There is a stereotype that black people like fried chicken, watermelon, chitlens (sp?), and a few other things. ON a funny note every time I looted watermelon or roasted qual (the icon looked fried) in WoW I would always mail them in game to my Nigerian friend. Sometimes he wouldnt talk to me. But once he sent me coal for christmas.

It's more of a cultural thing than a race thing. Fried chicken became popular in the south among blacks during the slave trade era because it was cheap, easy to make, and just tastes good. I actually remember seeing an episode on the History Channel where they talked about this when talking about the origins of KFC and fried chicken in general.
