Look... I really like grape soda, watermelon and fried chicken. I have at least one of these things at home. If my friends come over, I offer them stuff I'm about to cook, drink etc. I am Caucasian...
Fuck whoever made these things a stereotype! I had to explain myself more than enough to some of my friends.
It's not about the food, it's about the assumption.
If you have watermelon, friend chicken, and grape soda, and you offer it to people, you're not a racist.
If you assume a black person would prefer watermelon, fried chicken, and grape soda, because that's what black people like, that's a form of racism.
If you avoid offering watermelon to your black friend, you're being racist. Not because of the watermelon, but because when I said "your black friend" you thought of that one friend who is black that occupies the space in your memory as "your black friend." It was a clever trick to catch you being racist, you racist.
But seriously, good food is delicious, and you should enjoy what you like. Share what you like with people, and find out what they like. Don't make assumptions about anyone.
Exactly my point. I just offer my foods and drinks to my friends and some of my guys keep nagging me when I offer it. It's just so stupid..
