Hace tiempo compré este libro y me acabo de dar cuenta que hay una página de Internet que es una extensión del mismo. Me llamó mucho la atención que una de las entradas del autor describe muy certeramente el comportamiento de varios de mis conocidos norteamericanos, incluyendo el de mi novia.
Where the Wild Things Are
It is a guarantee that whenever it is announced that a popular book is being turned into a movie, white people will get upset. This is partly due to their fear that something they love will be made accessible to more people and thus enjoyed by more people which immediately decreases the amount of joy a white person can feel towards the original property. Yes, it’s complicated.
The other problem is that these announcements create a ticking time bomb where by a white person must read the book in ADVANCE of the release of the movie. This is done partly so that they can engage in the popular activity of complaining about how the movie failed to capture the essence of the book.
En su libro (stuff white people like) el autor menciona una infinidad de cosas que explican de manera graciosa el comportamiento de los norteamericanos. Algunos ejemplos son:
- Organic food
- Yoga
- Having Black friends
- David Sedaris
- Apple products
- Being an expert on YOUR culture
- Knowing whats best for poor people
- Promising to learn a language
