Normally racism earns a 5, but this is just dumb. if it was watermelon and Fried chicken, you'd get a five to the max. This is a stretch and worthy of this one.

racism |?r??siz?m| noun the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, esp. so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.
February 9th, 2006
(0)
if you fail to see the racism, realize that the products advertised are stereotypically associated with black people. Since the ad characterizes these items to the black race, it is racism.

What, those n****rs like their corn muffins.
February 9th, 2006

Reinhart, it IS racism because they specifically label the items as [black items], saying that that they are characteristic to the race. Associating specific characteristics (stereotypes) to all people of a specific race IS racism.

Black History month is already racist.

How are corn muffins and porkchops racist? Fried chicken is the only real "racist" food out there that goes with black people. What, is it because those things come from a farm? Everything you eat comes from a farm you stupid f*cking idiots.

So if certain foods become part of an ethnicities history by way of geography or economics, associating those foods with that ethnicity is racist? I think not.

Hey f*ckmuffin's, cornbread and pork ribs are a typical southern BLACK dish. It's not the creators fault that you are a northern douchbag who only sees your own local stereotypes od fried chicken. 5'd

TehPeak, yes. It would be racism. Many people here seem have to have the misconception that racism only has a negative form. As aforementioned, racism is simply associating characteristics to all members of a race whether they are offensive or have a legi

"Barbeque was developed in the poverty of the South prior to the Civil War and became part of black culture there. This is not racist, and you FAIL." QTF. Not racist at all. This YTMND fails to deliver. Giant owns.

Unfortunately, the true definition of racism is widely misunderstood due to the extensive misuse of the word, and is typically incorrectly taken as meaning derogatory or insolent in all cases.
February 9th, 2006

Culturally and stereotypically it is generally understood that items such as "pork ribs" and "cornbread" are African American food items. Since Giant is associating those characteristics to the black race, racism exists.

"It's not the creators fault that you are a northern douchbag who only sees your own local stereotypes." Yes it is. He's responsible to make a ytmnd funny to all. If it isn't funny whatsoever to us, we have every right to 1 it.
