It says it in the article..."In case you're not up on your racial stereotypes, the idea that black people can't get enough fried chicken goes back to Birth of a Nation, and it's largely considered offensive because, you know, Birth of a Nation."

But to be honest, most black people I know do like fried chicken and watermelon. But so do I and I am white. I think friend chicken and watermelon is more of a Southern thing.

I was gonna say, most PEOPLE I know like fried chicken and watermelon. Trying to navigate and balance stereotypes with real life can be tough sometimes.

I guess it just means you should not be like, "Obviously you like fried chicken because you are black!" But yeah, if you invite me to a party and don't make fried chicken solely because you don't want to offend someone, you are a cruel person.

I LOVE FRIED CHICKEN SO MUCHHHH!

I am a chicken junkie. Now I really want fried chicken. Christ.

[kaijinscendre]

Me too. :C Some boneless fried chicken strips. WHY DON'T I HAVE ANY CHICKEN???? Maybe we can do that for Sunday dinner. Mmm.

I think it's Southern/generic universal picnic food.

But goddammit, now I want watermelon in October, and it's all your fault, FS!

da

That doesn't help. Wtf is Birth of a Nation? The whole black people and kfc/watermelon has always baffled me. How come this is your stereotype america?

[riddian]

"Birth Of A Nation" is an extremely racist old film that depicts the Klu Klux Klan as heroes and shit. If you don't know who the KKK are... just take my word that they are the exact opposite of heroes.

It had some really groundbreaking and influential filmmaking techniques, too, which unfortunately probably helped perpetuate the stereotypes shown.

Fried chicken is a pretty Southern thing. And it is tasty. I had some for lunch, along with sweet iced tea.

Basically, Birth of a Nation, while a huge film, was also very pro-confederacy [for those that don't know the confederacy = pro-slavery side of the Civil War]. Which is *why* a stereotype from it is pretty offensive.
