Sure. I still believe that the stereotype ‘black people eat fried chicken’ is far stronger in America than here in the UK. As others have said, whatever association we do have is imported.
That said, someone has pointed out the use of the word ‘ethnics’ in all of this, which is shitty and racist;
And someone else has pointed out that this was sparked by the owner of a fried chicken shop where a kid got stabbed, trying to do something good,
which isn’t.
Good intention, poor idea, terribly executed, with the racism entering the chain sometime around the point the advertising executives got involved. Quelle surprise!
