I wonder what the "special menu" is? Don't they know that to serve ethnic foods is to invite stereotyping of people?
I should know because not long ago a local grocery store made the mistake of having some kind of sale in honor of (Black History Month, MLK Day, take your pick) and offered fried chicken as part of the sale.
Geez, you would've thought the KKK was on the march after the local libs and the press got done excoriating them over it.
BWAHAHA... I'd a just got me some extra fried chicken...
Don't know if you're north or south o' the Mason-Dixon but maybe things are different down here in Virginia-- one recent MLK Day, a bud of mine was pleased as pie to find that the cafeteria workers (most of whom are black) prepared, unannounced, a sumptuous spread of chicken, biscuits, cornbread, grits, collard greens, and lots o' other traditional Suthrun fare.
I resemble the assumption that fried chicken, grits and collard greens are a racial thing. All God's children like 'em. Especially when they're on sale.
