The desire for White Castle stems from a television advertisement that explicitly hails Harold and Kumar. They want “the perfect food,” and as if in response to their request, the advertisement starts: “Don’t you like food that’s tasty and delicious? Then what are you waiting for? Head over to White Castle. It’s what you crave.” Kumar points to his chest, responds “I do” to the advertisement voiceover’s questions and allows himself to be interpellated into the position of consumer. He wants to be like everyone else—the white mainstream—addressed by this advertisement without having to think about his racial position. Thus the decision to go to White Castle is not an original one; while Kumar attempts to resist interpellations into the racial position of Indian doctor, he embraces the interpellation into the position of a (raceless) middle-class consumer. In this light, we can read the journey to White Castle as a struggle for the erasure of race in cultural identification.
