And how about the prejudice of American commentators who fail to understand that while there are real similarities, Australia's culture is not identical to that of the United States, and we don't have the same racial issues in our history (we have our own). In Australia, there is no cultural stereotype that black people eat fried chicken - and West Indians are not African-Americans either. We've got Americans applying their beliefs about race to Australians and West Indians... what do you call that?

RACISM!

Do I get a cookie now?

[notaliberal]

Do they or don’t they eat fried chicken? Honestly, some people will find anything to scream racist! Nobody has a problem when a white guy is made to look dumb in a commercial. It happens all the time. The wife and the kids are always smarter than the “stupid dad.”

I’ve heard this crap before. What possible racial insult can it be if African Americans eat fried chicken???

Is there some moral or intellectual inferiority associated with enjoying fried chicken? I love fried chicken.

Do Italians like lasagna? Do Germans drink beer? What possible harm is there in associating a group with a food?

So far as I know African Americans enjoy a lot of sweet potato pie as well. As do I. Did I just insult them?

At least it wasn’t watermelon :>)

My husband was talking with a couple of black neighbors. The black men got to ooing and awing over fried chicken and watermelon. My husband told them, “That’s racist!” They all got a good chuckle.

OK... ever heard of the “BOY that Cried WOLF” .. well we just met the ASS**** that Cried RACIST..

NOW, Gimmee some of that CHICKEN... any COLESLAW left??

If that is ..RACIST..guess what.. The PROBLEM IS YOURS.. not mine.

[hsalaw]

I don’t understand this. What’s racist about chicken?

[killjoy]

The ad has been seen by some in the US as a reference to racial stereotype that African Americans eat fried chicken.

Um... They do. So do a lot of non-hyphenated Americans.

[Chgogal]

Oh, the HuffingtonPuffington Post had to comment, well then, let them eat snails next time around and call it french fried escargot. Will that make the uber-accedemic elitists feel better? Honestly, the loony left is becoming more ridiculous by the second. Ignore the oversensitive moronic left wing common sense challenged imbeciles. The ad is fine.

The description states "How do you survive a crowd of "awkward" black people?

There is no such description. The guy stuck in the crowd says, "Need a tip when you're stuck in an awkward situation?" There is nothing about "awkward black people."

More of the usual desperation to find racism where there is none.

I have Italian blood in me. And no I wont be offended if you think I work in the garbage disposal business, eat lasagna everyday and have a funny moustache.

**We’ve got Americans applying their beliefs about race to Australians and West Indians... what do you call that?**

We call them Liberals.. and unfortunately, in the USA, they’re LEGAL.

[Smokin' Joe]

Damnation! The cry of racism is racist! Don't these people think white folks like fried chicken, too?

And here, the guy was nice enough to share, and all that...

[gwilhelm56]

Racist Bastard Commentators... Talk about KFC as if it’s racist.. It’s not RACIST ... It Are FOOD.. and damn you all to HELL as the nearest KFC is 30 miles away, and I ‘m in the Middle of a damn SNOWSTORM!!!!

[chemicalman]

Dammit...I’m racist. I had fried chicken for dinner last night.

[Lauren BaRecall]

I’m still trying to figure out why all of a sudden the PC crowd refers to people in India as “Asians.”

[A message]

I’m glad I saw this article. I always knew KFC uses their food to demean and ridicule people. Now these wise and knowledgeable American commentators have brought truth to light. I mean what is up with original or extra crispy? Those are definitely racist code words. And mashed potatoes and cole slaw, don’t get me started. I mean you can substitute one of the side dishes for .. for.. for... corn-on-the-cob. Now that is racist.

[Allegra]

Oh, for crying out PC-BS-whiny-meddling-limp-wristed-liberals loud.

[TChad]

Forget KFC, a local black guy makes the best fried chicken I have ever had. It is absolutely wonderful, though my arteries probably don't share that opinion.

Great, now I'm hungry.
