The age-old 'Black people and fried chicken' stirs up controversy yet again.

BBC Radio is facing rightful backlash over a video questioning why Black love chicken.

For just over one minute, the stereotypical video clip sees both Black and White millenials weighing in on the redundant topic of the contrived correlation between Black people and a love of chicken. Per usual, new of the video didn’t go over well on social media.

In 2016, the BBC ran a piece questioning why black people love fried chicken so much. And black people actually took part in it.
