I follow this person on Twitter, and I'm sure she means this literally, and I'm OK with it.

    What is this about washing chicken under tap water? They think it'll make them sick or something?

      You should not rinse chicken (or meat) in the sink, it's a) useless if you cook them properly (as in, not eat them raw), because that will kill the bacteria and b) potentially harmful because you'll splash around the bacteria on your sink/utensils etc where they will remain dangerous since they won't be cooked.

      idk what the original commenter meant, maybe he missed a negation and wanted to say that white people rinse their meats when they dont have to? because that makes more sense to me

        That makes sense. I have no idea why I didn't immediately register washing meat as weird other than im-vegan

      1. fresh chicken doesn't need to be washed
      2. 99% of chicken bought at stores isn't fresh, and has a layer of slime on it
      3. many people (mostly non-white) choose to wash chicken because of this
      4. white people think they will get sick from the raw chicken sprayback (but not the sprayback of literally every other dirty thing they wash)
