A poll for the caucasian and African American people?

[Prettygurl12]

My coweorker (black) told me (white) that 9 times out of 10, if you ask people, white people will choose pumpkin pie and black people will choose sweet potato pie.

So... naturally we went through our department and polled all the officers and dispatchers on their choice lol and my coworker's assessment was true.

What about y'all?

Please note that this is intended to be good-humored and is not intended to be offensive. I am the only caucasian on my shift (there are other white people throughout the department otherwise our whole poll experiment wouldn't have been productive lol) and my coworkers and I have very honest, educational, and light-hearted discussions about racial differences and relations all the time.

Also, we're in the southern US so I think our poll results may have been skewed lmao

I'm white and I hate pumpkin pie. Pumpkin pie and lemon pie are the only types of pie I don't like. I've never had sweet potato pie, but I love sweet potato, and it sounds like it'd be pretty close to sweet potato casserole (which I also love). So yeah, I'll take the sweet potato pie.

I'm honestly not sure I've had sweet potato pie before (I'm white)

I’m white and I’ve never had sweet potato pie before. It’s not on purpose or because I’m white - I just don’t think it’s much of a thing in Canada. It seems to be a very American Thanksgiving dish.

[Prettygurl12]

It's specifically a southern-US thing. I'm originally from Michigan (very northern part of the US) and sweet potato pie isn't a thing. We have a sweet potato dish at Thanksgiving but not a pie.

Sweet potato pie all day, every day.
REAL sweet potato pie. They must baked, not boiled. And there must be zero nutmeg because it masks the flavor. Of the sweet potato.

I'm not black I'm mixed I like both but sweet potato pie is definitely delicious.

[worldscolide]

I'm white and I don't like either.. I guess I'm weird

[Pipeliner87]

I'm white but I pick sweet pie only because black people shoot you in south africa if you don't comply with their culture.

[Tunasub]

I like them both but was brought up making sweet potato pie

[Snakeyes7]

I’m white and I would have a very difficult time choosing. I’d take both if I could.

[DanOh2018]

Sweet potato pie is less widely available for one thing.

Pumkin Pie

I think this more a of a culture thing than a race thing

[Rissyanne]

Actually I like sweet potato pie over pumpkin

[Avicenna]

I like them both, but prefer pumpkin

[RedThread]

Eww what if I'm white and dislike them both?

[Prettygurl12]

I prefer fruit pies myself, but between the two... I pick pumpkin.

[Nik1hil]

I am chocolate and I want a pie

[AynonOMouse]

I am White and I don't care for pies. :P

[bklynbadboy1]

I'm black and for me it has to be sweet potato pie

[Plitty-Tank]

I am white and pick pumpkin pie.
