It just sucks, right? Like, I don't know where the stereotype came from, but I hate that it's a stereotype and that people can't just enjoy something without it being a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, it's an insufferably stupid stereotype, but what do you expect from a town that had one Hispanic family, one Jewish family and no African Americans?

rpgamer Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Even I feel like I was dimly aware of the grape soda stereotype... maybe there's regional variants? Or tsar's just finally going senile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or tsar's just finally going senile. The ATHF episode where Shake gets bit by a radioactive black guy which turns him black features orange as the stereotype. Fyrlock injected the antidote into Shake's orange soda. Though that is the only time I've heard of any soda other than grape being a stereotypically black thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuyBeardmane Posted October 11, 2021 Author Share Posted October 11, 2021 The closest that orange soda ever got to racial stereotype in my limited experience was that Kel loved it. I never thought of it as racial, though, because I had gone on a year long kick where orange soda was all I drank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
