Good to talk about it, because then how will anyone ever learn anything. I've learnt

something today

I knew the fried chicken stereotype existed, it's in 'The Wire', and it's mentioned a few times in 30 Rock. I understood it's slur of some form, but I've never actually known why

Now after reading wiki, I actually know. "In the United States, fried chicken has stereotypically been associated with African Americans. The reasons for this are various. Chicken dishes were popular among slaves before the Civil War, as chickens were generally the only animals slaves could raise on their own"

Sergio Garcia is a cock for using it, and he knows it
