Was this racist, yay nor nay?

[Stone Rain]

Not racist. It's like providing targeted internet advertising: if you search for phone reviews, you get ads for phones. If your people group buys chicken a lot, you get asked if you want chicken. I see nothing offensive here at all.

 

[MrPickins]

It's "Yea" not "Yay".

 

[grrl]

I think it's racist that you assume she's African American. She might just be African....or African Australian, or African European, or African Muslim....or....

That's right. Try calling a Jamaican an African American.

8 piece fried "Chicken"

 

[JulesMaximus]

Yes, it was racist.

 

[Imp]

Yep...

I was also racist when I asked a new coworker where she was from, South American, and then asked if she was Catholic, yep... I'm not kidding, do some googling and people get pissed nowadays if you ask them what their background/ethnicity is.

 

[waggy]

who cares. that's a good deal for fried chicken. hmmm fried chicken...

 

[vjg]

Crap. I just cooked a steak and now... I'm hungry for some chicken.

 

[ch33zw1z]

I was near the Chinese food counter at a grocery and an African American woman was getting Chinese food for her family, as she was turning around to leave the man at the counter stopped her and said "we have 8 piece fried chicken for $5.99, do you want any", she responded with "no thanks". I can't help be think he asked her because she was African American. So was this racist?

The only thing racist is people as retarded as you asking if every waking comment "is racist"

Please slit your throat.

Can you not call black people black in america? You have to call them "african american?"

You can call people anything you want. Some things might get you punched, but that's life. I refuse to use the term African American. Some like it, but black is widely accepted also.

 

[Smoblikat]

How do you know she was from Africa?

 

[Craig234]

Typical, someone asks a question and assholes use it as an excuse to post racist crap.

 

[Rakehellion]

an African American woman

I stopped reading there. Yes, you're racist.

I'm guessing that most people thought the post was satirical since it was so ridiculous and simply responded in kind.

I wouldn't call it ridiculous, and whether or not it was, it was not any justification to use it as an excuse to post racist crap.

Are you or have you ever been a member of the racist party?

 

[KlokWyze]

not liking fried chicken is racist

 

[KlokWyze]

:biggrin::awe:

rotisserie chicken?

There is no 'racist party', just parties that have some racists.

Did you have a point you were trying to make?

Nay, He was running a business and trying to make a sale based on possibly something he has seen either portrayed in media or through trends. If he had accused her of something like shoplifting, or badgered her or adjusted the way he had spoke to her versus other customers, than maybe.

Also one thing, Racism isn't prejudice, we all tend to size up people based on the way they look or dress. If it was desheveled white man(meaning he looks homeless) or looked like a meth addict than chances are we are going to judge them differently than someone with a business suit on.

:biggrin::awe:

LOL

That ain't right

No it wasn't racist and yes I do believe that stereotype does have some root of truth. Everyone likes chicken, but as black people we do consume more of the bird than most other races.
