Need some purple drank to wash down this black people food. It's that black people kibble that comes in a bag; very dry.

2. calling it black food is still racist because there is no such thing you could call it southern food or southern American food but black food no such thing exists as blacks are not one group with a single food preference anymore then whites are

as for James Baldwin he's an idiot whos whole article is founded on a fucking straw man so why do you keep bringing him up

An argument against it being racist could be that calling it black food doesn't imply superiority or inferiority of any particular race at all.

Unless the context was something like "Black food is inferior."

Also it doesn't matter if every single black person likes a type of food or not.  Every single dish that we would call Chinese food probably isn't enjoyed by every single one of the millions of Chinese people in the world but it's just describing food that's associated with a specific culture.

Although I would accept the point that there are so many different black cultures and that is what would make calling a certain type of food "Black food." a bit odd.  But still even that isn't such a good point because there's lots of different chinese cultures.

1. I don't like the term Chinese food ether so why did you this up ?

2. And you could also just call it what I said above and avoid this whole conversation the fact the person choose that specific phrasing is more the a bit odd

Huh. Never heard of that one. But I have been called spoiled and an Oreo so often that a lot of stereotypes are just now being exposed to me in my college years. I've lead a highly sheltered existence and I don't actually know many other black people. (Which my extended family finds funny)

What you stated was to call it Southern American food or southern food.

But you might call it southern American food while there's someone in south America who doesn't like that food and run into the same problems you're against relating to the term "Chinese food." Same goes for southern food. Not every person from South America or the south eats that food.

But there is no racial, ethnic, connotations it's what people in certain region of north America white black whatever eat it's not tied to one group or one culture or weather all eat said food it's food that happens to originate from that region

Example Ontario pork is pork raised in Ontario it's not Black White Asian it's pork from a region see the difference

To be fair, I'm making pop culture references that were dated when I finished high school.

In that sense, yeh I do get your point.  But as far as racism goes I still see no implication of superiority or inferiority in associating specific foods with certain races or nationalities.

Unless it's obviously meant to insult, like saying all Koreans eat dogs, or Americans are fat.
