Sure, it's racist to say that any ethnic group in general likes/says/does something, but why would liking chicken be a BAD thing? Typically, people who make racist remarks intend to offend (Unless you're saying 'All Asians Are Smart' which is a compliment, but still racist), and black people were disliked in the olden days which is when they were associated with chicken for some reason. Why chicken? White people like chicken. Hell, I'm white and I LOVE chicken! Nandos is LIFE! But why is liking chicken seen as primitive (like other things racist people generalise)? You could say the same about any meat. It's not like they mean raw chicken, as if to imply black people are animals. They definitely mean cooked chicken, especially when it came to refer to KFC chicken in particular. Guess it goes to show how weird and ignorant racists were and are, huh? Blacks, whites and everyone else alike, go ahead and enjoy chicken without the ethnic quotas bothering you. RACIAL EQUALITY!!!!! Or something...
(Hope this didn't seem racist...I would say I have black friends but sadly there are barely any black people at my school and I don't do neighbourly friendship, Besides. I have no neighbours anyway. . I wish I DID have black friends, since seeing white people only wherever you go slightly worries me about whether civil rights laws are active in my town yet...)
