It's stereotypical, borderline racist. Black people eat fried chicken and melon, germans are all nazis, etc...

it's not borderline at all. it's pretty straightforward racism.

Really?

I still don't get the connection/reference.....

Well, fried chicken was a very popular dish in the Black community of the South of the USA during the segregation, so it probably got the connotation at that time.

There is no way that you actually think these two things are analogous, or can be compared in any way. Please tell me you don't think they are.

I had other examples that could've been more suited, but you would have given me a vacation I think.

Can anyone explain to me why Sergio Garcia saying he'd invite Tiger Woods to eat fried chicken considered offensive?

I think it's just polite.

I happen to like fried chicken...does that make me a racist? or a sympathizer of the black community?
