![]() QUOTE A German frozen food company hopes to raise sales with a new product: Obama fingers. The tender, fried chicken bits come with a tasty curry sauce. The company says it was unaware of the possible racist overtones of the product. Source: http://www.spiegel.de/international/zeitge...,612684,00.html |

QUOTE For Americans in Germany, though, there is a risk that the product might be seen as racially insensitive. Fried chicken has long been associated with African-Americans in the US -- naming strips of fried chicken after the first black president could cause some furrowing of brows. I'm normally attuned to things like this and I don't even think it's racist. Chicken fingers ≠ fried chicken. Chicken fingers = kiddie food. And it has curry sauce, I mean come on. They're obviously just capitalizing.Edit: Curry sauce on fries is so f*cking good. |
