According to Duncan, members of the band had played together before in Scotland, but had moved to London separately and met up by chance at a Traffic concert. They decided to jam together; a friend heard them and remarked: "This is too much for the average white man," which became adapted as the name of the band.

A bit more credible perhaps and certainly funnier is the story that black talent scout Keith Harris, attached to Stevie Wonder's management, was told after asking if the band was any good: Well, they are better than the average white band.
Probably apocryphal anyway, as Harris did not work in the music industry yet in 1971.

The first is that it is about a set phrase. Q: How cold is it outside? A: Too cold for the average white man. Hmm.
