Stuff White People Like
Someone left a newspaper on the train I took this morning (the Daily Mail) and I had a flip through it and came across this article…the content seemed familiar. The end of the article points out that Stuff White People Like: The Definitive Guide to the Unique Taste of Millions is now available in the UK.
This is a book based on the popular website.
Interesting difference is it talks about “middle class people” instead of White people. Class as opposed to race.
Possibly because over 90% of the UK population is White (according to the 2001 census) vs. 74% in the US (according to 2006 American Community Survey)…people just aren’t faced with race as an issue so much outside of London.
According to the 2001 census 45% of all ethnic minority people live in the London area, where they form nearly one-third of the population (29%).
The only reason I knew these stats exist is from studying random statistics for the Life in the UK test.
I passed by the way : )
