I don't get political correctness. So what if certain groups are linked to certain foods. It's like associating grits with southerners, or rice with Asians. One time at work this guy at Hong Kong was telling us that he had allergies, and he listed them, when he got to rice, everyone laughed thinking he was joking and he wasn't. Even the Mexicans said that would be like a Mexican being allergic to beans.
LMAO< these are called staples, however, I don't ever recall any of my black friends calling fried chicken a 'staple', when it boils down to it, diet comparisons, between blacks and whites would show a remarkable parallel. At the middle class level and below. GASP! whoda thunk!? Lets face it, fried chicken is a universal food, is there really any thing that is a staple food, that is an 'ethnic' food unique to "African Americans"? OK 'I'll say it, again, blacks, black people, Negroes, Negroids, whatever?. Rice IS associated with an Asian diet, as beans are with an Hispanic diet, Europeans are quite widely varied as to what is considered a 'staple', but bread and potatoes works. Funny, how we see ALL of these things in the average American diet. and THEN some. Funny indeed.......
Well I have to admit I love my fried chicken, although I only eat it probably 4-5 times per year, because I prefer baked foods-but why does fried chicken have to be linked to black people all the time. Plenty of people of all races eat fried chicken.
I am a black woman who does not think this commercial is racist. If it were filmed in the US and there were a bunch of rowdy thugs playing rap who calmed down after being given a bucket of chicken, it would be racist but this is a different concept and culture. I think people are being hypersensitive.
I am going to skip 6 pages of this thread and jump in late but THAT would be a funny commercial if done right.
They interview porn stars and talk about oral sex and other things I enjoy but shouldn't be allowed on public air here in Las Vegas and people want to worry about fried chicken commercials for crying out loud.
Obama is black and while he is giving the last president a run for his money in the worst president in the history of this country sweepstakes........ people are beyond this stuff.
I wonder if people in India would be offended by a chain of Sambo's Pancake Restaurants in their country.
I don't think they would.
Yes indeed, Sambo. Sambo was an Indian lad, and the chain was pulled because of the offense blacks took to the name. LMAO< yep, Sambo and the tigers, who he ran around the tree till they melted to butter. Uh huh, real racist stuff there. Da KLAN behind it!
"Oh for Pete's Sake" What else will we come up with. Give me a bucket of that Dang Fried Chicken, some taters, and some corn on the cob, and throw in the CHOCOLATE CAKE. After reading posts like this, Some booze will do do.
I am highly offended by feminine hygiene product ads....please remove them all
