March 13, 2008 -- CHRISTIAN Lander calls his new (2-month-old), instantaneously popular Web site (11 million hits) StuffWhitePeopleLike.com.

<img align="right" hspace="6" src="https://thepeoplescube.com/images/WhitePeople.jpg">But he admits that it's essentially a vanity list of his own interests as a 29-year-old white Los Angeleno with a graduate degree, a good job and high self-regard. Included in the most recent installment: "The Wire," "Modern Furniture," "Bottled Water." Lander sees himself a satirist in the tradition of those who inspire him: the writers at "The Daily Show" and The Onion.

"It's funny, for me," says Lander. "It's a good satire of the liberal left."

"Observational humor" is a more apt description.

The squib "Threatening To Move to Canada" begins, "Often times, white people get frustrated with the state of their country . . . Whenever they are presented with a situation that seems unreasonable to them, their first instinct is to move to Canada." On "Hating Corporations": "One of the more popular white person activities of the past 15 years is attempting to educate others on the evils of multi-national corporations." On "Gentrification": "White people like to live in these neighborhoods because they get credibility and respect from other white people for living in a more 'authentic' neighborhood where they are exposed to 'true culture' every day."

So far, Lander has been profiled in the LA Times and on NPR, linked to on ComedyCentral.com, and says he is in talks with six publishing houses and lots of production companies. "I live in LA," he says dryly.

StuffWhitePeopleLike, he says, was the best, most apt name; growing up in Montreal and Toronto, he was only ever around "wealthy white liberals. This was the dominant group. The right-wing voice was silenced; the white working class was pushed out."

While Lander is not necessarily wrong that his people may enjoy Mos Def and recycling, the joke doesn't go much further than that, and the entries don't draw any distinction between race and class (which is really what the site is about).

That said, Kanye West is a big fan. And white people like Kanye West.

As for Lander, he doesn't anticipate running out of material anytime soon. And he's still inspired by himself: "The post that really hurt to write was 'Knowing What's Best for Poor People.'"

Because, he says, part of him thinks he does.

The Exxon refinery in Baton Rouge was a cotton field before it was an oil refinery. Many a boy has done some hay throwing as well in the south. Would you say our happy beet picking proles are slaves? No! Of course not.
