See I took the option of playing dumb.  Now you've gone and put a point on it.  I thought that pretending not to understand and referencing fiction would get the point across without having to be blunt.  But okay!

You can always get what you want if you never count the cost.

Stereotypes aren't always bad.  This one is like Kaz says, just an observation.

well, all stereotyping comes from somewhere, some of it being observational trends in habits, mannerism, jobs, likes, dislikes, etc.

In all honesty, this stereotype is of a less-than-anger inducing variety as far as i'm aware. Afterall, you see it shown/paraodied/etc. on TV, movies, and just generally in our culture, so it's not like i really considered the comment offensive, but the origin of it is still the same :)

heh, I have a friend (who is white) who always challenges anyone who mentions this to show him an african-american person who likes fried chicken (or just plain chicken) more than he does. He could eat 3 meals a day of nothing but chicken. In fact, he almost does. He works at a local buffalo wild wings, and he always eats chicken for lunch when he's there, snacks on left over/extra chicken while at work, and usually gets some to bring home at night to eat. If he only ate chicken for breakfast, he would almost have chicken of some sort at every meal/snack :P

personally, i will eat meat (chicken, beef, pork, fish, or anything else i have/havent tried yet) in just about any of its incarnations :P

If i could eat a steak everyday for every meal, and, in addition to having malnutrition, i would be happy. :D

I'm pretty sure that, technically, fish isn't meat…just sayin'.…

I've never understood people who claim this. Why?
Quote
meat
–noun
1.   the flesh of animals as used for food.

The animalia kingdom contains the chordata phylum which is where most-to-all fish reside in, meaning that fish would be considered an "Animal".


Fish isn't a *RED* meat, for sure, but that's not the point, it's still a meat.

It's a Catholic and pescetarian thing.

if we're talking about because of the whole lent thing, during lent you aren't supposed to eat UNGULATE meat. Ungulate being basically anything that has hooves, but that doesnt mean that fish, or bird, or anything else isnt meat, just because they arent hooved
