    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

          I know I’m into this meme way too deep here, but I think content like this is just rather divisive in a very subtle but damaging way. The comment I actually replied to goes to that next actual step saying the joke is truthful. Not the end of the world but I don’t think calling it out is inappropriate.

            You’d last 5 seconds at a black standup comedy show. Too much flavour.

      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.

      I have been to both, and the stereotypes are wrong. Cooking skill is not inherent to race or culture, it’s within the individual at the stove.
