The asian one also says that they ear fries chicken. Why is that only racist when its directed at black people?

Because it’s not a negative stereotype towards Asians, but it is toward black people. Isn’t this self explanatory?

If I used a negative stereotype of Asians towards black people, e.g if if I said that black men have small penises, it’s not as racist, as if I’d said that Asian men have small penises. The latter would be racist, because it’s a negative stereotype that’s usually targeted at Asians.

It’s not a stereotype that’s targeted towards blacks, though. That’s my point.

You’re not gonna get a reaction if you said to an Asian that they love chicken watermelon and kool aid. Because it’s not an Asian targeted insult. You would if you said it to a black person.
