It’s almost a cliché. First, someone talking about blacks makes reference to fried chicken, watermelon, monkeys or dogs—or even uses the indefensible N-word. Then, along with the inevitable apology, comes the kicker: I’m not racist.
The latest denial is from golfer Sergio Garcia. Asked a joking question about having dinner with his adversary Tiger Woods, Garcia said: “We will serve fried chicken.” He later apologized for what he called a “silly remark,” then added, “but in no way was the comment meant in a racist manner.” …

AP dope addicted bisexual democrap JournoLists need to join the human race before they can make an inside assessment.
Now, why on Earth would a guy named Jesse Washington ever want to do that?
I just had fried chicken for lunch. Why has it suddenly become racist?
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.
Im not racist at all i hate everyone till they give me a reason to like admire and respect them
They just changed their name to “Joe’s”.
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”
