Fried Chicken

The Atlantic Wire - The biggest feud in golf right now got unexpectedly racist after Sergio Garcia said he would serve fried chicken to Tiger Woods during the upcoming U.S. Open. When Garcia was participating in a Q&A at the PGA’s European Tour awards show, he was asked if he would have Woods over for dinner during the U.S. Open. "We will have him round every night," Garcia said. "We will serve fried chicken."

According to the media, that was a racist remark - black people and fried chicken.

Garcia quickly apologized and said there was no racist intent in his comment. He stated, it was a silly question and he was merely giving a silly answer.

Again, I protest and am offended. What the heck is racist about fried chicken? I like fried chicken. Having been a Baptist all my life, I think it is a requirement to keep your membership in good standing. I have a large number of black friends and it has never come up that fried chicken is racist. If, fact we have shared friend chicken on many occasions.

If someone says anything about steak and taters, should I take that as racist remark?

Ron White is right again. "You can’t fix stupid."
