    I knew I didn’t imagine that! Reminds me of when my ex-advisor in a grad program brought up fried chicken during a rant while arguing with a black student about something completely unrelated.

    It was… crazy. I have no idea why such a stupid ass stereotype seems to exist in so many people’s subconscious, just ready to expose them as an asshole.

        Fried chicken is as American as apple pie, for Christ’s sake! “African-Americans like an American staple!”, uh, yes?? How is that supposed to be a distinguishing mark amongst Americans, much less a bad one??

        Racists are not just ignorant and malicious bastards. They’re also deeply weird.

        Watermelon, too. Fucking weird that people think only black people are super into watermelon and fried chicken.

          It’s fucking weird that people think there is any type of food that you’re only into if you’re a certain skin color.

          I’m as white as can be. Soul food is fucking amazing.
