Racial profiling in food ads?


How extreme is that!

Depends on how its fried. KFC makes me want to throw up if I eat it, but chicken fried from my wife I could eat all day long.

Most black people in the US like fried chicken. Most white people in the US like fried chicken.

Most people in the US like fried chicken.

Food is one of those things that really is a good ambassador for different cultures. Look at black/white in the US. You want to show a person something relative to the others historic culture it is easiest and less "threatening " through food.

Ever had pork neck bones? Holy mother that's some good stuff!

A lot of food enjoys regional crossover and is only considered white/black/etc food away from it's common home.

Most people everywhere like fried food and watermellon.

The only negative of watermellon is that it can get messy.

Both arent healthy foods though but its not a racial preference. If it was chicken feet, then we could say thats a chinese thing.

Or killing whales, we could say its a japanese thing. I dont see the black connection to chicken and watermelon.

I have never liked KFC but I have more refined tastes. I don't much like watermellon either.

That is hardly the point. They are trying to make a racist issue over what food people like. Give me a break.

Well the commercial was corny and really crappy.

They should start with that, leave the racial analysis for later.
