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
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.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
