    Juneteenth celebrates the abolishment of slavery, I’d say people of colour are the most happy about that, and people of colour are stereotypically famous for making good food

    4th of July celebrates the US independence, which though not a predominantly a white holiday more white people (on account of being a racial majority) will celebrate it, and white people are stereotypically famous for making bland food

      This seems pretty dumb… I don’t typically attribute amazing Mac and cheese to minorities.

      Like… Most other foods, sure. But this one? Come now…

      I don’t think the meme itself is making that particular distinction, moreso just the difference in cuisine in general as a racial stereotype.

      The stereotype I always saw was just KFC, watermelon and some purple drink. Maybe it was a bit more aggressive stereotype than what you had in mind

        as both Juneteenth and the 4th of July are American holidays, I referred to American stereotypes about Americans
