A guy I work with once went with his two black friends to their local chip shop, owned by a big Jamaican guy.
He was the only white person in there, and when he placed his order, the owner went "Dja want gravy wit dat? White people always want graavyy".
He did want gravy.
"How dare you! But yes."
"I knew when you walked in you were gonna order the chicken"
"All these years I thought I liked chicken 'cause it was delicious! Turns out I was genetically predisposed to liking chicken."
I'm white and I want gravy
Racial profiling in food is just an attempt to deliver the customer what they want. It would be the most benign form.
I'm oldish and pasty white, I have a hell of a time getting Mexican places to make it proper hot.
That said, I do love me potatoes and gravy...
Hell yeah, I want gravy.
In fairness, gravy is the tits
White. Brown. It's all good. Can't go wrong. Same goes for gravy.
My wife is white and every time she gets forks and spoons at a Asian restaurant, she's absolutely delighted. She can use chopsticks, just not well.
