when did fried chicken become code word for black

Since then...

[brownsfan]

I dislike the black urban culture. If that makes me racist, fine.

.when did fried chicken become code word for black.

It's not, at least not for any half informed person. It's actually called southern fried chicken and is as much a white dish as a black dish. All real southerners like fried chicken.

Now, if Garcia had said chitlins...

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Me too. Suddenly I’m craving fried chicken tacos!

[OpusatFR]

OMG. Fried Chicken. It’s not a Black thing.

Every culture including my own has fried chicken dinner as a work of culinary art.

This is just picking to be picking.

Genius!

Mygosh, the Hometown Buffet here often has kielbasi and seasoned cabbage for the Eastern Europeans, tacos and fillings for Mexicans, and fried chicken I guess for no one.

Bet if they stopped serving that fried chicken there would be some who would say it's insensitive to their diverse customer base.

That’s not fried chicken; it’s cremated. Looks more like grilling gone wrong, and I’d bet you five bucks it’s still raw at the bone.

Pollack.

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913 + 1828) doesn't even have the term "racist". It is of fairly recent vintage.

This is just picking to be picking.

Now, why on Earth would a guy named Jesse Washington ever want to do that?

[Fiji Hill]

I just had fried chicken for lunch. Why has it suddenly become racist?

[nickcarraway]

Let’s serve tacos at dinner with Garcia

Do they even know what tacos are in Spain? Tacos are not Spanish food.

“You’re a racist.” Common claim after some conservative makes a point you can’t logically disagree with.

[al baby]

Im not racist at all i hate everyone till they give me a reason to like admire and respect them

[Olog-hai]

They just changed their name to “Joe’s”.

[SeminoleCounty]

Umm....someone should tell this Gallagher dude that Spaniards aren’t much into tacos....and I doubt you find Spaniards upset when you say “eat some tapas”

Only ethnic groups with low values and morals get upset when they are tied to certain foods

Doubt Tiger gets miffed if told to “eat some pad Thai”
