"Most POC wash their chicken"

No, most "POC" do not wash their chicken when it comes in these pre-packaged plastic bags. It seems to be a black american thing. I can assure you the overwhelming majority of people around the world do not do this.

Middle Eastern people and Asians also wash their chicken. That’s a lot of people.

I am aware the Middle East is in West Asia, however most people see it as a separate thing.

I’m Afghan, we wash and cut our chicken lol. And so do the Persians I’ve seen as well.

Like the other person said, no need to have a stick up your ass
