Liking Stuff

It was a matter of time.

With the smashing success of the Web site Stuff White People Like, which treats the white race as a minority with tastes that include New Balance Sneakers, Book Deals, Organic Foods and the Apple Company, other minorities have jumped on the bandwagon.

Taking their place among Stuff Iranians Like, Stuff Educated Black People Like and Stuff White Trash People Like, the Jewish lists are out.

This news came as a blow to me because I had just figured out how to explain Stuff White People Like #71 - Being the Only White Person Around - in Hebrew to describe the sinking feeling I get when surrounded by other Americans in Israel:

“The arrival of the “other white people” to either restaurants or vacation spots instantly means that lines will grow, authenticity will be lost, and the euphoria of being a cultural pioneer will be over.”

In keeping with what I am sure will be item 42, “Having three opinions for every two Jews,” there are two lists. Despite the clunkier title, Stuff Jewish Young Adults Like is a more established blog than its competitor, Stuff Jewish People Like.

As a white, young adult Jewish person, I present my favorites from the two:

• Remembering the Holocaust
• Self-Deprecation
• Answering a Question With Another Question
• Avoiding Large Jewish Organizations
• Florida
• Having Catholic Friends
