The wide world of whiteness....

Gregory Rodriguez of the L.A. Times wrote a column about stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com. A tongue-in-cheek blog, it really does hit on all the things white people do and don't do.
Try to read it seriously, but not too seriously. Honestly, some many of those things are true.
Rodriguez brings up the issue of "white people" becoming a minority in the U.S. I think I heard that by 2050, most citizens will be from Asia, Latin America or Africa.
It does bring up an interesting discussion on white culture. What is white culture? is it either being white trash or being Westside hipster. Often, it is an either/or scenario. More so, what is it to be white? European? Icelandish? Variations of Native American?
Something worth thinking about.
