Exactly. Racist New Englanders, New Yorkers, Chicagoans, etc. think Southern foods are “black” foods.

Every kid growing up in Georgia lives on homemade fried chicken, corn bread, grits, collard greens, green beans, mac & cheese, watermelon, sweet peas, black eyed peas, kool-aid, iced tea, corn on the cob, pecan pie, and pork chops.

There happen to be a lot of black people in the south, so when I moved out of the south I learned those were “black” foods.

I have a funny anecdote to that. My aunt married a New Yorker and has lived in Brooklyn most of her adult life. She is one of the best Southern cooks you've ever seen. They have friends from miles around, Haitians, Dominican, Puerto Rican, Indian..that literally beat down her door when she gets to cooking to gobble down that racist fare and then keep begging for seconds! When she throws a block party they have to shut down the street.

Throw some okra on the table, if you please.
