Next up is Robocop…

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:

• Stuff Jewish people like
• Stuff Educated Black people like
• Stuff Asian people like

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?
