It could be just me

A friend of mine reminded me of a statement I made a couple of years ago. I said that asparagus is a vegatable of white people. I only said it because I've never seen it at any black person's house that I know. It was inappropriate, but in reality, I didn't know any black people who eat asparagus.

So for the past few years, she's been trying to convince me that I'm wrong by informally polling black people to see if they like asparagus. I'm going to say this once and only once:

I may have been mistaken about the asparagus thing. Perhaps I judged asparagus too hastily instead of giving it a chance. This doesn't mean I'm going to eat asparagus any time soon, but I won't speak against it either.
