If you haven’t visited Christian Lander’s hilarious blog Stuff White People Like yet (or read his bestselling book based thereon) you’re simply missing out. A few moments with his satirical observations on the unbearable whiteness of being and you’ll be able to understand (and, perhaps, to exploit) folks of Caucasian persuasion like never before.
Christian Lander came down to San Diego for a day of the recent Comic Con. After meeting fans and taking in the convention scene, he distills the convention's connection to whiteness as only he can:

"...the unbearable whiteness of being..." Great line.
Not many insights in the youtube video. For instance, while it's true that Comic-Con fans love their T-shirts, what sets them apart is their love for T-shirts with ironic, witty, or covertly insulting statements. Alternately, the shirts have inside jokes, coder jokes, etc.. Basically, the shirts always say something meant to make you think the wearer is cool for having picked up on the joke/insight/reference. The more obscure the reference, the cooler the wearer.
You know, white people have always perplexed me....THANK GOD FOR THIS BOOK!
