I have always been and remain a big fan of Merlot. I like the soft,
fruity, low tannin, mildly acid, ever so slightly sweet profile and
the fact that it pairs well with a lot of foods that usually call
for white wine.

#42 Sushi

Regardless if you are vegetarian, vegan, or just guilty about eating
meat, all white people love Sushi.  To them, it's everything they
want: foreign culture, expensive, healthy, and hated by the
'uneducated.'

But there are different levels of white person Sushi love.  At the
bottom are the spicy tuna/california roll eaters.  These are the
people who get their fix at places named "Rock And Roll!" "Magic
Sushi Company," or Trader Joes-type supermarkets. Often times, this
sushi isn't the most authentic, but white people can't get enough!

The next level up is 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.

Finally, you have the white sushi snob.  These people just take it
all way too far.  Often times, they will 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 nighiri into their mouths.

When white people get Sushi they all want to order Sake to complete
the authentic experience.

So, how can this information be turned into personal gain?

White people are obsessed with finding good sushi, therefore if you
offer to take them to 'the best sushi place' in town, you are sure
to have them accept.  If you are Asian man, this is an almost
no-fail method of getting dates with white girls, and maybe, just
maybe joining Bruce Lee and Paul Kariya's dad.

In addition, going out for Sushi is considered a special evening in
white person culture.  Not as special as breakfast, but still, it
comes with expectations.

But what if the person you are interested in is a vegetarian?  Not a
problem.  For some reason, most white people who say they are
vegetarians will eat Sushi.  Apparently, fish aren't cute enough to
warrant inclusion with pigs, chickens and cows.
