<p>^^^^It varies intenex, but tell me you’ve met a black person that said they didn’t like fried chicken. I know I haven’t.</p>
<p>No kool-aid and watermelon? </p>
<p>What an atrocity!</p>
<p>“Well, I definitely agree that the African Americans, in part, take a vested interested in seeking out discrimination against their ethnicity (I really don’t think culture is the right word here). However, I disagree that there is “not much to be upset over.” I also disagree that other ethnic groups would have an issue with it, mostly because it hasn’t happened with other ethnic groups. Like I said, “Mexican” and “Asian” food days would refer to geographic areas; “Cajun” and “French” food days refer directly to cultures, not to people. “African American” refers directly to a group of people. I realize it’s a fine line, but my problem with the whole issue is, why even walk it? Why would they do that?”<br>
@applicanmot - I’d see it as an error; I wouldn’t take offense to it. Mistakes happen. It’s a lunch menu’s terminology and holds no significance otherwise.
If they’re going to make an “Asian day” and serve rice, etc. (and they do at my school) then go right ahead. I won’t be put off. Frankly, I have better things to do with my time than to petition against imaginary threats to my heritage. :p</p>
