No.

Serving a dish which is part of the post slavery white supremacist negative stereotype of black Americans used to reify the Jim Crow and segregationist regimes on the day set aside to mark the freeing of the last slaves would not be more or less racist weather black Americans enjoyed eating it or not.

Are people getting upset over nothing? I don’t know. Are some people not allowed to get upset? I don’t know.
