    Just like someone wrote elsewhere on the board about racial physical differences, some people will use any difference at all to set themselves apart from others. At one time in history there were economic reasons that black people ate different foods than white people. White people exploited this difference to use as a slam or a jab, to point out the class difference. Black people were extremely sensitive and resentful of these comments, and still are. This is why these comments and stereotypes persist to this day. The comments are intended to antagonize, and they are quite effective. (For example, see the first response to this question).
