But people were discussing this recently and nobody seemed to know such stereotype. And by definition stereotype is widely known, so I'm not sure this is a stereotype. My guess is that Al didn't find a good rhyme and put a random line instead :lol:

You guys, it's a known stereotype that white people (especially WASPs) love mayonnaise. That's all there is to it.

White Anglo Saxon Protestant (the whitest, and stereotypically most privileged, of white people)

OK, thanks. I hadn't heard that stereotype.

I thought the stereotype was indeed that white people put mayo on everything. Just check out the Eddie Griffin movie "Undercover Brother." There's a section of it where he acts... well... white and nerdy to blend in with a bunch of white people and every time there's a sandwich, it's slathered in mayo. To make it tolerable, he brought in a high-tech wristwatch that can squirt hot sauce on his food. :lol:

But yes, I thought that's always been the stereotype.

I never knew that stereotype existed until a short while ago. Probably because I'm not American and putting mayo on sandwiches isn't a thing we do here at all, to the point where it's considered weird.

Instead, we put our mayo on fries. The way God intended! :lol:
Love and peace.

Some people do that here, too. One thing involving fries that I've seen heated arguments over is whether it's good to dip your fries in milkshakes / ice cream / a Wendy's Frosty / etc. Some love it, and others act like you kicked their dog if you do it.
