[quote=Anonymous]A lot of what is described in this thread (especially the food) has more to do with geography and soci-economics than race. Sure, certain foods may have been eaten by slaves, but they were also eaten by poor white people, especially in the south. Grits/similar dishes go back to one of the ways native Americans prepared and ate corn hundreds of years ago. Anecdotally, I’m a white southerner who grew up playing Uno, plays it regularly with my kids/family now, and cooks Mac & cheese as a regular part of our meals (& not because of picky eaters— it’s just a food we like). We also eat cornbread, black-eyed peas and grits, all of which were commonly cooked and eaten by my/my husband’s parents and grandparents. [/quote]
