White Guy

By Stephen Hunt

Meet the species that has ruled the world for the last 3,000 years (give or take the 7th century, and the Seventies). Who dropped not one but two nukes, killing thousands of non-white guys? Who launched the biggest religious crusade of all time? Who has done more than their share of melting the ozone layer? Who stole rock 'n' roll and won't give it back? Yup: white guys. Stephen Hunt is, and always has been, a white guy. But then he married Melanee, a black woman from Baltimore. Now as he plays with their African-Canadian son, he has started to realize he isn't the solution-he's part of the problem. In this tell-all exposï??, Hunt puts on his anthropologist's hat and looks at what makes white guys tick: how we dress (not very well, unless you dig khakis with denim shirts); how we communicate (coldly, at least with non-white guys); what we value (guns and being safe); and who we invite into our inner sanctums. His research has unearthed the 10 Whitest Songs Ever (A Whiter Shade of Pale, Play That Funky Music White Boy) and 10 Sports White Guys Still Play Better Than Anyone, If You Don't Count Tiger (golf, hockey, NASCAR and bass fishing).

A white guy book for people of all or no colors

This is a great book. It's not white supremecist, for anyone who might have misinterpreted. It's funny. It makes you think. It's honest about white people, and many of the mistakes we've made. It's current, great. It's laugh out loud funny. Poking fun at white people is something any one can do, but it's more fun coming from a white person. If you like humor you'll probably like this book. If you're extremely easily offended this might not be for you. All in all, a great book.
