Christian Lander has followed up his bestselling ‘Stuff White People Like’ with ‘Whiter Shades of Pale,’ a coast-to-coast look at the habits and peccadilloes of various cities’ white folk. In this exclusive book trailer, Lander and his friend Alex choose which Prius to take as they cruise the streets of Los Angeles playing white person bingo. Will they find girls with bangs? Ray-Bans? Guys with beards? Look out, Intelligentsia, they’re heading for you.

They’re also headed for Los Angeles. Lander will be signing ‘Whiter Shade of Pale’ at Book Soup at 7 p.m. Nov. 29.
