Erika Abad is the reason our education system needs to be burned to the ground, starting with these fake universities: 'How we eat our chicken' is a racial issue according to this professor t.co/aIWWiuOaKA

A DePaul University (DePaul) alumna and Nevada State College professor, Erika Abad, gave a presentation to other Depaul alumni on “colorism,” the notion that minority groups discriminate against each other based on how dark their skin is.
Abad said in her early February presentation that even tastes and smells are racialized, including “[h]ow we eat our chicken.”
The presentation was uploaded to the DePaul University Office of Alumni Relations YouTube channel.

Abad said that “colorsim” can be explained through five points, dubbed the “sense(s) of colorism:” sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste.
On the topic of sight, she referenced hair style and products, arguing that using coconut-based and scented products is about assimilating to “whiteness.”
Then, answering a question posed to her during the live stream, she said that “how [people of color] eat [their] chicken” is also about “whiteness,” but did not explain the details.
Doubling down, Abad said tanning has been racially “sexualized in a certain way,” making reference to “Ariana Grande … performing brown face in terms of her aesthetic.”
