A great post over at the blog “Stuff white people like“, where sushi is the topic #42. Apparently there are three types of white sushi eating peoples;

• The spicy tuna/california roll eaters; who get their fix at places named “Rock And Roll!” “Magic Sushi Company,” or Trader Joes-type supermarkets.
• The entry level Sushi snob, these are people who still love rolls, but are willing to branch out to Salmon and Tuna sashimi, maybe even eel
• The white sushi snob - where you only sit at the sushi bar, will try to order in Japanese and will only order Omakase. These people will often be extremely critical of anyone who eats a roll of any type or does not properly flip the nigiri into their mouths…

Ouch…

The whole book on what white people like is now out - Stuff White People Like: A Guide to the Unique Taste of Millions
They love nothing better than sipping free-trade gourmet coffee, leafing through the Sunday New York Times, and listening to David Sedaris on NPR (ideally all at the same time). Apple products, indie music, food co-ops, and vintage T-shirts make them weak in the knees.
