QuoteBy Ed Flanagan, NBC News

BEIJING – For all the grief the Obama administration is getting from China for filing a complaint with the World Trade Organization about Chinese tariffs on American chicken exports, perhaps the president should be suing China for royalties instead.

We've seen Obama peddle chicken for Kentucky Fried Chicken in Hong Kong, so it was just a matter of time before he broke loose and got his own franchise here in the mainland.

Obama Fried Chicken, or at least what we assume OFC stands for, was found earlier this week in Beijing and comes with the slogan written underneath in Chinese: "We're so cool, aren't we?"

Indeed...

Thanks to the team at Shanghaiist for the photo.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

It's clearly a young Frank Sinatra, or "Old Blue Eyes".

How is the picture racist?
Because implying that black people like fried chicken is racist according to stupid people.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

But are Chinese people aware of the stereotype?

Maybe, maybe not.  Nevertheless, Tim is an American, and so he feels that everyone should be aware of what he feels is and isn't racist.
