    Ok I'm going to get slammed for this but I don't think it's that bad?

    People say all the time there is a lot of Asians,Mexicans,Indians,etc.. (Is this not racist?)

    So should we be politcally correct and say Asian-American,Mexican-American,Indian-American..? Maybe Asian folks, Asian People, Mexican folks, Mexcian people, Indian folks, Indian people.

    Now obviously there is many choices here?

    Blacks , Africans, African-American, Black folks, Black people.

    It almost seems like a double standard?

    FYI I'm not white or of European descent :)

    Bruce Leroy? :rolleyes:

    Maybe because it's the only national seafood restaurant chain? People laugh at what they can relate to, no matter what race they are.

    I know I also count the number of African-Americans in any eatery I frequent.

    Same here. Never heard this correlation between the blacks and the red lobsters.

    I think it's a stereotype black people are trying to perpetuate to show they've moved on up to the East Side from friend chicken to lobster.

    only place i had heard it from previously was from black comedians. don't ask me to quote any of them, my memory's not that sharp.

    As for biscuits, Popeye's is much better than KFC, it's not even close.

    I am unaware of this stereotype as I find Red Lobster disgusting, so I never go there anyway.

    Seafood should be home-cooked (or, on special occasions, from an expensive restaurant).

    My Mom loves the lobster at Red Lobster. Any time she gets it somewhere else she always finds fault with how it came out one way or another. So, she always prefers to get it at Red Lobster. I'll have to go with the parental units the next time they go there. I'll report back on the races I encounter.

    I avoid Red Lobster because of the lobster, not the black people.

    racism will exist as long as people identify others by their ethnicity.

    i also find using politically correct terms tiresome. arent we all americans if everyone lives here?
