The Fried Chicken stereotype
  • Chickens as key part in Southern diet, especcially for slaves: they were cheap to maintain but a good source of meat.
  • portrayal of a black person eating fried chicken in Birth of a Nation (a 1915 movie on founding the KKK)
  • fried chicken and watermelon: food you eat with your hands, "dirty", lack of tablemanners --> lack of respect
- Prof. Claire Smith for NPR's Codeswitch.

"Just a Joke" -  microagressions
"Even if someone truly harbors no racist intention, or even a racist mindset, that still does not excuse the comment. These are not crimes of intention, they are acts which do harm in and of themselves." - planamag.com

Microagressions...
  • are small and can be easily explained away
  • are cumulative
  • are perpetrated by many different people
  • Many people do not consciously know that they are perpetrating a microagression against someone.
