White people like (unpaid) internships

Had to pass this along,

Stuff White People Like, #105 Unpaid Internships

Its in satire here but the reality of race is something that we still need to be thinking about. I feel that in a lot of our work class appears to be the most glaring difference between us and those we serve. In most cases we are here because we can afford to spend a summer with no (or little) pay. Class is a consistent difference but I believe that race is still there in the background as a factor in how classes shape out. Many of our non-white colleagues already know this.

I have done a good bit of reading on race (for a white person) and this blog is still one of the best guides to contemporary white culture. Plus its hilarious.
