Stuff White People Like is a blog that takes satirical aim at the interests of North American "left-leaning, city-dwelling white folk". [1] The blog, hosted by Wordpress, was created in January 2008 by white Canadian Christian Lander, who grew up in Toronto, Ontario [2] and graduated from McGill University in Montreal. Lander co-authored the site with his Filipino Canadian friend Myles Valentin, [3] [4] [5] [6] after Valentin teased Lander about his watching the HBO television series The Wire. [7] It became popular very quickly, registering over 300,000 daily hits and over 40 million total hits by the end of September 2008. [5]

Although the blog "has spurred an outpouring from those who view it as offensive and racist", it is not about the interests of all white people, but rather a stereotype of affluent, environmentally and socially conscious, anti-corporate white North American hipsters, who typically hold a degree in the liberal arts. [7] Lander claims to be satirizing contemporary versions of yuppie culture. [7]
