The airport in my town is throwing a banquet for its mostly black house keeping crew. The menu is fried chicken and pork chops. Am I the only one who sees that as pretty fucking insulting and kind of racist?

Nope. Fried chicken and pork chops are common, easy, banquet foods because they're easy to cater and can feed so many people.

No, they didn't ask anyone. I found out from one of the housekeepers after I noticed the event scheduled and I'm supposed to help set up for the event. I wasn't sure either but it seemed to be that unintentional racism that happens all of the time. It just seems odd that there is nothing for any potential vegetarians to eat except the potato salad and cold slaw.

One of the problems with this country, is that so many people try and find racism, or think things are racist too often.

I love fried chicken and pork chops. Thier so lucky, I hope they have hotsauce also.

If they only serve grape soda, orange soda, and something called ghetto punch, then maybe it's racist.

I worked with a woman that was not only black, but also vegetarian.

Those wacky Californians.



And, no, i don't think the menu is racist. It was probably chosen by the crew.

Umm... If they served cornbred, watermelon, greens, fried chicken, ox tails and grits who the fuck cares, it sounds pretty tasty to me.

I hate looking for racism in places it isn't obvious. Did anyone check if the person picking the menu really like this kind of food? When I had a job involving picking food for events I picked what I liked. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Indian food, so did my rich, fat, white boss. We had a lot of Indian contractors working for us. Thank god they didn't get all shitty and up in my face about what I chose to serve, it had nothing to do with them for sure.

SO now is it being suggested that office managers and administrative assistants and party planners have to make things even MORE complicated for themselves and feel on eggshells because they now have to be sure no one "ethnic" will be offended by their menu choices? I think this is so fucking stupid. Like white people can't eat and enjoy "ethnic" foods? Putting people on eggshells is not cool, and if anything is very divisive. Who can treat someone as an EQUAL when they are too worried about stepping on their toes or offending them?

GOD, One time at band camp.....
I decided I was in the mood for some Soul Food. I was inspired around 3pm by a website to try my hand at it. I went to the store and bought greens and chicken and cornbread fixings and a beans and rice mix thing just for good measure. At 4:30 my roommate brought her black boyfriend and another black friend over. Suddenly someone else in the house who knew what I was planning on cooking whisperd to me I should change my dinner plans so I would not upset them. WTF?? Obviously I had NO clue they would be joining me for dinner and I only bought food for that day. So I made the dinner anyway, afterall I wanted it. Then while we ate, I got accused of being a racist for having cooked it by the white roommate girlfriend. What the HELL?? I was so fucking pissed. My black guests told me to use a ham hock instead of bacon in my greens and cook it longer and agreed it was a valiant first attempt but that their mom did it better. I think they seemed ok with my meal. Fucking oversensitive white people.
