It's true that "Stuff White People Like" is a blogging phenomenon, but it can't lay claim to being the first of its kind. In 1999 Calgary Herald writer Stephen Hunt wrote a play called "The White Guy" as a way of coming to terms with the problems caused by the men of his race, not without a hint of irony.
