Racist or Not Racist: German Obama Fried Chicken

You would be wrong if you thought the Axis Powers stopped insulting America in 1945.  Japan set it off with a blackface Obama magician and Germany takes it to the next level with Obama fried chicken.  At this point, I half expect an Italian company to sell Obama grape soda to complete the trifecta.  So what do you think LOA?  Is German Obama fried chicken racist or not racist? You make the call.

I was halfway inclined to give the Krauts a pass on this one and just chalk it up to coincidnece, thinking that your average German wouldn't be up on all of the nuances of American food-based racism... -But after giving it a bit more thought, I remembered that the Germans were like the OG master (race)-blasters of racism and they should have done their due-diligence before they start slapping the first black president's name on some nasty-ass chicken fingers.

Oh my goodness! Who are the ad wizards that came up with this one?Obama is not a German word. Even if Obama had his own special chicken breast recepie (with curry dip!?) it's disrespectful at best. These fools are so racist, they don't even know they are being racist. It's like the racism is so embedded in their minds that they can't see it. And for those thinking, well...what if it was a soul food diner deep in the heart of Georgia that had come up with this crap? Well, then it's cool. Shit, I'd eat it up with some George Foreman BBQ sauce (not some watery ass curry dip). Long story short: racista!

What the groove?! To hell with that nonsense. They know what they're doing, but if confronted, I'm sure somebody would plead ignorance.

I'm going to say bewilderingly racist. Because the German's are making Obama chicken-fingers, but don't quite have their American stereotypes down enough to pair them with a side of hot sauce, and instead end up confusing everyone with the curry sauce. Backhand to the Indians as well? Maybe.
