First - Happy Valentine's Day! This is as sappy as I get. (Thanks, Feral Girl!)
Second - Stuff White People Like. Excerpt:
#62: Knowing what's best for poor people.
White people spend a lot of time of worrying about poor people. It takes up a pretty significant portion of their day.
They feel guilty and sad that poor people shop at Wal*Mart instead of Whole Foods, that they vote Republican instead of Democratic, that they go to Community College/get a job instead of studying art at a University.
It is a poorly guarded secret that, deep down, white people believe if given money and education that all poor people would be EXACTLY like them. In fact, the only reason that poor people make the choices they do is because they have not been given the means to make the right choices and care about the right things...

You know that there are a great number of people who believe this.
Hope you and Rupert had a lovely V Day
Emily -
The whole site is a pretty good send-up of a sub-set of affluent white folk. Made me giggle.
We're celebrating Valentine's on Saturday, with a real meal and everything!
