But the black side of my family thinks I have lost my mind. are there other black people that eat them, does it depend on where you were raised? like if ur black and grew up on the coast is it more common to eat them?

Answer 1

It is like asking if I have ever seen an oyster eating a naked black person.  

That is funny huh!  Hey no bias, just meaning that I never paid attention, but I am sure that there is, just that just by socialization maybe black families do not happen to frequent the oyster bars.  

Answer 2

I have seen an Indian eating a crab which he picked up from the seashore. He was eating the live crab. It was  horrible to see it.  

Answer 3

Check out the movie White Chicks.

Answer 4

uM....i've never really looked for black people eating raw oysters. its not something i regularly observe. sorry

Answer 5

Yes I have seen it. Back in Virginia by the coast we used to have cook outs all the time with all types of folk. The food you eat depends on what your family raised you on and your location, the prominent food source available being more common.  

Answer 6

Yes, my boyfriend's family grew up on the eastern shore of maryland where chesapeake oysters are a staple- we eat them all the time( well- only in the R months, SeptembeR is coming!!)  

Answer 7

Growing up on the East Coast, I've seen almost every ethnic group eat raw oysters....I think the concept of eating raw oysters is more foreign to landlocked people. The key to the great taste of oysters is their freshness, and its more likely you are going to get day or two old oysters if you're in Missouri. I really don't think race has anything to do with it.
