(30,151 posts)m generalizing, of course. Yes, I realize you have a black friend who drinks a lot of coffee. Youve even seen him drink coffee with your own eyesmany times. But Im talking about trends here. And the trend is that relative to their Caucasian oppressors, black people dont drink as much coffee as white people do. According to this super-special government document, white American adults drink about three times as much coffee as blacks.
That seems unfair.
Why the disparity? Why the persistent and seemingly ineradicable coffee inequality? If one were so inclined, one could fairly describe American blacks as coffee-deprived. Theyre a coffee-underserved population. You might even allege that urban blacks live in coffee deserts.
