I know of my black friends they all take the piss out of each other for eating fried chicken and gunga peas, so why do people take offence?
Why is it even news?
Any black guys on here that are offended by it?

Does being semi black count? (Am i even allowed to say that in this day and age  )
I personally dont have a problem with it and I doubt that side of my family would either, they'd just laugh tbh.

i have a guy in my team who is black, and he always eats rice and peas, so i asked him why he eats rice and pea, and he told me rice and pea was like fried chicken because its a "brothers food".

Mixed race is the correct terminolgy
What load of balls. It doesn't need to be in the news, this is the kind of thing that makes people over sensitive and automatically take offence when really people don't care.

The article explains it all. No-one complained til it reached America via the internet. So it's not even being shown there and it's causing them to complain  I fucking HATE Americans.

English eat fried breakfasts, the Irish eat potatoes the Scottish deep fried mars bars.
Should that be in the news? It's absolute nonsense.

The funny thing is, it's the "minority" that deem it racist. But it seems that a white caucasian is now the minority, yet nothing said about us is racist.

That advert has nothing to do with them being black. The product is called a 'Crowd Pleaser', the man gave it to a crowd which pleased them. People read into things far too much, you could make it racist if you wanted to, but in reality it's just an advert.

It is definitely stereotyping:

its like anything really, once it gets 1 compliant and hits the media it will get 10,000 even from people that havnt seen it, like the jonathan ross/russell brand saga, its just people jumping on the bandwagon.
