What does it mean for people to be "as vanilla as they come?"?

Question

McDannel, no, I was not already aware of the answer. If I were, I surely would have used my energy typing elsewhere. I am under the impression that since you chose to use the combination of "dark/black as they come," you took notice to my avatar that showcases an African-American girl. Yes, I am African-American, although I do not understand how this is relevant to your answering my question. Please, do yourself and society a favor by not being so quick to display your ignorance. You do not wear it well. Your avatar of the ocean is quite stunning. In fact, it is so stunning, that you should attach a really heavy anchor to your ankle and TAKE A DIP! HAPPY SWIMMING:-)

Answer 1

to be really really white

Answer 2

Boring, no imagination.

It's an old saying although, with all of the young bucks on here you 'd think  it started with their generation.

It doesn't even need to reference a person: for example

"The way she decorated her house, wasn't ugly it was just very vanilla."  

Answer 3

To be plain in personality and/or style. No pizazz.

Answer 4

Means they're very plain. Personality-wise, usually, I think. Reactions. So on so forth..just plain.  

Answer 5

I think it means to be as plain as they come, vanilla ice cream is as plain as it gets.

Answer 6

This means the same as "dark/black as they come"....very racist. I have a feeling you new this though.  

Answer 7

It means that they are boring.

They have no wish to do anything new and exiting.

It has nothing to do with race or backgound.

Answer 8

really white and pale

Answer 9

As white as they come.

ie; really white and nerdy. Lol

Answer 10

I'm probably vanilla as they come. Not racist though.

Answer 11

white and nerdy :)
