Can Pizza be Racist? - Carsman - 08-18-2015
This story seems rather asinine!
It takes a lot for New Yorkers to get mad at any establishment that creates their cities most beloved dish: Pizza.
But NYC residents are furious with a local pizza joint for promoting a racist pie.
How on Earth can pizza be racist?
Pizza by Certé recently started advertising a picnic themed pizza with ingredients like fried chicken, watermelon and sunflower seeds.
And here is what they called it the pic-a-nika. The pic-a-nika.
That's racist? C'mon!
Advocacy group Millions March NYC protested the establishment and tried to get it shut down.
Pizza by Certe said, they were trying to make a play on the word picnic by pronouncing it in an Italian accent.
When you say it, see the spelling and add things like fried chicken and watermelon ... did no one say 'hey, this might incense some people?'
After some back and forth on social media the restaurant ultimately removed the item!
Pussy's! Unbelievable, they caved!!!

Yeah but if he was eating a slice of Pizza with fried chicken, watermelon and sunflower seeds, it might be a different story!

Maybe Hillary will defend the pie?

Had they named it The Picnic pizza no one would have said anything. But to put fried chicken and watermelon on a pizza and then call it The Pic-a-nika on top of it, that's just asking for trouble. They may as well have named it the Cotton Pickin Nigger pizza.

At first glance I assumed it was to illustrate an Italian accent and fried chicken and watermelon are common picnic foods.

The Baltimore businessman gained national fame in 2012 when he was pulled over in his Batmobile for not showing proper tags. Video of the traffic stop went viral.

Never mind racist. It sounds terrible.
RE: Can Pizza be Racist? - sally - 08-19-2015
Would an Italian person really pronounce picnic as pic-a-nika? It sounds more in my head like peek-a-nik.
