Whiter Shades of Pale

In 2008, Christian Lander wrote the 23-week New York Times bestseller Stuff White People Like. Christian Lander has now traveled the nation, speaking about the book, and also obtaining further knowledge of the White People of America. His travels around the country helped him realise as much as all white people were the same, in many ways they are slightly, superficially different. But then again, there are few things that white people like more than slight, superficial differences! With approximately 30 line-drawings throughout to illustrate his point (as well as more than 100 brand-new entries) the book will finally expose America's White People, region-by-region, from San Francisco to Austin to Boston to everywhere in between, and readers will learn, hilariously, exactly what it means to be White in the USA.

HOW WHITE YOU ARE! If you thought you had white people pegged as Oscar-party-throwing, Prius-driving, Sunday New York Times–reading, self-satisfied latte lovers—you were right. But if you thought diversity was just for other races, then hang on to your eco-friendly tote bags. Veteran white person Christian Lander is back with fascinating new information and advice on dealing with the Caucasian population. Sure, their indie-band T-shirts, trendy politics, vegan diets, and pop-culture references make them all seem the same. But a closer look reveals that from Austin to Australia, from L.A. to the U.K., indigenous white people are as different from one another as 1 percent rBGH-free milk is different from 2 percent. Where do skinny jeans and bulky sweaters rule? Where is down-market beer the nectar of the hip? If you want to know the places cute girls with bangs and cool guys with beards roam and emo musicians and unpaid interns call home, you’d better switch off the Adult Swim reruns, put down that copy of The Onion, pick up this book, and prepare to see the white.
