Product Description:
They love nothing better than sipping free-trade gourmet coffee, leafing through the Sunday New York Times, and listening to David Sedaris on NPR (ideally all at the same time). Apple products, indie music, food co-ops, and vintage T-shirts make them weak in the knees.
They believe they’re unique, yet somehow they’re all exactly the same, talking about how they “get” Sarah Silverman’s “subversive” comedy and Wes Anderson’s “droll” films. They’re also down with diversity and up on all the best microbrews, breakfast spots, foreign cinema, and authentic sushi. They’re organic, ironic, and do not own TVs.
You know who they are: They’re white people. And they’re here, and you’re gonna have to deal. Fortunately, here’s a book that investigates, explains, and offers advice for finding social success with the Caucasian persuasion. So kick back on your IKEA couch and lose yourself in the ultimate guide to the unbearable whiteness of being.

Only caveat is this book describes White folks who tend to be left leaning and maybe fall into the Yuppie category and from at least upper middle class background. It does describe them to the teeth. Now all my intuition about these White folks that I developed over the years have been validated with such humor. Could never understand their love for Oscar parties and New Balance shoes.

Just put this by the porcelain throne and you will extend your stay a minimum of 10 minutes. It's just like the blog, only there are more hysterical entries and viciously accurate observations on the current state of the urban white hipster class. Plus, now that it comes in a paper version you won't have to tote your laptop into the john and risk overheating sensitive regions. A win-win proposition all around.

When I got to the chapter about Chomsky I finally realized that all white people live in New York City and San Francisco.
