Sloppier than usual for AP.

Racists are people who are obsessed with race, who mention the race of everybody in every story (except black crime perpetrators).

Do people from various cultures around the world prefer different foods or do they not?

“Fried Chicken” is not “racist”. It’s recognizing a cultural preference.

waaaa frickin’ waaaa

When blacks stop popularizing it via rap music and stop using it themselves, I’ll care. Until then, nope.

Huh, what do dogs have to do with it?

I happen to love fried chicken and tacos.

Jesse Washington must be a racist for claiming that people who say they aren't racist are racist.

What a racist.

[Revolting cat!]

You can’t say “fried chicken” any more? Noted. What about “watermelon”?

Why even write a story focused on race? Why it’s because those who criticize Obama also break the cardinal rule. They say it isn’t because of the color of his skin. “We’re not racist.”

The AP lays out the pattern so their readers will associate the two, criticism of Obama and racism. Can’t mention chicken and blacks, and can’t criticize a Black man’s polices unless it’s likewise, racist.

In my life I have met a few White racists. I have seen White racists on television. But I have never seen as many racists as when I look at today’s journalists, and the Democrat party membership.

I Happen to love fried chicken and Im white..when did fried chicken become code word for black

[Neoliberalnot]

Race is the political sledgehammer blacks use to get what they want without working for it. See affirm action, set asides, minority scholarships, and the rest of the endless number of truly racist programs for blacks only. I vomit on their unfounded and phony race-baiting.

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

[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.

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.

AP dope addicted bisexual democrap JournoLists need to join the human race before they can make an inside assessment.

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