Is Fried Chicken Racist?

2,651 476 May 22, 2013 at 05:50 AM in News (2) Los Angeles Times
Once again feathers are flying because someone (in this case a Spaniard) offered to serve fried chicken to a person of color. Now the offerer of the fried chicken is branded a racist.

Does eating fried chicken somehow diminish one's humanity? Is it somehow bad? If someone offered to serve me fried chicken I would be happy not angry because I love good fried chicken.

If a golfer of color had offered to make paella for Sergio, would that be equally racist? I think one can be an a-hole without being racist. Or if you are an a-hole to a person of color are you automatically racist?

Tiger, to his credit, has not joined this fray. Perhaps the media are the only people who care and fake offense?

"We will have (Tiger Woods) around every night. We will serve fried chicken." [telegraph.co.uk]


Fuzzy Zoeller said something similar in 1997 [latimes.com]


And any depiction of Obama eating fried chicken is racist according to some [dailymail.co.uk]

1. i meant the sambos in my area wasn't changed to jolly tiger.
2. you are just being difficult.

they are diluting the word "racist" so much now that it has lost its impact, which is not a good thing.
actually it is a good thing the word is being diluted and losing any supposed power it has had. people dwell on differences too much and having them highlighted doesn't seem to have helped one bit.
