Because if we don't separate everything by race, how can we hate each other effectively? We must attempt to make people feel bad or excluded for our differences!
President’s Day
I maintain that Mac and Cheese is one of those foods that weirdly gets better the worse and more fake it is.
Ive had some gourmet shit and I always think "I miss the old Kraft one with the tinned cheese."
Bottom one is Wilford Brimley and Dr. Robotnix's son.
Good meme! (I have no clue what any of it means other than the dates)
Juneteenth celebrates the abolishment of slavery, I'd say people of colour are the most happy about that, and people of colour are stereotypically famous for making good food
4th of July celebrates the US independence, which though not a predominantly a white holiday more white people (on account of being a racial majority) will celebrate it, and white people are stereotypically famous for making bland food
This seems pretty dumb... I don't typically attribute amazing Mac and cheese to minorities.
Like... Most other foods, sure. But this one? Come now...
The meme is specifically referring to the quality of food at black cookouts versus white cookouts. If you've been to both, you know.
Maybe the white people you hang out with are shitty cooks. It's amazing how folks will continue stereotypes that don't even make sense.
I'm sure there's plenty of people of colour who suck at cooking. Those are just stereotypes used for an Internet joke
Naw. Mfers up at the break of dawn to start the fire don't care about that. That's just some eagerness to support racial stereotypes. All kinds of folks can throw down. If you've been to any of them, you know.
and people of colour are stereotypically famous for making good food
Can't say I'm familiar with that stereotype as it relates to black Americans. Immigrant minorities, sure.
The stereotype of white people making bland food is pretty common in the black community. And adding raisins to potato salad.
I have never heard of raisins in a potato salad and that sounds terrible.
Mac and cheese casserole is almost always inferior to the cheese sauce variety. The best versions meet in the middle, but I absolutely hate that eggy cheese quiche shit.
4th of July is only better for me because I don't get Juneteenth off even though I work in a school. Fucked it is!
This year was the first year I worked in an office that didn't recognize Juneteenth. Someone still found a way to complain about people expecting Juneteenth off work and blamed Zoomers for it becoming the norm like it's a bad thing
Gosh dang zoomers expecting nationally recognized holidays off, like this is the 20th century or something. Next they're going to expect clean water, and acceptable working conditions.
Same, I don't understand how schools can weasel their way out of federal holidays so easily lol.
Why are we comparing two unrelated holidays like this
You realize that you're talking about southern food right? As in not exclusively black?
This. OP probably has an antifa flag and speaks on behalf of Black America.
And he's anglo as anglo can be.
All you're doing is comparing southern style mac n cheese vs basic everyday fast mac n cheese. It's not even a race thing...
I like flaming Hot Cheetos pasta
The Hague would like to know your location.
