Michele-DMemberBlack people in America are crazy for Chinese food for the same reason Chinese people in America love McDonalds: because it is quick, inexpensive and tasty! Who says Chinese food is for Chinese people only?

Ron29637MemberIn the U.S. everybody likes Chinese food, it’s everywhere. Many grocery stores have Chinese delis in them. So I don’t think it’s just black people.

MeganMemberI don’t think it has to do with race, but I can understand it being for Americans. We have a very sodium friendly society. Americans love salt, and Chinese food is very salty.

Ben23353MemberTrust me, Americans of every race and description love Chinese food. Chinese, Italian and Mexican are arguably the most popular ethnic foods in America. Strangely, however, I think that of the three cuisines, Chinese (Asian) food is almost never prepared by Americans in their own homes, except of course if you are Asian. It’s still very exotic to most Americans since we are very averse to visiting other countries. Also, please remember that most Americans love France & the French too.

AmyMMemberI think the question is, why do people like to open Chinese take-out places in black neighborhoods? I haven’t noticed black people liking Chinese food any more than white people or Asian people but we all eat what’s available! Be Kind, for everyone is fighting a great battle." -Plato
