?
