Like with us Yids. Bagels, lox, chicken soup - all relate to a stereotype.
HOWEVER what numbnuts thought that a message on a fried chicken box would make the slightest difference just shows that whoever did it hadn't got an effin' clue.
a) No one said blacks liked fried chicken (in the message).
b) But if they do (in that "culture") what the **** is wrong in saying so? If someone suggested Indians liked spicy food and curry, would that be racist too?
c) Thick, uninformed kidz of that age wouldn't pick up that message from newspapers or radio and TV news. It's an easy way to reach the morons.
