Fried chicken on the face mask

This obviously plays in to the "black people like fried chicken" stereotype, and it angered a lot of people. The comments on the YouTube page of the commercial are littered with people criticizing Rice for participating in this ad.

"Jerry just set black people back 437 years," one user wrote. "Thanks, Jerry. We're slaves again."

That's one of the weirdest racial stereotypes of all. Only sense I've ever made of it is that when blacks moved up to Northern cities from the Delta, dumbass Yankees assumed that any kind of Southern or country food was black food.

I am not nearly the brightest bulb in the room, but how is fried chicken racist ? How does fried chicken make a person racist ? And, how does a person decide fried chicken and 437 years are somehow related ?

I think my bulb burned out years ago.

I'm a little confused about the 437 years part. Is there some slavery-related significance to 1580 of which I'm unaware?

I rarely get to eat the goodness of fried chicken. Healthy eating sucks sometimes.

No, because that would be racist.

I am sure if it was a white person in the commercial, the remarks would have been why they didn't choose a black person instead.

Yes, it would be unethical appropriation of black culture in that event.

Oh come on, that's part of his comedy schtick and it's funny. I've seen him out of character and he's all effeminate and giggly.
