Celebrity chef Paula Deen, who has recently found herself in some controversy after alleged racist behaviour against African-Americans, has come out denying all allegations.
Deen said that she couldn’t be racist as she could name several ‘black dishes’ that she had cooked, some of which she counted amongst her favorite recipes.
Included in her list of foods she loved to make were ‘fried chicken, chitlins, cornbread, black-eyed peas, hushpuppies, okra, watermelon chicken, watermelon ice-cream and watermelon fried chicken.’
“I can’t be racist, I make all the food that those people like! They eat unhealthy shit, right?” Deen said, probably hurting her case more than anything.
