Slate Writer: Racism Could Explain White Turkey Meat Preference

When asked how I want my coffee, my usual description is “just black” — is that racist?

[jughandle]

“Breast meat is white...”
Sorry buddy, no racism. Just a normal, straight guy here.

If, as I suspect, the author is married to a JAP (Jewish American Princess) as the name suggests, the reason he thinks the following: “White meat turkey has no taste.” is simple.

JAPs make reservations for dinner except for the occasional holiday meal, and it seems probable his wife attempted to cook a turkey. Poor chap was likely given the “Greek God Special Plate” - a thick serving of burnt offering.

Then it’s clear, she should have had more dark chocolate

You racist white male hegemonist, what makes you think you have the privilege to order anything black? /s

You can't win if you play their game, if they want to demonize you they'll demonize you, regardless. Look at how Paul Ryan was treated over his having dated a black girl in college. It was racist of course, white male dominance, subjecting a black woman to sexual oppression.

So, order what you like and don't have a care in the world about it. If you're ever confronted about such a ridiculous thing, turn their own vagueness back on them. They're the race-obsessed ones, after all.

On this fowl thread, let's take a diversion to another chicken-related topic -- the Victorian influence in the names of chicken parts.

The Victorians were so prudish that not only could certain human body parts not be seen in public, they couldn't even be talked about in polite society. And this prohibition was carried over to chicken parts. Ergo, a "leg" was far too crude, and was referred to as a "drumstick." A "thigh" was out of the question; hence "second joint." And God forbid that "breast" be mentioned -- it was simply "white meat."

These people are ALL imbeciles, yet they won. Hence, I despair.

Next, whites drinking white milk will probably mean whites are racist.

“What does that make me?”

That makes you in some SERIOUS need of some Watermelon, boy!

(as long as we are on a ridiculous streak here...)

:-)

I’d eat everything but the gobble if I could. What does that make me?

[Colorado Doug]

I’m as white and pale as they come and I like dark meat. What does that make me?

Racist.

I like my turkey plate well-integrated, but that’s only because I’m so broad minded.

If someone prefers broad-breasted turkeys over heirloom breeds is he a sexist and an ageist?

And they wouldn’t ask for a tail, it was a parson’s nose.
