That tag line came from a hilarious blog called "What White People
Like". It makes gentle fun of pretentious, upper middle class, aging
hippies with liberal arts degrees and their fads by pretending to
give advise to peoples of colour on the proper buzzwords to use to
ingratiate themselves so they will be liked and invited to their
parties so they can drink their booze.
