Stephen Hunt 
The White Guy 
A Field Guide

Let’s face it: Everyone’s a little bit racist. So why not talk about it the only way we can, this side of warfare — via humor? In
The White Guy, Stephen Hunt tries to come to grips with his whiteness in order to continue to rule the world, amass the bulk of its wealth, and generally dominate things as his people have done for the past 2, 000 years, give or take a few odd moments like the rise of Attila the Hun, the rule of the 7th-century Caliphate, or the ’70s. Then again, if you’re not a white guy, this is the ultimate insider’s guide to the minds of the men responsible for everything that’s wrong with the world or your life: apartheid, colonialism, ethnic cleansing, the glass ceiling, patriarchy, serial killing, NASCAR, K-tel® Records, even the theft of rock ‘n’ roll.
The White Guy humorously turns racial politics on its head, while delivering a subtle message about tolerance.
