Most people say black people love chicken, is that our stero type? What do it mean to people? I thought everyone liked chicken not just black people?

I would say that it's just a racist stereotype, just like the one that all black people like watermelon. It mostly likely came about as the result of a racist person who noticed that majority of black people do like chicken and eh/she just made the assumption that it was true for all black people. It's no more accurate than saying a person who wears red lipstick and or red nail polish is a wh*re.

This is an extremely racist statement. All races enjoy chicken! I'm white and chicken is the meat that I prepare most often because of the easy and cost of chicken verses other meats. Blacks are identical with likes and dislikes, the same as any other race with foods. I don't like Liver, I'm sure there are blacks, asians, indians, ect.. that don't like liver also. A race does not indicate food preference. The location of where you are raise is indicitive of how you prepare your food, not your race.

I would think it is not true. I mean taste has nothing to do with color. I am white and like chicken. That does not mean that all people that are white like it. So yes I do think it is a stero type. And a silly one too. That is like saying that all white people like ice cream or something stupied like that. Everyone is different, and should not be put into groups because of small minded people.

Wings where easily tossed because it was too much work to pull all the feathers off. And ox tail, pigs feet, ears,necks, pork bones and even chitlins where not popular until someone showed some interest in it. It was trash and we learned to cook it good, now they want to charge for it. I love chicken and could eat it everyday. Chicken is least expensive than other cuts of meat, excluding the ones mentioned above.

I don't think it's true. I think a persons color has nothing to do with whether or not they like chicken. Some goes for any other kind of food.
