A bite of racism ( Food and race) part 2 Please correct me. thanx
Now, let’s Specifically talk about Stereotypes over African-American and soul food. Not just the way African-Americans used to make the food was being influenced by these thoughts, but what they cooked has being affected as well. Most of the people were made to think that African-American’s soul food includes things such as fried chicken,and creamy cakes in huge amount. Among them Fried chicken was a very significant food that followed black people into today’s time. The picture you observe is advertising an electric appliance ran by General electrics in order to cook chicken “without specialized training.” Which literally were supposed to refer fried chicken as an African-American food and also showed African-Americans’ style of cooking so plain. It shows how white-dominated manufacturers were using the people’s color and typical food they served as a way to sell a product.
According to a study by Sydney Addison, Kailey Bryan, and Taylor Carter about African American and southern food showed how these stereotypes carried on into many generations. In their studies they mentioned that: Much of what started these stereotypes came from the story of the waiter carriers from Psyche Williams-Forson’s book named “Building Houses out of Chicken Legs.” Black women would stand alongside trains in order to sell chicken to make a little money. This was when there was no air conditioning in the trains, therefore leaving a reason for the passengers to leave their windows down. But also, in Psyche’s book she reminds us of another story that brought about the fried chicken attachment to African Americans. Whenever black people went on trips, it was customary for them to bring a boxed lunch, seeing as they would not be served very appealing food on the train, if they were offered that option at all. This classic association of African American people to chicken carried on into many generations.

A bite of racism ( Food and race) part 1 Please correct me. thanx
Good afternoon everyone, I guess you have all had lunch by now excluding Mary. she has class in a raw all day long. Let me ask you what you had for lunch? What made us clarify some food as Korean, or some others as western food? Is this because of the ingredients used to make a special kind of food? Or there are some other stories behind?? Well, when we are consuming food, we are not only eating the simple ingredients. but we are consuming the culture that the food represents. In this regard, Food can be a reflection of a period of time in history, and highly depends on the land’s capability to grow special grains. As a simple example, the main dish in Korea is rice, mostly because rice is cultivated abundantly there. Now Getting a bit deeper in the field of food, today I want to talk with you about food and race. What I call ‘’ a bite of racism’’. I want to show you that most of us are involved in racism, while eating.
Have any of you heard of the term ‘’Soul food’’? What do you think it refers to? Soul food has its roots in slavery when African-Americans had to cook with whatever food was available to them. They usually used cheap ingredients, and animal products with heavy percentage of protein such as offal meat. And most of the time they used simply to either roast or fry the meat in huge amount of oil. In this stage, we are all drowned into a very big mistake, which is racism in food. Even you were unconsciously relating soul food as African-American food while I was talking of history behind soul food. What I simply want to emphasize on is that history has no relation to lifestyle of a nation in the current time. In other words, we cannot claim soul food as African-Americans’ food only because it started from the slavery time in the past. Likewise, we cannot say Kimchi is only consumed by Koreans. There are lots of people all around the world, who like soul food such as fried chicken, French fries and the same time, Kimchi is being loved worldwide. I have a Korean friend who dislikes Kimchi and whenever she says she doesn’t like Kimchi in a group of friends. Their reaction would be How can a Korean Dislike Kimchi? I mean, come on, how can being a Korean has any relation to eating kimchi? we can feel how these artificial stereotypes about food have influenced our lives.

The Consequences of Having a Good Friend
A good friend can amazingly influence our lives as much as a bad friend does. Over the time, it has been proven that when we usually confront with a negative term, we are so cautious that we may not think of what the positive outcome of the other side would be like. It is the same case with making a good friendship with the right person who can, at the very least point, helps us discover and develop our abilities. On the other hand, a good friend can also be there for us when we need help. For instant, imagine tragic moments in our lives, such as a divorce, a serious illness, a job loss or death of a beloved person the only person who stands out first to help us cope with these situations is our good friends. Still for some people, a friend’s hardship is an annoyance. That’s when a really good friendships show off. Also, a good friend can boost our happiness and helps us with our both physical and mental health. Having a good friend to even talk over daily events, and to enjoy our leisure activities with, makes us a double focused person in our work and study time. In addition, sometimes a good friend can encourage us to change our bad lifestyle habits into good ones. These bad habits might either be having unplanned schedule of living, lack of exercise or more serious like excessive drinking, addiction to drugs, or…. Another outcome of having a good friend is improving our self-confidence and social relations. just like family, our good friend, as a part of social community, also can teach us a lot of good manners and courtesy. As we see, we can reach so many positive impacts from friends, all we need to do in this regard is being in touch with at least one good friend in our lives.
