Comment on Why not serve fried chicken on Juneteenth? How is it different from serving corned beef on St. Patrick’s day?

You’re asking the difference between culture and race. Irish isn’t a race. Therefore it’s not racist to say Irish people eat corned beef.

Fried chicken however is not culturally eaten by black people and that doesn’t even begin to touch on the nuances of slavery that are involved in the origins of soul food.

Long story short you can’t apply stereotypes to races. That is by definition racist.
