Why do people say “that’s so vanilla” to call something boring?
That’s not fair to vanilla. It’s not plain. It’s not just the “water” of ice cream. Vanilla is a flavor. It’s a taste. Vanilla is a flavor that is rich and tasty.
Ya, it’s not as zesty as even a few of the other basics like strawberry or mint chip. But you gonna tell me vanilla is significantly less complex of a taste than chocolate?
Gimmie a break dude. Lets just call this for what we all know it really is. Hating on whitey.
It’s the old “white men can’t jump/dance/or be cool” line, repackaged into a frozen sugar & cream metaphor.
Well screw that. If you don’t like the taste of vanilla then fine. But don’t put your bigotry on my people by using the outdated and false stereotype of vanilla being bland or uninteresting.
Vanilla Power.
