Does humor have a role to play in serious discussions of race? Further, do stereotypes and political incorrectness belong in such conversations? Has dialogue about race changed in response to the rise of new media such as blogs, or is a larger generational shift in mindset responsible? Christian Lander, an ad agency employee turned book author and blogger, will attempt to shed light on these questions. His blog ‘Stuff White People Like’ exploded in popularity last year with its irreverent list of over a hundred items including ‘hummus’, ‘public radio’ and ‘standing still at concerts.’ Please join us for an entertaining discussion of the blog and the questions it raises about how perceptions of race have changed.
