As a Belgian I consider myself a bit of an ambassador on chocolate and after discussing this with all my fellow countrymen we came to the unanimous conclusion that you are wrong. Please apologize and remove this post.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
6. Defend your opinion
This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don't expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

MODERATORS
I asked the Netherlanders what they thought of your comment, and I couldn't understand a fucking word they said, but they seemed angry.
Are you sure they weren't American? We're always getting angry at things we don't understand.
As a Swiss I feel like I can easily out-ambassador you and I will disagree. White chocolate is awesome and OP should keep loving it.
Going off of the comments already, I would say that this is a truly unpopular opinion. Well done, OP!
I can't tell the pretentious assholes apart from the people jokily pretending to be pretentious assholes. Great stuff.
Are saltine crackers your favorite potato chips?
If you prefer white chocolate to other kinds you just don't like chocolate that much, which is fine, but don't lie to us about it
Im glad you like your sugary milky butter. Have the day you deserve.
White chocolate shouldn't even be called chocolate.
I so agree. Its nice with strawberries. sorta like the way powdered sugar is.

Might as well just say you like sugar. I've never had white chocolate that isn't caked full of sugar, but dark chocolate is 👌
White chocolate literally just tastes like sugar and fat. And "sour"??? What dark chocolate are you eating? This one actually pissed me off fr. Truly unpopular opinion.
My guess is they’re American and damaged by Hershey's puke
As an American pushing 40, I will tell you, in my whole life, I have rarely ever seen someone just eating a Hershey bar. And I mean very rarely, like twice in my life. They are usually used in some other way like S'mores.
When someone wants just chocolate they grab something better like Ghirardelli or something.
Maybe they meant bitter.
White chocolate is just sugary butter, you are a simpleton. Good day sir or madam.
Maybe because it's not chocolate and we should stop calling it this.
Depends! If you consider chocolate to be food derived from the cocoa bean, then white chocolate is chocolate because it's made of cocoa butter without the solids!
The powdery stuff you call cocoa is what's left over once you get rid of the cocoa butter. So if you feel that cocoa solids are required for something to be classified as chocolate... Then no, it's not chocolate.
I guess it's the same as asking if vegetable oil is a vegetable.

You're wrong
Is there something unpopular about liking white chocolate?
I don't hate white chocolate but I prefer the regular kind.
Wait, is dark chocolate actually sour to you? Dark chocolate is definitely not sour for me. Bitter maybe, but absolutely not sour.
if they are American then dark chocolate can very well taste sour, look into what Hershey did, literally use soured milk to make chocolate...
Does anyone have any white chocolate candies they recommend?
I'm very much in love with Schogetten white chocolate. It's not candies but it's split into pecies and they just melt in your mouth.
Milk Chocolate > White Chocolate > Dark Chocolate.
Milk chocolate is the best of chocolates when there are no extra additives on it's own.
Dark Chocolate as much as I hate it, IS better than white chocolate on it's own.
White chocolate without any sort of flavor enhancers is just so damn bland. However, it's just like eating salt on it's own. Gross by itself, but delicious with something else to go with it. White chocolate is a catalyst. Milk Chocolate is a treat. Dark Chocolate goes in the trash. I'll begrudgingly eat it if I have no other better chocolate around lol.
The only people I've ever seen like dark chocolate are people who hate themselves, take scalding hot showers with the heat of a thousand suns, and enjoy starting their day with black coffee. AKA, people who had no self esteem as a teenager until they forced adult habits on themselves before they were ready rather than admitting they like 'childish' stuff. Cultural masculinity is so weird.
I didn't think this was going to be an unpopular opinion, but this apparently strikes a nerve with chocolate lovers.
Anyway, I don't agree with the claim but taste is always a personal preference and it's pointless stating one is better than the other.
Wow I didnt know that this is such an unpopular opinion. There's nothing wrong with liking white chocolate.
Liking white chocolate doesnt mean not liking chocolate. When i want sth sweet, i prefer white chocolate, but I'm also a fan of dark chocolate (60%-80%).
Upvote because I whole heartedly disagree with you.
