McDonald's is for whites, Burger King is for blacks?

Question

I heard this today, and the person with the man who said it agreed. It's not meant to be insulting, so please don't get offended or mad. LOL. Do you agree?

It mostly depends on where the place is. Build either store in a predominately black neighborhood, and of course it will be populated mostly by blacks. Sames for building in white neighborhoods. Unless the place is close to or on a major street/highway, it will mainly attract those that live or work nearby. There are things about both that I do not particularly like, but I am not about to go out of my way to go to a specific one.

And really, the only times I go to a fast food place for take-out are if I am coming home tired and do not want to put a lot of effort into dinner, or leaving home for a meeting or something and want to eat on the way. In either case I stop at what is close to home. And the only times I dine their is on a break from work or on a long highway drive.

Lol. I can't see how that would be true at all

I thought it was the other way around...

Where I'm from Burger King has a bad rep, mostly because the people I've known have had horrible experiences with customer service, the food and the cleanliness.

But I always thought McDonalds was for blacks & Hispanics, Burger King for white people and Taco Bell is for the uncultured white people who think they're getting a taste of Mexico

It's incorrect, race has nothing to do with it.whites and blacks don't have a strong preference to either one.

Now I have noticed most Chinese restaurants are filled with black people and most Mexican restaurants are filled with whites. But I haven't noticed a difference in McDonalds and burger king

Not you but EVERYONE is getting stupider and stupider everyday...I mean really? Now they are generalizing foods between races? This is f***ing ridiculous! I'm white and I LOVE Burger King. McDonalds is DISGUSTING!

Burger King used to advertise primarily to the African American population so that is why some people might get that idea. It's not true though, I'm white and BK is better. Now both McDonald's and Burger King advertise to whites and African Americans.

People that doubt this is true don't know anything about how marketing really works in America. Nothing in an advertisement is an accident. The music, the visuals, and the color of people's skin are very carefully chosen for each commercial and psychologists have people watch the ads and keep track of the feelings it brings out in men, in women, and then they break down by race, by age, by income, by education level, everything!

I'm white and I don't mine McDonald's but the portions you are given (or at least the one's I've had) are so small you can hardly call it a meal, it's more like a snack. Burger King is so much better, better portions, I feel it has a better selection (My opinion) both taste as good as the other but you get better value for you money at Burger King (My opinion)

martyfellow · Answer

It's really sad, but our society strongly tends to self-segregate. It's not the fault of either burger chain, but people tend to want to all go to one place, andover time, it becomes informally 'known' that some places are for one group of people...

This is of course only true in big cities where there are significant black populations. You won't find this of course in small town USA, or the suburbs, to any extent.

VoiceOfReason · Answer

I don't agree.  I strongly think that Burger King will still gladly take your money if you're White and McDonald's will gladly take your money if you're Black.  It's all a matter of individual tastes and choice based on what they feel like eating at a particular moment.  In the rare moments I partake of fast food, I always preferred Burger King or Whataburger (not present in some regions) because I prefer the flame broiled flavor over fried.

Haha funny! Look let's be honest there are certain stereotypes that are true when it comes to race. But I've never heard this one before and honestly don't believe it. This is a new one and completely unfounded to me.

AndyWes · Answer

Umm I'm white, and have been to McDonalds only a handful of times. When I go to Burger King, racial distribution really depends on what part of town you're in.

ryanontario · Answer

i eat at burget king and I'm white , and I remember back in college a lot of the black kids I had classes with were crazy about McDonald's so I don't think there is any truth here

joystickhappy · Answer

I'm Caucasian, and I always prefer Burger King to McDonald's. I prefer the atmosphere and food of burger king, compared McDonald's. However McDonald's does have the better toys.

thtdiablo · Answer

I'm white and I prefer BK - We anyway don't have many black people around here but in our town they seem to prefer McDonald's ;)

britannny · Answer

Idk, I don't really notice an unusual amount of black people at burger king, or an unusual amount of white people at McDonalds.

Racez · Answer

That's false. It really depends on where you live in.

Dewhiteknight · Answer

I agree in the sense that more white go to McDonald's over blacks and blacks Burger King. But that was wrong way to put it.

Prof_Don · Answer

As a black male, I see no racial preference for either...BTW both fast food places do "ethnic advertising "equally IMO.

Just because most people say that doesn't mean that it is true. What happened to Asians and Middle Eastern people?

Anonymous · Answer

Burger king is more expensive. And has real meat. McDonald's does not. I should know. I work at BK and my friend works at McDonald's.

zagor · Answer

I notice a lot of black people eating at McDonald's, and few at BK, so maybe it is just  a local preference.

I never heard that b4.  Interesting but sounds false.

NerdyAnon · Answer

It definitely depends on which area the BK and McDonald's are.
