They probably could have gotten away with chicken and waffles.  Every non-vegetarian likes that.  The watermelon was the nail in the coffin.

Every person I've ever met, vegetarian or not, likes watermelon as well.  But you've got to be a grade A asshole to think it's appropriate for Black History Month.  It's tone deaf at best, racist at worst.  The reality is probably both, but either one is a bad look for a school.

Sad. As you state, just about everyone likes watermelon. The fact that it, as well as fried chicken, are considered racist just means that the culture that it insults is double insulted by having to avoid these foods during celebration time in order to look 'above' these stereotypes. It's like the whole 'Cultural Appropriation' media soap opera. I don't believe in it. Black people didn't 'invent' braids, anymore than Jewish people invented bagels. I think we need a serious attitude adjustment across the world. A simple one, really. Just replace the word 'appropriation' with 'appreciation', and we can all enjoy tacos, Irish stew, wear kilts or saris, fix our hair the way we want and name our children whatever name sounds pleasing. I don't think evolution lies in racial segregation. The whole idea of a 'World Wide Web' was meant to bring the world closer together, share each other's cultures. I guess my hope for an eventual world view is one of more sharing/blending and less of divide/conquer.,

Some Farker needs to create a meme showing some white dude culturally-appropriating as many cultural icons from as many minority groups as possible at the same time. Sort of like the picture of the little black kid wearing gold chain, eating watermelon, and flashing a roll of money, except spread across as many groups as possible. Let it be comprehensive. Make it ridiculous. Make some of the items subtle and hard-to-identify.

Then we need a contest for Farkers to identify as many of those icons as possible.

I live in a community that is probably 80% white, 14% Hispanic, 3% black and 3% other. They have chicken and waffles at my son's high school at least every other week. We are in the South and everywhere you go there is fried chicken. We also consume huge amounts of watermelon and do you know how hard it is to get kids to eat fruits and vegetables? I agree there may be some idiot out there that did it on purpose, but I think it is far more likely it was just the normal menu. My son's school seems to rotate the same 8-12 entrees constantly.

No. It's deeply associated with soul food - it would have been called out.

(Interestingly, the origin of chicken and waffles probably goes back to the Pennsylvania Dutch living outside of Philadelphia around 1800.)

"The vendor has agreed to plan future menu offerings to align with our values and our longstanding commitment to diversity and inclusion," the letter said. "We are extremely disappointed by this regrettable situation and apologize to the entire Nyack community for the cultural insensitivity displayed by our food service provider."

Riiiiiiiiight, in this day and age these little  "happenings" aren't accidental. I bet you a million bucks somebody there made the conscious decision to pull that troll and they're laughing their racist asses off.

Heh. I figured this story would show up here. Nyack is actually a pretty progressive district. They had diversity programs before they were cool mandatory. Staff are horrified about this.

If you want to avoid these incidents appoint a committee in the school system whose job it is to bless the coming week's menu. Instead of attempting to train fresh cohorts of food service workers all the time, put the burden on those whose sensitivities are in danger of being offended.

Fark the racists, and fark the outraged.

You know what I grew up with. Having them as a service? (Yes, I know full well it's what the district wanted to buy).

Breaded "chicken"
"Pizza" Square
50% Ham, 50% tendon sandwich
Deep fried leather, or Pork Fritter
Kwik Trip burger (before kwik trip started doing it. Imagine grade D meat.)

Then for sides.

Peaches in syrup
Trippled boiled green beans
Re-re-re-re-fried beans
Bread
Ketchup, mustard, and mayo packets

We used to have a salad bar, but some prick started the rumor he put his wee-wee in the ranch dressing.

I would have stabbed someone in the neck for fried chicken, waffles  and watermelon.

My understanding is that the bagel as we know it today was invented by Jewish immigrants in the Lower East Side in the late 1800s.

European style bagels weren't doughy and were more like bread.

Chicken and waffles are delicious. Maybe it's because I'm lily Irish white that I don't understand, but I'd think if I was black and you served me chicken n waffles, watermelon, grape soda, and a side of corn bread, I don't care if it was Malcom X's birthday, I'd eat the hell out of that.
I mean places serve corn beef and cabbage on St Paddy's day. The only insult I feel is if they did a shiatty job making it.
Again, I'm not black, but even if you are the biggest racist asshole in the world, I'm going to have a hard time being offended if you choose to express it by giving me delicious foods.

Hi. I do not like watermelon. I can eat it, but strongly prefer not to. I don't like the taste. Artificial watermelon is kinda okay, but fresh watermelon just has no appeal to me, flavor wise. (They are pretty and seem fun to grow.)

Just replace the word 'appropriation' with 'appreciation', and we can all enjoy tacos, Irish stew, wear kilts or saris, fix our hair the way we want and name our children whatever name sounds pleasing. I don't think evolution lies in racial segregation. The whole idea of a 'World Wide Web' was meant to bring the world closer together, share each other's cultures. I guess my hope for an eventual world view is one of more sharing/blending and less of divide/conquer.,

Dude. If you're gonna troll, you gotta do it so that when we Google your ish, it isn't so blatantly wrong that you can be put on blast in picture form.


It depends on the type of braid you're talking about. Plenty of cultures independently developed braid styles. Now I want a bagel.

bittermang: Some day we will live in a world where an establishment has the courage to serve fried chicken with a side of watermelon all year round.

Not because it is racist. Because it's delicious.



If they have a history of serving this combination it _could_ have been a mistake.

If this is the first time (or nearly the only time) then something is afoot at the circle KKK
