Here's what I'd like to see in America, and really, the entire world:

Quote:
16 And there were no envyings, nor strifes, nor tumults, nor whoredoms, nor lyings, nor murders, nor any manner of lasciviousness; and surely there could not be a happier people among all the people who had been created by the hand of God.
17 There were no robbers, nor murderers, neither were there Lamanites, nor any manner of -ites; but they were in one, the children of Christ, and heirs to the kingdom of God.
Quote:
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

If we keep focusing on race differences, even in a humorous way, I believe it has a negative effect.

actually stuff that white people like is a new take on making fun of yuppies.

But instead of saying "yuppies" he says "white people."

Smart move, because if he had gone with the former, then no one would have cared.

The person who I know that best fits STWPL is an Asian-American female, btw. It's actually not very race specific. It's class specific.

I think we should start a blog called "Stuff Mormons Pretend to Like". It could feature all the stupid/quirky things that people spend money on to show everyone else how fully invested they are but that they can't possibly really like. Tops on my list are:

-Horrible movies with a Mormon Theme
-RULDS2, RWH, Happiness is FHE etc... bumper stickers
-Kinkaid paintings
-Framed proclamations to the world

It was a good idea until I read your list.

I thought you were going to say stuff like:
-Blacks
-Gays
-Diversity
-People of other religions
-Visitors from out of state
