(although I think it would be pretty funny to be the spokeswoman for white suburban Americans. I'd like to be called on to explain jello salad with marshmallows to someone from a different culture)

Okay first of all, my mom HATED jello salad with marshmmallows so i NEVER had it growing up. I am so deprived.
Secondly, I'm glad to hear that people are aware of such things as I bolded -- I never assumed that people who were not minorities ever thought about it like that.
