I read it twice and then saw what he meant. I think he's alluding to how since the flavor vanilla is associated with whiteness, "vanillify" has a cheeky double meaning: make more respectable and make more white skinned.

Vanilla ice cream is white because milk is white, and because it doesn't take a lot of vanilla to flavor it. If you have a good vanilla ice cream, you'll see little black specs in it; that's the vanilla.
