No, this stuff is pretty definitively “liberal upper-middle-class white”, as far as I’ve seen. I find it funny because it is not the same recycled “white people” jokes that minority comedians use over and goddamn over. I can honestly say that the best “white people” jokes I have heard from anyone still living come from George Carlin and my “ethnically-ambiguous-looking” little sister (She has a lot of sarcastic bitterness in her heart for a… tween? Perhaps this is the new age group standard).
Also: upper-middle-class white = very very dramatically different from lower-middle-class and even middle-middle-class anybody, especially people of color.

Hmm. Missing the joke here. Seems to be a list of cliches about middle class trendies.
And that’s, what, about 80% of the people who read weblogs?
