From the popular blog Stuff White People Like, we get #82 on its running list: Hating Corporations.

It’s hilarious and dead-on:

One of the more popular white person activities of the past fifteen years is attempting to educate others on the evils of multi-national corporations. White people love nothing more than explaining to you how Wal*Mart, McDonalds, Microsoft, Halliburton are destroying the Earth’s culture and resources.

While the growth of multi-national corporations can be attributed to a number of complex social, economic and political factors, many white people prefer to take the word of two trusted sources: No Logo and AdBusters.

…buy a copy to leave on your coffee table. When white people see it, they will recognize you as someone who can see through the advertising and has a proper perspective on life.

When engaging in a conversation about corporate evils it is important to NEVER, EVER mention Apple Computers, Target or Ikea in the same breath as the companies mentioned earlier. White people prefer to hate corporations that don’t make stuff that they like.

UPDATE: Skimming the site a little more, I see that #8 on the list is “Barack Obama“.

Going full circle, you’ll remember that back in late February, Mrs. Obama (who makes plenty of money sitting on corporate boards herself) told women in economically troubled Zanesville, Ohio (where the median income for female workers last year was $20,142) the following:

“We left corporate America, which is a lot of what we’re asking young people to do,” she tells the women. “Don’t go into corporate America.”

Scientific approach, indeed!
