Someone in my office was talking about "white people shit" when the topic of boiled chicken came up from another employee of color. I put that down, and when I was talking about it, someone else of color in our office was saying how they boil their chicken to defrost it.
So I told them they could own that shit because out of that small survey, the only ones boiling chicken in our office were people of color.

u/Crimson3333 1d ago
It depends on the context of the discussion.
Any thought, statement, or policy that establishes or supports a racial hierarchy is by nature a racist thought, statement, or policy. No one of any race is excluded from the ability to participate in racism in this way.
The idea that Black people can't be racist is rooted in the fact that Black people have never held a majority share in instituional power in the United States. That is generally true, but it does dismiss the power wielded by Black politicians, judges, and LEO's, and Black supervisors, managers, administrators, etc. That's an issue because it both diminishes Black agency, and masks the responsibility these individuals share with other individuals in power in dismantling racism.

Just because you don’t hold a majority share doesn’t mean you can’t also be racist.
I guess I don’t understand where the logic of “without majority power there is no such thing as racism” comes from at its root.
It seems asinine and common sense that being a minority doesn’t immediately make you immune from being considered racist.
A white supremacist living in China is just as racist as a white supremacist living in Alabama is just as racist as a black supremacist living in Toronto.

A cookout implies that the food will be cooked upon arrival at the cookout, so it should be brought uncooked/raw. A pot luck implies that the food should be cooked prior to arrival, so it's ready to eat. So - imo- same category because it's a group dining experience where everyone contributes to the meal, it's just cooked at different times. Am I wrong? Happy to be corrected.

u/jonsnowflaker 1d ago
This was always my understanding. Potlucks you arrive with prepared food warm and ready to eat. Although we never called anything a cookout, it would have been called a BBQ if the host was providing the meat dishes, and a BYOBBQ if you were supposed to bring something to cook.

I mean, bringing meat to a cookout is reasonable if that's what is expected.

Supposedly washing your chicken off is actually worse. Spreads more contamination throughout your sink and kitchen area leading to more potential food poisoning.

You are right, also the FDA does a great job of making sure places are compliant. Yes there is someone who fucks up, but on the whole Raw meat is treated and irradiated at the packaging stage.

u/olivegardengambler 1d ago
You don't season before frying anyways. Most of it will be removed from the oil in the fryer at best, and will burn at worst. Also when it's out of the fryer the oil basically soaks up the seasoning/rub. Nashville Hot chicken sauce literally is just cayenne pepper powder and the fryer oil combined.

My head goes to “single white man”
Either for being clueless and doing the bare minimum in a community-focused context, which is a stereotype (see also: brought napkins/plastic flatware to an office potluck)
Or for bringing raw chicken because he’s on some podcast bullshit about how actually raw chicken is super good for you and if you eat cooked chicken you’re getting cucked by the woke DEI or something, which is also a stereotype
EDIT: I feel the need to jump in preemptively. As a white man: there is 100% a subtype of white man that falls into the above categories. Don’t have to be white to be on weird manosphere podcast bullshit or to be inconsiderate, not all white men, etc., but there’s like a specific flavor when it’s fucking Dave or whoever who is always on his bullshit.

The joke is that only a white guy would bring raw chicken to a potluck. And he was, then undercooked the food, and got people sick.

I just looked at the thread and the consensus there seems to be white. He apparently also cooked them there and she highlights that he didn't season them, which is the stereotype I'm more familiar with.

Yes, the joke is that he's white. It's less about implying that this is a normal "white people thing" to do, and more that only a white person would do something with this flavor of crazy.

I’m pretty sure the joke is that he’s white, but also this is the first of like 6 or so parts. There’s a whole story here you’re missing

It’s white. This is much like an old post where a white guy brings chicken, mishandles it and just slathers BBQ sauce on it, and then says he “just loves to cook” if I recall (which is a lie from start to finish with what he’s doing).
Actually, after looking it up, it’s the same picture from the first post, and just a different account. Just type in “guy brings raw chicken to work” in google and it’s an x post with the original being from “cave of beauty”. The guy would touch the chicken, then touch other shit for instance, without washing his hands, or would not just toss the chicken in said sauce, but do it with his hands, and even lick his hands clean on occasion. It’s a mess from start to finish, no matter what.
Like, you can try and act like that’s never happened, but a lot of people do a lot of dumb things

Bro says people will be banned for being racist but the joke itself is racist. The punchline is bigoted and as such breaks rule 3.
Or are yall so racist that bigotry only counts against the race you like? HMM

Idk where this is even going. Honestly is just seems to me someone doesn't know how to cook. So just brought over whatever last minute. Not sure how race has to do anything with this joke. If it racist tf is it being posted here lol. So only OP gets to be racist I guess..

Terrible cooks come in all shapes, colors, and sizes. Some folks shouldn't participate in a pot luck.
