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.

White. Brown. It's all good. Can't go wrong. Same goes for gravy.

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...

"All these years I thought I liked chicken 'cause it was delicious! Turns out I was genetically predisposed to liking chicken."

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.

Hell yeah, I want gravy.
