Especially those disgusting popcorn shrimp.
If I eat shrimp, they will be OldBayed steamed jumbo or sauteed in a salad--something that cheap all you can eat buffets won't do that well.
The history behind why certain groups eat certain foods is tied to factors like disproportionate socioeconomic status, access to cheap foods (we know disgusting popcorn shrimp are cheap), and the leftovers that slave owners gave blacks during slavery. People pretend that slavery (and the control and genocide of nonblack minorities, as well) and other forms of racial separation are sooo over but they live on through things like people's eating habits and socialization patterns. *putting one finger in the air as I dismiss myself*
