This entire thing is so stupid it boggles my mind that someone got paid to write that article... we are doomed.

And they lied in it, of course nut jobs pay for that, it supports their asinine thinking.

what if it's actually fried in the north. they don't fry it down south and fly up there. i think we all know how to fry chicken, it's the batter that matters

You can think whatever you want.

I plan on it.

So racist, they should stop selling this summertime patch:

Once, I went into a restaurant that was full of all this Chinese stuff. The decor, the writing on the menu, all the food... they even had actual Chinese people working there!

It isn't. My problem is with the name of the product. It sounds close to a racial slur even if that wasn't the intent.

Yes, trying to say the word "picnic" with a racist version of an Italian accent is a horrible thing to do.

The Italian Americans will probably start a riot in protest.

Your problem is you are just looking for an excuse to niggle.

I have never understood why black people liking fried chicken and/or watermelon is a negative thing.

Because people want to be treated as individuals and not stereotypes.
Not all black people like fried chicken and or watermelon and assuming that an individual does is disrespectful because you're making assumptions based on his skin color and not him.

You might think it's a harmless stereotype but people who live with alot of negative stereotypes might be adverse to any.

I agree that it is a stereotype; I disagree that it's negative.

But my intent was actually in regard to not understanding where racists came up with the stereotype in the first place and decided to use it with the intent of being negative.

What I'm saying is that racism doesn't make sense to me. I guess I'm just not that ignorant.
