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
