About: Stuff South African white people like

In adapting Christian Lander's cult book, Stuff White People Like, to provide insights about South African white people, the authors considered a few aspects unique to South Africa, including the fascinating peculiarities of English- and Afrikaans-speaking white people. These groups have certain physical differences, as will be clear to anyone who has watched Daniel Pienaar beat Grey High School 56-0 at rugby. Perhaps English-speakers show a greater propensity to irony, Carte Blanche and consuming craft beers. An Afrikaans-speaking white person might be a bigger fan of Oppikoppi, Hiluxes and saying, 'Tjeers vir eers!' However, there are more similarities than differences. Most things white people like are coloured by our blue-collar self-image, our world-class aspirations and our admiration for Madiba, Charlize Theron and braaivleis. If I can give one piece of advice, it is: 'Never say anything bad about rhinos while a white person is in earshot.' Authors Lander and Engler are indeed astute observers of human idiosyncrasies, with a keen eye for the ridiculous.
