Thats great,lol.

Hmmm....

Of all the foods in the world, they had to pick the most racist one? This has to be intentional. I saw the headline and thought this would be another stupid racist prank like those Obama Bucks with the chicken, watermelon, Kool-Aid, and food stamps all in one joke. But I found a real product... in Germany? Wow.

For those of you (Louie) who haven't heard this stereotype before, I present a clip of Dave Chappelle discussing it:





Also, what does the Golden Gate Bridge have to do with Obama and/or chicken?

Now I'm hungry.

@ Rubang: Thanks for the video

But this surely wasn't intentional. I'm german and I've never heard of that stereotype (and most of my friends neither) so you can be pretty sure the company didn't. Especially considering that germany loves Obama and our society has rapidly changed after the second world war. There are 15 million people with an immigrant background living in germany and a total of 80 million inhabitants, the immigrant group getting bigger and the native population shrinking. Believe me it wasn't intentional.

Wow Obama sold out. That's like Joe Biden wonderbread.

I think outside of america its probably not a very well known stereotype (I didn't know it), I think ignorance may very well be what happened here. But if it was intentional then its a bit below the belt.

Correct. It's not a black stereo type, it's a african american slave heritage stereotype.

It would be like making a saurkraut eating remark to a non-german caucasian.

Err it wasn't my intention to tell you that we're superior to you which is definitely not true. But that stereotype really isn't that common in germany, that's all. The rest of my post was just to point out to you that the germans are in favour of Obama (which might be a good thing or not) and germany accepted that it is an immigration country (which means it is more open towards different cultures than 20 years ago). I know we're not better people than you guys. Germany is quite americanized actually Of course there are prejudices and stereotypes in germany, not less than in any other country, but the biggest groups of immigrants in germany are from Turkey and Russia so people rather stereotype them.

Sorry if I sounded like a jerk in that post

I like the American flag in the background too. This product has a few different levels of awkward.
