Re the cornbread article, that was completely the reverse of what I would have guessed based on having lived in the South for 2/3 of my life. It is damn near impossible to find a place that doesn't serve cake-style cornbread, no matter the ethnicity of its primary clientele. I'm the odd person out, who prefers not just cornbread that isn't sweet, but cornbread that looks like flapjacks, which I then butter heavily, rather than cake squares. I would have speculated that white people want sweet cornbread because they're used to having sugar in everything. (Yes, this topic makes me grumpy.)
