Are You A G.W.P. Too?
I don’t know what I am.
Though this sounds like some sort of existentialist dilemma, it’s really a more concrete issue than it sounds. My tallest daughter was invited to a potluck. On the surface that sounds like a pretty innocuous event; you show up, you eat, and you have a good time. But here’s the rub: It’s a multicultural potluck.
You’re supposed to bring a dish that represents your family’s cultural heritage. That would be cool, except for the fact that we don’t really identify as a particular cultural background. We’re a little German, a little Irish, and little Swedish, and little Russian, you name it, we’re a little bit of it.
We are G.W.P. -- generic white people.
I don’t know what you bring to a potluck when you are a generic white person. I suggested Kraft cheese slices on Wonder Bread, but my wife overruled me.
What is the appropriate dish to bring to a multicultural potluck when you are a G.W.P.? Let me know in the comments section below!
