McDonald's is racist...

Is it McDonald's or MkkkDonalds? I'm not so sure anymore. Of course we can all remember their set of commercials aimed at the African American demographic, the pinnacle being a group of young kids playing basketball...on rollerblades in the hood. Sure that was all fine and dandy, but have you seen the new chicken fries commercial? It features a father chicken coming home to see his son chicken hanging out with a bunch of french fries, listening to some hip hop music. The dad asks the small chicken (just a reminder chicken is a WHITE meat) what he's doing with the "fries." The kid chicken tells the dad that the "fries" are his "boys" (racist generalization). The father then proceeds to tell the kid chicken that he can't hang out with his "boys" or he's going to end up being "one of them" (racist) too. He even goes as far as saying that they are just a "side dish" (jeez McDonald's why don't you just send them to the back of the bus). So wake up McDonald's this isn't 1955!
