I feel that the description of the blog as describing not all white people but "a stereotype of affluent, environmentally and socially conscious, anti-corporate white North American hipsters, who typically hold a degree in the liberal arts", is missing the point. Part of the point of the blog is pointing out that white privilege allows us to think about white people as "unique individuals" and say exactly that, as oppose to drawing conclusions about all white people based on a small group. Part of the point of the blog is that he is using (insert adjective) hipsters to act as representations of white people, something that generally our privilege allows us to avoid.
