It's not racist to ask about fried chicken, if you were already predisposed to talk about it.

A better way than asking would be to take in some fried chicken you thought was good, and getting opinions from that.

I love fried chicken. Almost as much as I love cold fried chicken.

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.

I would say that's foul, but you're obviously anti-fowl.

I can only imagine that this thread has avoided a lock and the OP has avoided a vacation because the mods are still locked in a 'WTF Stupor' over the sheer idiocy displayed by the OP's thought process that led to the birth of this thread.

That's all I have.

Oh man, if I ate KFC every day I would weigh in at about 400lbs. That being said, fried chicken every single day is almost worth it.

Just ask some of the white folks there or mexican folks there or whatever other races are there the same question. That way, you aren't singling out anybody.

That said, I love fried chicken, and I'm white.... so I don't understand the stereotype. I really really like fried chiken, a lot.

All Southerners, black or white tend to like chicken, fried okra, cornbread, watermelon, black eyed peas, grits, etc. It's all traditionally poor-people's food that is and still is extremely prevalent among the lesser well off.

Fried chicken is a bit of a step up from poor people food. It's definitely a southern thing and soul-food. It's a sort of luxury food and a popular one at the lower income levels.

The running joke that every ghetto has at least one fried chicken place nearby is a very true one (and it doesn't matter the color of skin living in that ghetto, but people always assume black).

It's a tasty food and usually offered at low cost esp next day cold fried chicken.

It's no different than $4 pizza places in a college town.
