What are you opinions about this controversial meme?
I honestly want to know what people think about it. Is it funny, is it true, is it ignorant?

Well I'm torn about it. After all, this is simply a joke, not really an attack.
To say white girls like pumpkin spice lattes and black people like fried chicken is like saying Italians like spaghetti and meatballs.
I don't really see the insult, because every group has its stereotypes. I'm not a woman who likes to do my make-up and hair and go shopping, yet I laugh at those stereotypical jokes. It is the same with guys liking football and beer! Some men can't stand either of those things, but they accept the joke for what it is.

Many people, like the posters above, do see the humor in these silly stereotypes and have the good sense not to take these stereotypes seriously. I'm a blonde who laughs at blond jokes, for instance. It's the few who do take stereotypes seriously, especially the ugly bad stereotypes , who create the problems. And for some minority people those problems have included some very violent, even deadly behaviors. That is the reason some people seem overly sensitive about these mostly harmless stereotypes.

I guess if there had been a history of oppressing and marginalizing white girls, keeping them segregated from mainstream society; that might be comparable. Since there [i]isn't[/i] and a stereotype about them liking a particular type of latte isn't even universal, it's just another way of trivializing actual racism where people's lives have been changed.

@NineLives: I found it interesting.

I can't tell because I've never heard someone say that in real life (just from trolls looking for attention online) but personally I don't think either are funny, but I also don't feel offended about them. Everybody likes fried chicken, black people included. Same with pumpkin spice. If not in Starbucks coffee then perhaps in other snacks like caramel popcorn (like me, and you should definitely try it).

oh not all girls like spiced pumpkin everything... oh my god you should hear the protests! (they and i get that joke.. but....)
but.. i hear "blacks" going... "you knocking me for loving good food, that being chicken a'la fried? what? you some kind of racist?"
i guess it's regional.
