[SonnyDaze]

Last time I went to Arby's, they were out of potatoes. Game over man.

I found it hilarious that all the people in the clip were black. It's a funny stereotype that's far from harmful.

I wouldn't give two shits because I'm not stupid enough to think anyone's actually making a conscious effort to imply that only white males are child molesters.

I'm anything but simple minded. The fact that I can even sit back and laugh at stereotypes, including my own, speaks volumes about my level of social evolution. Just because you have a redwood lodged up your ass doesn't mean I have to have one too.

I go to Popeyes often and see plenty of non black people there. But in this news story they're only showing black people? I find it impossible to believe they couldn't find one white person trying to get chicken to film. I would go so far as to say they could have easily found dozens of white people, or Asians or whatever to film. The media cracks me up. It's sad shit like this is acceptable

Who cares who they found and who they didn't? Corellation != causation. Just because there's a bunch of black people and a fried chicken joke doesn't mean there's any sort of racism involved. It's stereotypically hilarious, but so are all stereotype jokes. They're stereotypes for a reason, people, and there's nothing racist about it. Even then, who gives a shit if there is? Oh noez, a news agency edited out all teh whities (not) buying popeyes chicken! The world is coming to an end! The fucking sky is falling oh noes!!

Maybe the popeyes is located in a predominantly black community? What then?

This, too. Also, what if the reporters were black? Would that change anything about the story? Or the people in the story? No.

 

[HomeBrewerDude]

I'd be disappointed too. I love Popeye's!

 

[dbk]

damn, give me some popeyes

 

[Leros]

"How am I supposed to feed my kids now?"

Give me a break, lady.

 

[lokiju]

I had some Popeyes when heading down to FL on the turnpike and holy shit I've never ate food that actually made me have to take a dump while in the middle of eating it before like that did.

EDIT: I went to Dunkin Donuts before and they were out of donuts.

Doubtful, I've lived in predominantly black communities and if Popeyes there ever ran out of chicken they wouldn't have been this polite. With the exception of the lady in the SUV all the responses were very unremarkable and low key. And even her segment was pretty tame. Since they obviously were shooting this footage with the mindset of playing up the stereotype they would have gotten much better footage in a predominantly black area. We would have seen plenty of cussing and threatening of employees lives lol. But if they had shot this story in Brooklyn, it would have been overly blatant on their part. They probably decided to use the area they did so they could still project the stereotype. But not so extremely that it was painfully obvious what they were doing. The media is excellent at portraying stereotypes about all people in a very subtle manner.

I don't even understand why anyone finds this stereotype funny, I mean it's Fried Chicken. I guess people are easily amused *shrug*

I've been to KFC once on a Friday night and they were out of chicken. Infact, they told me to go across the street to Popeyes!

On a funnier note, my family actually did cash in on this $4.99 deal. My mom had to wait over an hour for mode chicken to be made, but left with 3 boxes worth.

 

[MBrown]

Oh my gosh that video was funny. :laugh:

 

[zinfamous]

let me know when Popeyes ever gets good fried chicken, then I might care...

[WraithETC]

I went to KFC one day and the 10 or so people eating there were all Asian. I thought I was losing it for a second.

"...clucking their disapproval."

Dammit, news-writers, just stop it!

I went to a Burger King once, and they were out of Whoppers.








(The location had closed down, and was being opened elsewhere.)

Oh, and I've also seen a rubber band. I've even seen a peanut stand!

 

[Iron Woode]

some of the youtube responses are just unbelievable, esp Relics416's.

FWIW, I'm equally amused by white stereotypes.

Why so serious? It's funny man, just laugh.

Not sure what you're asking about exactly, I read over the page and can only guess you mean them showing people of color on a page about unemployment? Nothing bad here as one pic might just be one pic, and they're not playing up the stereotypes. There looks to be a mother and father in the picture and they're all smiling. Not even subtle angles here, if they were going for a stereotype they would either cut out the father, or have them not smiling and looking homely or showing the woman looking like she just got beat up. Showing all those things would be too blatant, but if they were going for subtle racism they would have incorporated at least one of the things I mentioned. Now if the site had a section with dozens of pictures and all were people of color it might actually mean something. Had the news storied showed a single black person at popeyes it might have just been a coincident, but they showed half a dozen, so it wasn't just by chance.
