I think we all know the demographics overrepresented when it comes to knife crime in London is young black men. so we are to assume any campaign to tackle knife crime in London is specifically targeted to young black boys. so essentially printing "knives are bad" on fried chicken boxes is the only way they thought they could get through to these boys... and yeah, we know that everybody likes fried chicken but let's not act like white people haven't created a stereotype around black people and fried chicken and that stereotype is not why they thought this was a good idea. I really don't buy that anyone actually believes that they would ever do the same thing to tackle the white on white gang violence in this country. Like just imagine that scenario in your head.
