*update* is it offensive if I single out the black guy @ work...

[squirrel dog]

I think it would be harder to find someone who does not like fried chicken.It slams.

 

[SlitheryDee]

Why single him out though? Do you really think the black guy has some secret inside fried chicken information? I think that assumption alone probably is racist.

 

[qliveur]

Just sing "I'll bust the windows outcha car" in front of him and see if he joins in.

What makes applying stereotype racist?
Assuming a demographic prefers one type of food over another is not racist, it is purely statistics based on culture.

 

[M0oG0oGaiPan]

Ask everyone else but him. It's called reverse racism.

Well, I suppose a stereotype isn't necessarily racist. I'm applying the ultra PC version of "racist" here, where making any assumptions about anyone based on their race is racist. It's hard to get that version out of my system.

i was in the soda aisle at a grocery store last week with my kids. there were two black men making fun of the whole grape drank thing, it was funny to hear them making the same jokes most everyone else makes. they got even more hilarious when they saw the watermelon soda. they left with a 2 liter of each hehe.

I'm hoping that black people are getting on board with the rest of the ethnic backgrounds and accepting their stereotypes. Jews laugh at cheap jokes, Polish people laugh at backwards jokes, Mexicans laugh at migrant jokes -- it's good to have another race to laugh at themselves.

If we can just get middle-Easterners do the same thing without getting a freakin' Jihad issued against someone every 5 minutes, the world would be a better place.

I like fried chicken but that doesn't mean I all of a sudden have hops.

 

[JS80]

HEY!

What do you mean YOU people?!?

woot, success!

 

[Atomic Playboy]

First off, why would you single him out for just his opinion? Is it solely because he is black? If so, that's kinda racist.

Second, since when is liking fried chicken a bad thing? I've never understood this racial stereotype. "Black people have good taste in food. Take that!" It's stupid. EVERYONE LOVES FRIED CHICKEN.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Ask him if he knows what 'frontin and maxin' means.

 

[Fayd]

question:

who doesn't like fried chicken and watermelons?

 

[Mxylplyx]

stereotype != racism

Liking fried chicken does not make someone inferior.

It does if they prefer KFC over Popeye's

You are an ignorant fool. There is no demographic preference, just racist imagery & entertainment. Do you have any of these "statistics on culture" on hand?

White people love mayo.

 

[Schfifty Five]

That...is...fucking WIN.

 

[highland145]

White people love mayo.

You actually went there? Seriously?

 

[American Gunner]

Remember to greet him with "Hey black guy" right before you ask.

This is the best way to start the conversation.

 

[Schfifty Five]

White people love miracle whip.

FTFY

 

[American Gunner]

White people love mayo.

Mayo is disgusting.

 

[Inspector Jihad]

I just had a terribly unripe near-white watermelon last week. It sucked.

Watermelons are godly when they're super sweet. Otherwise they suck.

thats like saying vaginas are awesome but they suck when they have sores on them.

Wow, congrats. You quoted a single pansy liberal website that is poorly written and has no sources cited.

I don't need statistics to know black people like fried chicken.
Just like I don't need statistics to tell me that Mexicans like tacos.
It's part of their culture.

Do they like fried chicken MORE than caucasians based on percentage of their total population? I don't know.
The point is, most black people like fried chicken and it's not racist to say so.

fried chicken tastes so much better with hot sauce

I don't particularly despise it, but I don't like fried chicken or any other chicken for that matter. It's easily been a decade since I've eaten any. To really blow your mind, I don't eat turkey either.
