> author's surprise at discovering that different communities eat different foods.
i think it's more that in a well researched and sourced article you can't just start from the generalisation "well it's well known that minorities like spices" as that assumes an us(the reader-part of the mainstream) vs them(the quirky minority) mentality
- nashvillecactus 7y agoNever mind that the "secret" was out a long time before 2005, when the author left for grad school. There was even an Insomniac episode from 2003 that featured Prince's. I think the fact that nobody in her family had heard of hot chicken speaks more to her and her family than of the general population (white or otherwise) of Nashville.
- kkarakk 7y agoWell the article is on the internet and has a global audience(esp when amplified by aggregators like hackernews). i personally didn't know the origins of hot chicken(my first interaction with it was KFC)
