White Chocolate isn't Chocolate.
I am not coming at this from a place of being an "Um...Actually" guy on the Internet who came across a fun fact like "Did you know White Chocolate isn't actually Chocolate", I can break this down with Etymology and History!
The Word Chocolate comes from the Nahuatl (Aztec) word Xocolatl meaning "Bitter Water" a Drink made with Cocoa bean. The Aztecs lacked the Sugar and Milk that we use to make Chocolate sweet and drank it bitter and fermented with spices and it was considered a valuable delacy to them with a history dating all the way back to 1900-1500 BCE. They also believed that the Cocoa bean was the food of the Gods given as a gift to humanity by the God Quetzalcoatl the Precious Feathered Serpent. How dare you insult Quetzalcoatl's gift to humanity by calling it "White Chocolate".
I am not going to be a purist and say that it's only really Chocolate if it's 100% bitter Cocoa or if it's not prepared like how the Mexica tribe original drank it, although I will admit I prefer the taste of Dark Chocolate. My point is that Chocolate is defined by the Presence of Cocoa.
"White Chocolate" was originally called a "Milkybar" invented in 1936 in Switzerland by the company Nestle and introduced to the United State a whole decade later. It's about as White as it gets and it tries to claim to be the same thing as something with Cultural significance to Native Mexican people with a history of over 1000 years but takes out the very thing that made it significant to them.
Just call it something different, go back to calling it a Milkybar or something!
