Why do white people like Apple Pie?

Tradition.

I love collard greens. Most people down south seem to. White or black.

You don't have to be black to enjoy collards. For the record, I'm white and I love collards. And you can add mustard and turnip greens to the list of what I like. Try them.

Not just black people like collard greens. It is mainly a southern thing though.

they taste good, and are good source of fiber

Do you practice being a Moron or does it come natural??

It's one of those dishes that's cheap and easy. It became popular all over the country during the Great Depression when money was scarce and you might have ten cents to feed your family their dinner. Lots of folks learned that foods formerly looked down on as "junk the Indians eat" is abundant and nutritious. Collard greens, dandelion leaves, mustard greens, field peas and snap beans are just a few of those cheap and easily found goodies of field and forest. And here's a newsflash: black folks didn't enjoy it any more than white folks: we were all in the same boat.

Stop stereotyping! Not all black people enjoy collard greens.
