Because every single person in the video that says something about chickens is black. And it's a very stupid stereotype.

Stop being assholes. Or don't be surprised when 2 or 3 black guys beat you because you are white. Yes, this happens. And seeing people like Arkantos, I understand them.

1. Black person eating only chickens is a stereotype.

2. Idiots use stereotypes.

3. They only showed black people that wanted chicken.

4. They are spreading black hatred and stupid stereotypes about Afroamericans.

From the article:

Quote:

What concerned me about the story was the stereotype of black people liking fried chicken. Everyone in our story was black. We interviewed a dozen people. Even though the suburban Penfield location also ran out of chicken, and even though a whole lot of white people also like fried chicken, I was worried some viewers would think we were doing the story because of the stereotype. I was worried we were reinforcing or making fun of the stereotype.

There were more people, they just chose black people. And they are aware of the stereotype they might be reinforcing.

Why am I even talking to intolerant ignorants?

MMSDome · Apr 29, 2009, 08:57 PM // 20:57

No they chose to interview one Popeyes restaurant over the other.

RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GO sake stop being so close-minded.

Are they the racists, or are you?

Throw the race card away, and what do you have? You have angry people complaining about a fast food place running out of chicken. Stop saying they're racist because they only showed black people. They showed black people, they didn't talk about black people, they didn't say anything about their race. Who is the person bringing race into this? You are. Who are the people interviewing angry people? The news. But hey, I'm just an intolerant ignorant, what do I know, right?

I'm racist because I'm pissed off at people showing only angry black people? Because even the people in the article said it might be seen as racist?

Open eyes, please. The video showed that every single person in Popeye's is black. It means that only black people go eat chickens. That's a stereotype.

Honestly, even though I'm not from America I know about this thing.

MMSDome, troll somewhere else. At least Arkantos is polite, you are not.

Would you complain if they only showed White people at the place?

Mr. G · Apr 30, 2009, 01:42 PM // 13:42

Am I the only person not to know this "Black + chicken" thing?

Really its new to me - or is it an american thing?

Etta · Apr 30, 2009, 01:46 PM // 13:46

Pretty much, I guess. A bit like you guys and sheeps.

MisterB · Apr 30, 2009, 04:20 PM // 16:20

I saw a bunch of overweight people complaining they couldn't stuff their faces with more junk food. I'm not sure what video you lot saw. I can't believe this was considered newsworthy by the station reporting. Well, I can, but it's pathetic.

@Theocrat: I laughed.

I'm not trying to say anyone is racist. I'm just saying that if anything, I do think you're acting more racist than the news. You were the one to bring race into this, not the news. You were the one to bring stereotypes into this, not the news.

I think you need to open your eyes. It seems that when you look at a person, you look at the color of their skin. Look past skin color, look past race. This video is not trying to show angry black people, it's trying to show angry people. That's the big thing you seem to be missing.

So please, before you call others racist because they chose to show angry black people, don't forget that you are the one bringing race into this.

Is that maybe because there were only black people there,or mostly black people?What if they went to the other store and there were only white people?Or did the news search for black people for hours in front of Poopeys and then write apologies for it?

Common sense,so rare it is super power!
